EAGLE PEAK 8x6 Portable Walk-in Greenhouse, Pop-up Indoor Outdoor Garden Green House, Zippered Doors and Windows, PE Cover, Green

I bought this to keep my carnivorous plants protected from midwestern storms in the summer and provide protection from subfreezing temperatures during winter dormancy. With this being a pop up greenhouse, I was concerned about its ability to stand up to high winds and have yet to test it against torrential rain. However, so far, it has proven to be surprisingly sturdy.At the time of writing this review, I had set up the greenhouse before those strong windstorms and tornadoes battered the midwestern and eastern states. I reinforced the stake and guy line loops with gorilla construction glue, used heavy duty stakes that screw into the ground for the lines, and put large stakes that I bought separately through the holes at the base of the legs. With the stakes that came with it, I used the loops to pin down the skirt. With all that prep, it was considerably more stable than expected and withstood 50-60 mph gusts with sustained winds around 30 mph. This is also a testament to the quality of the cover as there are no noticeable tears.The 6x8 is also a great size as it provides plenty of room for those who keep plants as a hobby and might also work well for growing seedlings year round. It’s tall enough that it’s easy to stand upright and work in, too.At this point, the plan is the further reinforce the seams with glue that’s actually meant for polyethylene and attach thicker guy lines with aluminum tensioners so they don’t slip. I also plan to use garden edging to create a shallow pit around it which I’ll fill with gravel to cover the skirt and floor which should also help with stability.Negatives so far: the cover had a rip about 6-8” long in one of the sewn seams near the door. Given that this was the only defect, I plan to glue it and let it go. Overall, it’s easy to set up but the cover can get caught in the sliding joints which will cause small tears, so make sure everything is properly positioned before expanding the frame. I also read that it is supposed to let 90% of light through but there is a very noticeable shadow inside the greenhouse so I’m skeptical of that claim. We’ll see if it’s enough for my sun-hungry carnivorous plants.Overall, you get what you pay for so I would choose this again over any greenhouse with plastic tubing. However, this logic continues in that you’ll get good stability out of this with care but it won’t be as sturdy as a permanent structure.Key takeaways:Pros: very sturdy and stable with some extra investment and care, tough PE cover, pleasantly surprised at how much room 6x8 actually is, arrived in mostly good condition with no missing pieces.Cons: had a small rip near the door and I’m skeptical about the claim that 90% of light gets through.I’m giving it 5 stars because I’m not sure I could do much better without investing in a more permanent structure.

I bought this to replace a similarly priced plastic greenhouse I had only really planned on lasting for a season.This one is dramatically nicer and sturdier. The green reinforcement of the plastic, the zippers are sturdy, the frame is essentially the same you get for a pop up awing, and the windows secure better.For what I paid I cannot imagine much better. The only downside at all is you'll likely need to figure out a shelving solution which I solved by just using the ones from the defunct replaced greenhouse.

Purchased with great hopes of growing veggies deer free. Put it in place a year ago, it survived the Michigan winter with cold and snow and even a large limb came down from neighbor's tree, cracked a picket on our privacy fence and hit one side of greenhouse. Pushed brace for that side back into place as best possible, husband re-adjusted the straps to stakes he had put in each corner and the little greenhouse is as good as new. It is tough.

Many complaints about collapse and wobbly. This is not the case if..1. Ensure provided anchors are used for both the tied downs on cables and inside the tent.2. Additional support can be provided by putting sandbags on the outside flaps including front door.3. Think about your floor. We put in a sprinkler system (tied to top bars) that turns this into a mud bath. We are going to be putting patio stones down in near future. This should also lower humidity.The humidity and air floor is the thing to watch for in warm climates.The only issue we are struggling

These have been very durable. I bought these almost 3 years ago to protect my wife's Gardenias. They green houses have made it through 2 winters, including snow, ice, and 20+ mph winds. The anchors provided did not hold up, so I bought weights. There were no tears in the fabric and the frame has lasted without breaking. When necessary I have brushed off the show and ice. Because these Gardenias can't survive below 19 degrees, I placed lights in them. These greenhouses kept the plants warn enough to survive the winter. I fertilize the plants in early March, while the houses are still up. By June, my wife has about 1,000 blooms on her plants. The plants bloom until November. We live in Virginia.
