Review on Maximize Your Greenhouse Garden Space With The Gardman R687 4-Tier Mini Greenhouse by Jon Thompson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

GREAT-- AS LONG AS YOU SECURE IT PROPERLY!

I read all the reviews b4 choosing this grren house. I am a novice gardener. 3rd year planter.I cant grow my seedlings in my home bc of 4 dogs and 2 cats, I needed a greenhouse that could withstand cooler eve temps and option to be outside.I really like this house BECAUSE i followed the advice of others reviews.IF YOU DON'T HAVE THESE TWO ITEMS YOU NEED TO GET THEM: 1. BUY ZIP TIES (the large size, XL is fine, too) to loop the wire shelving to the shelf brackets. 2. BUY GROUND STAKES if you are going to put it outside. Some used the cover loops to secure the greenhouse to something, but that's probably where damage to the cover happens. I was lucky enough to have dog kennel ground stakes laying in my toolchest, so I could stake the bottom rack into the ground.On may 1st, we had 30mph winds and strong rain, and it never moved. The cover is still nicely intact, too. There is no damage to my greenhouse.My seedlings are popping up very nicely and there is a layer of moisture inside so I know the humidity is good.I did read also that some advise to bring it in on chilly eves, so this week here in MN (1st week of may) it's going to drop into the high 30s. I will simply add a tarp or blanket over the greenhouse to ensure it stays warm inside, although I think personally it would be fine, as my understanding is it stays 30° warmer inside the greenhouse; but to be safe, I will take the extra precaution, and cover it.I'm also going to take another reviewer's advice and buy a thermometer for inside, just so I can see the temperature difference.I've had my greenhouse 4 about 10 days I think, and so far I am very happy with it. IF you buy zip ties and be sure to secure it firmly you will be happy with it probably, too. But it MUST have added security, otherwise you will be disappointed. Inside a house will probably be secure enough, as long as you dont have small kids or pets around it.I have the "large" jiffy rectangular containers and you can fit 2 vertically on each shelf, giving a total of 8. Each container holds 24 small pods I believe.I would give the sturdiness and stability a 5 star each IF they would add zip ties and stakes to their product. But since they dont, it is an added cost if you dont have these two added items that you definitely will need! There for it gets 4 stars altogether.
