Did I make a bad purchase?

I have two of the HF 10x12 Greenhouses. I am very pleased with them, especially for what you get for the money. When you start assembling the pieces, your impression is that it is flimsy and poorly designed. When it is together, it is very solid, ridged and impressive. The assembly instructions are poor but you can find many articles and photos on the web. I was missing some minor plastic pieces but the HF people sent replacements very quickly. Bottom line, I recommend it especially when it is on sale for around $600.00.

I purchased a Seedhouse from Parks Seeds 2 years ago and used it for the first time this spring since I started many seeds. It is made by Flowerhouse and is self-erecting. Size is 3ft H x 4 ft W x 4 ft.D.

I just needed something to transfer plants to once they became too large for the indoor lights I used to have a greenhouse in the 80's and have no desire for another. This setup I have is great for temporary use. I live in windy Wyoming and no problems with it blowing away. Next time I use it, I will put in a heating mat so I can use it earlier in the season.

This company also sell greenhouses that are self-erecting in different sizes. Great if you want something larger that can be later stored away. Every model comes in a zippered bag.

Below is the one I purchased. CAme with a shade cloth.

My HFGH has been great for me. (10X12). Put the frame from an old child's swing set in the back. Put plants on the floor & hanging baskets on the swing set. Use different lengths chains to get more hanging baskets in there. Also hang some of each side of the swing where there is a cross bar for support. My son brought over his old wooden saw horses & a set of bi-fold doors he no longer wanted. Fits nicely on the right side of the GH. Put plants on the "floor" & on the makeshift shelves. On the left side of the green house I put the iron frame the GH came in. Makes space under & above for plants. Another one of the bi-fold doors for the shelf top. Oh yes, for the floor I put in roll roofing. Eliminates weeds, easy to sweep & you don't have to worry about water. Don't usually have really severe winters here so a small heater is all that I have to use. On sunny days I have to open the doors & sometimes use a table fan for cooling. We have been known to have very warm days even in Dec. Too hot here to use it in the summer so I end up using it to store tools & stuff I'm too lazy to put in the shed. One thing I bought I would not recommend is some things that were supposed to open the roof vents(4) when the heat got high in there. Worked the first year & not at all after that. Don't remember what they were called but they had some kind of gas in them. My son calls it my redneck GH because of the makeshift shelves, etc., but it sure does fill the ticket for me & I am recycling!!! Judy
