Worthwhile purchase
This is well made with good materials and great working zips. I like that the strong cover is 10cm longer than the frame. I tucked this under except for the door to keep slugs/pests from crawling in when closed. It is lightweight so I fitted a screw hook either side of it to the fence it was backing on and held it in place with a bungee strap, now it can't be blown over. I also fixed a grid to the underside top to prevent rain from pooling on the top. this also allows me to attach supports for my tomato cordons. I found it too short for my tomatoes so I raised the frame up on wooden blocks. This added good ventilation as the summer progressed. I had no pest troubles. The straps that held the door in the rolled up position were very weak and disintegrated in the sun. This wasn't an issue as I rolled and cloths pegged the door open.

Overall good... except for rain....
I really like this, it's easy to put together & the plastic isn't flimsy.I actually wanted it for storage space, and my carefully trimmed tomato plants are taller than this anyway.Sadly, I didn't take a photo, but if it rains, the roof becomes a swimming pool, and the whole cover slides up with the weight, so I tented it with a pole. A slightly slanted roof would be ideal, but I doubt the manufacturer wants to change the process and all the machinery for that.If I were using it for growing plants, I would punch a couple of small strategic holes to allow drainage.

Does what it says
Very pleased with steadiness of the idea of the purpose I bought it for

Bog standard plastic greenhouse, but does the job
I’ve had several of these small plastic greenhouses over the years, from lots of different manufacturers. They’re all pretty much the same and last a couple of years before the weather destroys them. I can’t fit anything bigger in my garden and they’re good enough to grow tomatoes and cucumbers in, which is what we use them for.This one is similar to all the others I’ve had, and at the time I bought it, was the cheapest.However - I’ve rated it 2 stars for ease of construction as the spring loaded poles that are used in these taller greenhouses were all “faulty”. A spring sticks out the top of one end of the pole, and you slide another pole over the top and the spring holds it in place. Except all 8 poles in my set had the spring pushed so far into the pole I had to use a combination of long nosed pliers and a narrow screwdriver tip to edge them out so they were useable. Not a deal breaker, but I cut my finger in the process and it made it more hassle than it should have been. I’ve included pictures of the poles before and after I fixed the springs.I’d probably still buy this kit again - I managed to fix the piles pretty easily, and the rest of the greenhouse appears to be as sturdy as all the others I’ve bought.Just watch your fingers!

Very easy to put together, sturdy when pinned down, good value.
No dislikes, I am using mine to put my more fragile plants in for the winter and then later in spring grow tomatoes. I personally think this is very good value.

Great
Easy to assemble. I planted 2 tomatoes and 2 cucumbers. All growing really well and better than those outside. So of course we will have crops much earlier (if not very soon) than those outside. The downside is that it has a flat roof which means that when it rains water stays on the roof and it collapses if there is water on it. Would not buy this again but would look for a different design with a non flat roof.

Good size and strong material.
Using to cover delicate potted plants over winter. Will use next spring/summer for tomatoes and peppers.
