I will say that I stretched a light weight netting over the top of this to keep the plastic from flapping which tears it up at the attachments. That works really well. To attach the netting I just sink screws every 8 inches or so into the wood and hook the netting over that. Easy on, easy off. The plastic is stapled onto the wood.

We built a frame using 1/2 inch PVC pipe. The plastic was stretched over the pipe and secured with 1/2 in. snap clamps. Our greenhouse is shaped like a Quonset hut

Changing the dimensions provided to you in the kit should not be a problem. You may run into a little problem with the roof trusses, but all cuts made are straight no angles. Careful measurements or trial and error should result in a stable greenhouse that best fits the space you have available to you (given it's built on a flat, level area). Just be careful with the plastic brackets, they are semi rigid and will crack if you torque down on a screw too much. Take it slow and get help during assembly. Good luck with your project.

I recommend returning the greenhouse. Mine blew over the very next morning and was a pc of twisted plastic & aluminum or what ever the post are made of. Even wit the directions it took 3 people 8 hrs to put up.

I bought it for the purpose of using in a cold frame. Seedlings that were started indoors are ready to go outside to be tempered for the greenhouse (that is not built yet!)

We bought 10x10 from http://amazon.com. It is good quality, try this link: 10'X12' GAZEBO REPLACEMENT CANOPY TOP

We will have to check with co--I have no idea as previous e-mail reply stated, we too, staked ours down--my husband used tie downs across our greenhouse an anchored to a fence--we live in Kansas and knew with our winds, we needed it anchored. Otherwise, all is well with structure--

You really need to tie or weight it down against the wind. I've done this and had zero problems with it. I've also seen this greenhouse on sale at tractor supply for $40 recently.

Ross garden netting like the 16440 3' by 50' will work well. Use twist ties to attach.

If I remember correctly the poles were 1" diameter and about 2mm. thickness for the wall of the poles. I bought this for my brother and he never did use the polyethylene fabric, just the frame and some plastic netting wrapped around it to keep the deer out, so I don't know how long the fabric would last. The frame was pretty sturdy when all put together. We built this on a hill so for extra precaution & support we added metal plumbers tape (1/2" x 50' metal strap with holes drilled ever 1/2") diagonally on every other pole. Just like the the 4 support poles it came with just more of them with the metal strapping.

The greenhouse can be anchored to a cement floor. The screws/anchors for this are not included with the greenhouse, so you would need to purchase those locally.

This for placing on a windowsill; It is not meant to be an outdoor windowbox which would attach. It fits nicely on my indoor windowsills that are 4 inches deep, but it will fit on 3 inch sills. We had all the windows replaced in our house, and most of our sills are too narrow, but we have 5 windows in a sunroom that have wide sills and that is where I can use these. There is no way to attach these little greenhouses unless some handyman makes an attachment to hold them.

I like the trellis netting, it does seem pretty sturdy, and have used mine to trellis peas. I just used old deck lumber and various pieces of wood I had around. Anything will work, you just need to be able to either staple or tie the netting to the posts in order to keep it tight.

The walls are attached to the legs by Velcro so there is some play to make it fit. No need to be super precise. Adhesive backed Velcro stick on surfaces are provided, enough to put on all four sides of the frame. I used to have a quick shade canopy and I have to say there is no drastic difference. I am pretty happy with it.

Hi John,You can watch an assembly video showing the panels sliding into place by visiting Living Outfitters dot com and searching for "HG5304G". The actual thickness is less than 1mm.This is a great greenhouse for many of our customers.Thanks!

Ours is a narrow railing about the width of a 2"X4". The planter fits perfectly. Technically, yours is a 2"X4" also. Two by fours are really 2 X 4 BEFORE they are trimmed, etc. I'd get the smaller one, if I were you.

Between the uprights, a Jiffy Greenhouse 50 pellet kit will fit perfectly, the Jiffy kit is 21 inches long and 11 inches wide.

Philip, This heavy duty canopy is solid material but was to small for my for my swing set. I felt I was mislead on this purchase.
