Little Cottage Co. 10x16 Colonial Gable Greenhouse - Wood DIY Kit for Garden, Backyard, Lawn

Design, materials, construction and strength rate an A++, wife and several of her friends want to install curtains and move in, as I installed lights, power, fan ventilation and plumbing. Three things that were unsatisfactory. One is unloading from a common carrier requires a 72" tined forklift, which is too heavy to pull, with trailer behind a F150 or equivalent, even with heavy towing package. No regular homeowner has one that big, and rental company would not rent me one because of the weight and liability. Wall sections had no spacing which requires lifting each section by hand on to any forklift: hard for us retirees. Last is the untreated edges of the trim. Sucked in 2 coats of the best primer available and then an additional 2 of high end paint, including masking it took me 3 days. They could have, before attaching, sprayed the edges with a sealant.

Love this. I want to move in and live there. It is even better than expected. It made it through the winter just great. Had to put heat in it to keep plants alive but it is my favorite thing ever.

Purchased an 8 x 10 value gable shed kit directly from the company. Delivery was about 3 weeks past what they tell you to expect. Flimsy materials. Directions tell you to order 5 bundles of shingles. Only needed 3 1/2. Didn’t include enough roofing nails. No response to complaints. Recommend that you spend the extra and get a locally made shed that would allow you to see the finished product.

I bought this to modify and use as a chicken coop. The first order had been pretty beat up during delivery. So, Amazon quickly sent out another, which was great. Setting this thing up was no easy feat. We ended up building a foundation so it was perfectly level, building our own floor since it didn’t come with one, hand carrying each panel into place, anchoring it down, etc. We hired to local handymen to put it up ($$$) because it was just too much for me to handle. I did, however, insulate it, line it with plywood, seal the floor with rubber, and install an automatic chicken door. Next step is white stucco on the interior and grey on the exterior. Along with hardware cloth as a screen on the exterior of the windows for additional protection against predators, sweeter heaters (on amazon), nesting boxes, and perches. We will modify it according to the season so the birds are comfortable. Here are the CONS: -heavy heavy items -siding isn’t sealed along the edges -chips easily -if it gets wet in-transit prepare for warping -no floor

I love having a place to grow plants. I’ve had it for three years and other than getting a little dusty, it holds up to our horrible Texas winds. Everyone comments on how much they like it!
