Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Like others have stated, the poles are a joke and very easily bendable. Be careful if you use a screw gun to save time because you will bend your poles if you overtighten. Don’t use the written instructions or step-by-step pictures for assembly. The only think you need is the first pic at the top the has the numbers on it. Two of us put it together in a little over an hour. The stakes and rope that come with it will not be suitable for this application. We purchased 12” spiral tie down anchors (another $60-80) because we have very high winds. We ended up using the rope because I thought it would be fine, but we snapped a couple of pieces tying down so I’ll be replacing that soon. The anchors are at every point and holding well! Cross-crossed the rope over the top and tied down. Lastly, we put what broken bricks and blocks we had around the outside. I’ll need to get some more. The plastic is fantastic! Went on very easily and I love the double doors and zipper which will be very necessary for us to use come summer. The only improvement there would be is to add more Velcro at every cross section to help hold the plastic to the frame. Right now there is only Velcro at the ends. We reinforced the frame by adding an additional conduit header (I was floored how much stronger this was) and middle column support poles. I almost wish I had just purchased or made a pipe bender and made our own conduit frame and then just purchased the plastic cover from the company to go on it. Probably would be cheaper in the long run. We had moderate winds last night with gusts at 50 mph and that will be increasing tonight. This morning, the only thing that came loose is the doors had flapped out from under their bricks, so I’ll add more there. Otherwise, structure is good and strong, albeit creaky in the wind (you can hear it on the video I made). I’ll update if things change. Update 3/19/2022: They are still holding strong! We ended up purchasing thicker 3/8” rope to tie it down with as thinner rope snapped a few times on us probably due to UV damage. This one is working well and should last several years. The winds have been crazy!! We are in the high desert so we see winds. The plastic has seen some damage this year because of it flapping and rubbing against the metal bars. I’m hindsight, I wish I had reinforced some of those edges with tape. I plan to use some greenhouse tape to patch up the holes from rubbing and reinforce a couple of edges, but I suspect I can get another two years at least with this plastic. One more thing: do not open the zipper to the very very top. This caused it to slip off its tracks. It’s easily avoidable if you always leave about a half inch still zipped when you open/roll up the doors.
