I think I will opt for one of these. If I like it I will buy another. It will accoodate all the plants I have now with room to spare, and should be easy to heat and cool.. Best price I have seen for a GH of this size too.. Whatcha think?

Bill,

I've bought a lot of stuff from them over the last 5 years or so. They tend to be a little on the low side regarding quality, but that looks like a pretty well put together piece. Excellent price.

Hmmm, what do I think

Looks like a pretty good setup for the price.
But as Buck has stated you sometimes will get a lower quality product from them.

Yes, we have a HF place near here, and I know their stuff is cheaply made. However, most of their cheaply made stuff holds up pretty good. That's why I will buy only ONE to begin with. It does "appear" well made structurally, according to the pic. Here in zone 7B, I won't have to worry about heavy snow piling up on it, and I am protected from wind by hedge bushes and an oak grove all the way around the house. I don't forsee any issues I can't deal with.

Sounds like a plan to me

You'll have to give us your test results on the product.

You betcha Bill!! I will. I did hear on a greenhouse forum that these GHs were very nice, for the price..

Here's a link where you can read all sorts of reviews on them.. Most everyone seems quite satisfied with them.

Bill, that's an impressive size for the money, from where I'm sitting, it's very cheap even when converted to our Aussie dollar value. To buy something similar to that size over here would cost close to AU$2,500 - $3,000.

Yes, very good size for the money ! To give you an idea, here, for that price you get something much smaller :

I called our local Harbor Freight this morning. They said they have these in stock. I said "How much"? They said $719. I said "They are on the internet for $599". they said bring a print out and they will honor it. I hope to go get it tomorrow!!

Sounds like a good deal Bill. My 8x10 cost more than that!
