GK, how long have you had the Greenhouse?  Is it right on the ground or on a deck? How's it holding up?  Would ya buy it again?  

My wife runs to them every time we are in HF.

I put it up in March of last year so it's almost been a year.  I leveled off the ground and put in a stone patio.  I got the 6'x8' greenhouse and I do really like it.  It has held up to everything that's been thrown at it so far.  There were no issues with the 3' of snow we got last week.  I have it tied down with ratchet straps that are anchored to the patio it sits on, so wind hasnt been an issue either.

I have 2x8 planks sitting on 5 gal buckets for shelving instead of purchasing the metal ones that snap in.

it definiely does the job, the heat gets way up there, especially summer.  The vent/window opens up, but Im looking for a small solar fan to assist in moving the hot air out when it gets up over 90.

It seems to hold heat OK when it cools at night.  Not perfect, but much better than my plastic sheet greenhouse.  I put in a stone patio floor and I have buckets filled with water and spray painted black to try to assist with as much thermal mass as I can.

If I would change one thing, I would get a bigger one.  Get as big as you can afford, because you always end up wishing you had more space.
