Palram greenhouse review

This is my review of the Palram 8'x12' greenhouse kit that I bought and assembled. The instructions don't give the greatest descriptions of the parts or assembly, but the parts do fit together well. Once assembled it's fairly sturdy.

Going to buy a Palram 8’x16’ I plan on pouring a cement footing around the perimeter to anchor it to, I assume anchoring it to concrete is an option ?

Hi thanks for the video im thinking of ordering one now but its a Augarden brand looks exactly the same its 3 meters by 2 meters . i want to build it in my workshop so i can take my time and have no interruptions with wind and weather and do it properly with sealant and brace it a bit more now my question is do you think this could be picked up by 4 people on each corner to move it say 50 meters, 150 ft with out it falling to pieces? Simple yes or no would be appreciated. Thanks

Ours arrives tomorrow and I plan on building a 4X4X12 base like you did. I am going to build a planter box on both sides and will attach them to the base and possibly the vertical wall support, therefore securing the Greenhouse to the inner fortified box. With longer bolts am I going to be able to adjoin the posts of the box to the outer wall support? We'll see, but it does seem like a good idea. These Greenhouses seem awfully flimsy. I thought that I might use some fishing line to invisibly help prevent the panels from flexing/bowing in the wind.

Another thing I discovered, make sure to clean out the little gutters, they clog easily, and the plastic clips on the base that hold the clear panels need to have sealant put on them because water leaks in there. Both are minor inconveniences.

Thanks so much for your response. I put the wood frame together and just picked up the greenhouse. I am confused. I received three large boxes. 1 of 2 and 2 of 2 are Balance 8 x 8 Greenhouse. Then there's a 4 foot extension kit. I had no idea that it took an extension kit to make this a 12 foot greenhouse. I'm looking closely at your base and I see no extension kit seams. What can you tell me about this? Thanks so much.

How do these hold up threw the winter time with snow on the roof and ice do you half to take roof panels out

[markballard]

Sir, I just ordered this exact greenhouse. Can you please tell me how you secured it to the 4x4 base? Are there screw holes?

[robbbennett]

Hello and thanks for the video. I am going to be putting mine together this week and I wanted to ask you how long the 4 4x4s were cut to. Thanks in advance.

Planning to purchase a greenhouse kit soon. Thank you for the info.

[misisboom]

Thank you for the review, how is this on snow?

[topcat]

I am looking at buying one of these. Would you recommend caulking all the panels?

[helenabrushpaing]

I bought this GH and yesterday I got two builders to build it and it took them the whole day and still not quite finished yet. So as you said the instruction was not clear and it will be difficult for people who are not DIY experts to do it. Anyway, my question is anchoring the GH to the floor. The GH is for the allotment so I will use the floor space inside to grow things. Therefore I don't want to put wood platform. Thanks.

Hey. Good review. What latitude are you at? I'm at 49 north.

[GrahamNickerson]

Did you anchor bolt your 4X4s to the ground?

[ffjsb]

The clear sealant I used to fix the problems with the greenhouse was Lexel brand. I used the smaller tube, (not the caulk gun tube) it was plenty.

I have a video on how I heated this greenhouse. It worked out fairly well.

[zukosmom]

Where did you buy it from and what’s the model number?

[andrewashdown]

I have been building mine for several weeks - worst DIY experience of my life - as you say crap instruction manual - but it is also requires about ten arms + hands all working at once - and even then things just keep popping-out again - I am near to giving up
