Is this a "Snap and Grow" greenhouse?

No--it is a Palram Mythos. It was easy to put together and I did it all by myself. Some of the steps would be easier with two people however. It is going down to freezing tonight so we filled it with shrubs and plants. Now all I have to do is figure out how to get rid of some of my wife's junk so I have some room to grow garden plants :-)

This thing takes two people a full day or two half days to assemble. ALOT of screws but very high quality

No, it's not a snap together. It is screws. Tons of them. It took my husband and I two full days to put it together. Some of the panels don't exactly fit, but once together, it stays put.

Tried to heat it jan. 2014 for 1 month with an electric heater. Power bill increased over $100.00 for that month. Gave up that idea. Great for early start to vege garden or flowers. Unless you are willing to spend as much on a good climate control for both summer and winter use along with humidity control this is not worth purchasing. My house is 6x8. Plenty large enought for my use but usefulness of year round needs is not worth the price of the purchase unless you are serious about the additional equipment and the cost of the power bill. You will also need to provide water as you will need it as req'd. Tried to heat it jan. 2014 for 1 month with an electric heater. Power bill increased over $100.00 for that month. Gave up that idea.

It's manufactured by the same company but I believe the construction method is different. Found it easy to put together. Excellent instructions included.

No. The one I purchased does not have the ability to make it larger. It was a pain to assemble but it's a nice item once assembled. It's been below freezing this here in NC. I have a Dayton electric heater operating at full load (15 Amps) and it's been keeping the inside temp in the 60'S and 70'S. I am trying to winter over some tropical plants. It seems to being doing a good job as these plants are flowering again. I don't know how much the power bill will be as of yet but time will tell.

I've only had my greenhouse up since May..So far still looks beautiful and appears to be quite a quality product..More than that I'm not able to say..But if you want to be sure I recommend you visit; palramapplications.com/contact us...They've been helpful to me. :)

This isn't a heavy duty greenhouse. It's good for seed starting and small plants and I would only use it in the home or garage. Mine has worked good for seeds but I did purchase small fluorescent lights from Home Depot to put in it.

In an enclosed space yes, depends on what you're growing also. Different plants would like different lighting I found this a great lighting system for vegtative growth it was less then par for flower development by all means you cannot go wrong on the price and quality hydrofarm is on par with many 200w systems of other names

We have had ours up for nearly a year. It weathers very well winter and summer. Only concern for us is if we have strong winds and a branch falls, it slices the plastic pretty easily. We put a layer of clear hard plastic roofing material on the top of the greenhouse to give it greater strength and covered it with the plastic. The plastic itself wears well for 3 to 4 years. Of course, depending on your weather where you are...

yes, you can purchase any part of the greenhouse from manufacture. And they should give 10-15% discount. You can ask for it or free shipping.

I do not know the palram greenhouse but this was not made for my Harbor Freight greenhouse and it was an easy adaptation. It took drilling a couple of holes in the aluminum and attaching it with sheet metal screws. I have had it almost a year and it Works fine.

I would definitely not dismantle it. It's a lot of work to do that every time. The greenhouse itself is very light and can be easily moved by two people without much effort. We keep use ours to keep fruit trees and plants from freezing in the winter. In the summer we plan to move it to the other side of our house and grow tomatoes.

the temp will be just a little warmer, but that is with sun light on the unit. They are not make to replace the glass greenhouse, just to help you get started a little sooner.

The frame for the shelving provides stability to the greenhouse so that may not work for you. Also, if it is outside, the cover needs to be anchored down with tent-like stakes so concrete would not work for this purpose.

It appears to be. It's made from some sort of reinforced plastic. When fully zipped up, it gets hot and humid inside just like a greenhouse. I live in Florida. I have it in a corner on my screened lanai but it still susceptible to rainy days and I have not noticed anything inside getting wet from the daily thunderstorms we have here.

If there is sunshine on the greenhouse it will warm during the day. Don't think it has enough to stay warm at night without help. Reinforcement mesh is part of the plastic sheet. Plastic is pretty thick, about 20 mil or so. Plenty of light comes in if sun is shining. To keep it warm you'll need a space heater at night.X

The sides and back of the greenhouse have a flaps at the ground level that is about a foot in length.... they can be covered in dirt or rock/cinder blocks to keep animals out. The front they might be able to dig under. I like this greenhouse and great priced. I would put up a cheap field fence and you would be golden!

I really don't get the people claiming their greenhouse was blown down. I live in Florida and we recently had some pretty crazy weather. We have not yet bolted or tied down our greenhouse and so had gotten a little worried when the winds got crazy, but that greenhouse didn't budge an inch. I was skeptical when we first bought the greenhouse about a year ago but w are really happy with it. Its much more durable than i had originally thought it would be.

i dont know if some people just arent meant to figure things out but ive had this greenhouse since last winter. thru rain wind and then 100+ deg weather and guess what.....its still there no rips in plastic never flew away because i staked it down and used the excess plastic at the bottom and lined it with bricks. simple. only thing about this green house that sucks is one the spacing is too far between for heavy rain it will droop but a few peices of rope along the top and problem solved. second is if the zipper gets dirty it will break. ive had a couple of these and no i zip them up and buy the sticker zippers. put it on the door like a sticker unzip and cut plastic. works perfect!! i dont know if some people just arent meant to figure things out but ive had this greenhouse since last winter. thru rain wind and then 100+ deg weather and guess what.....its still there no rips in plastic never flew away because i staked it down and used the excess plastic at the bottom and lined it with bricks. simple. only thing about this green house that sucks is one the spacing is too far between for heavy rain it will droop but a few peices of rope along the top and problem solved. second is if the zipper gets dirty it will break. ive had a couple of these and no i zip them up and... » Read More i dont know if some people just arent meant to figure things out but ive had this greenhouse since last winter. thru rain wind and then 100+ deg weather and guess what.....its still there no rips in plastic never flew away because i staked it down and used the excess plastic at the bottom and lined it with bricks. simple. only thing about this green house that sucks is one the spacing is too far between for heavy rain it will droop but a few peices of rope along the top and problem solved. second is if the zipper gets dirty it will break. ive had a couple of these and no i zip them up and buy the sticker zippers. put it on the door like a sticker unzip and cut plastic. works perfect!! « Show Less

Yes I use it in a greenhouse 24/7 during the winter months October through April. It has safeguards. It is able to be set to a temp so that only the pilot remains on once it gets to the set temp unlike others which run constantly.
