My daughter bought this greenhouse last fall. My son-in-law had to do a lot to make sure it didn't blow away. She bought it from HF, I think. It is flimsy but it has stood high wind because of the reeinforcement. I think it is 6 x 8 foot or 10 ft. That size heats up real quick in the summer so shading on the west side is a must. She used a standing fan during this past summer. She uses it to start her veggie plants in the spring. Not a greenhouse to heat economically.

Whatever greenhouse one buys, alway build it so the long side runs north to south. That way less hot spots from the sun as it moves across the sky.

Edited to add that the photos was taken day after my son-in-love finished putting it up last fall. The sliding doors is not on yet.
