Blew apart within 10 cold days The greenhouse blew apart within ten days of completion. I built it well. The directions are good. Anchored it well and square. It turned cold and the wind blew in my well sheltered placement at about 30 mph according to the weather report. I suspect the cooefficient of expansion is too great in the panels and they shrink out of the retention grooves when it gets cold. It was about zero degrees in Iron Mountain,MI dated 2/19/13. All verifible. I called Palram and explained 5 panels were damaged and I explained the details. I then asked if they would send me replacements and some small braces and in return I would try to solve the situation and give them the info.. I have done this for companies before. They said they would have to charge me for the parts and that the greenhouse was not warranteed for weather.Caveat Emptator

Fantastic little greenhouse!!! I am so glad that I researched all of the greenhouses. Even though they all look similar…they are NOT. The Palram is the better quality greenhouse. It arrived in two boxes. My husband and I put this together over a two day period. The directions are somewhat hard to understand. Like 56 pages. There are pictures but no writing. Like a lot of items we’ve had to assemble, this one came in tons of pieces, both large and small, and some of the parts were not numbered. No parts were missing. I recommend that you lay everything out and pre read the directions, then re read them at the time of assembly. There is no flooring included, so you will need to figure something out. We got a load of gravel because I knew it would be high humidity and wet due to all the watering of the plants. We assembled the walls on the first day and the roof on the second day. On the very first night of completion, we had a high wind advisory and when we woke up, it had scooted about a foot across the gravel. We had planned on staking it down combined with strapping steel cable over the top, but had no idea we would need it the first night. Since then, we’ve added custom built benches, have screwed everything down, and staked it down with steel cables. Nice and sturdy now. We have had several high winds since it has been assembled with no problems. We haven’t had any hail yet, but the plastic panels are bouncy, as if the hail could bounce right off and not harm them. There is something I did to keep the windows from rattling and possibly coming loose in a thunderstorm. I duct taped the perimeters of each twin wall panel, both inside and outside. Not only does it act as a caulking(waterproofing it), it is also very quiet now. When it pours the rain, the greenhouse does not leak. I don’t know if it would have leaked or not without the tape, I just couldn’t stand the rattling sound. I warn you that it will take two, possibly three people to assemble this greenhouse. The whole time we were putting it up, we kept saying how cheaply made it was and how we wanted to quit putting it together and return it for a refund so we could try to build one ourselves using wood, but once it was complete, it turned out to be very strong, and we both agreed that it had to be totally assembled before we could really appreciate it. I’ve been planting seeds since Feb 25, and am having 100% success rates with seedlings. I do not have a green thumb, and I’ve never owned a greenhouse before, but I feel like a pro already. This greenhouse will save you money and give you something creative to do… planting seeds and tending to them. It keeps me busy. One thing I have learned is that greenhouses do not stay warm overnight in cold temps. We put ours up in early February and have a little heater in there for the cold nights. Of course, during the days, it has been a learning game for me. Depending on sunshine and outside temps, my greenhouse has been up to 115 and down to 60 during the day. I bought the available shade kit and the available plant hangers. I also bought the Auto Vent Kit for the window, but sent it back because the one that comes with the greenhouse works much better. We built wrap around two tiered wood benches and I plan to use the greenhouse for storage during the winter months. Good luck to you all. I highly recommend this greenhouse. And remember, the smaller the greenhouse, the less your energy bill will be when you need to run a heater. I love my Palram Mythos 6×8 Greenhouse!!!!!
