Review on Gardman 7622 Walk-In Greenhouse: Superior Shelving, Size 75" L x 49" W x 75" H by Cory Miles

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Value for the price but needs tweaks

First, this is a temporary greenhouse made with thin metal tubes, plastic connectors and a thin plastic tent cover. Of course, it will be flimsy but that’s why it’s low cost and temporary. It must be anchored on each corner snugly and on relatively level ground. The provided string and stake is barely adequate for this- suggest using much longer stakes (or lag bolts on concrete) and strong but thin rope . It is light weight with a large cross-section-so, of course it’ll blow over if not properly secured. You’ve been warned.Some areas to fix- it could easily have a shelf on both sides, but doesn’t. The door straps are too short which is really a shame because it’s probably a penny to add another 3 inches to each- better still could be Velcro or snaps.And, it gets HOT. I’ve seen 126 F on 60 F days. To properly vent so much heat, it really needs a high opening opposite the door (that can be closed). Keep this in mind- partial shade would help if possible but you’ll need to figure out how to avoid prematurely cooking your veggies. For me, this is a big problem and possibly a fatal flaw for many buyers.

Pros
  • Stylish exterior is perfect for showcasing rare or prized plants
Cons
  • May require additional features or modifications for optimal plant growth
