Palram - Canopia Oasis 7 Ft. x 8 Ft. Hexagon Greenhouse Kit Hobby DIY Walk In Green House Heavy Duty Polycarbonate with Aluminium Frame, with Lockable Door and Vent for Garden, Gutter, Backyard

When the Palram Oasis arrived at my home, I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical. The box was not large or heavy and so I was thinking "great, this is not good." It took me four days to complete the greenhouse, just because I took my time. As it began coming together, the better I liked it and was being reassured it was a sturdy greenhouse that will live up to my expectations, my local weather, and so on. It has the capability of being secured to the ground, in my case, I built a little deck for it -- now I will secure it to the deck with screws. It's very nice looking and I am very much looking forward to using it all year. My only send off to you is PAY ATTENTION TO THE INSTRUCTIONS. There are no written instructions, just visual directions.

Assembly was actually really fun, my husband enjoyed putting it together and then when I helped with the top portion, I enjoyed it too! Like a 3D puzzle. The picture is the day after we set it up! Got it done in the nick of time! Since that picture, we have had 2 frosts but no worries, we added a heater and a fan to keep the temperature regulated inside. We have really been enjoying our little greenhouse!

Vertical panels will not stay in slots; tend to pop out. The extremely flexible panels aren't properly manufactured to lock into the upright metal supports. The metal pieces themselves are OK. I paid topdollar for this kit and am very disappointed. If I can't get satisfaction from seller I'll end up wrapping the darn thing with vinyl to make sure it doesn't fall apart! Was really looking forward to completing it and liked the hex design; too bad. If get positive response from seller will submit another review.Update: I remain firm about the difficulty of construction. You are better off with two people for most of it because it requires a little main force and more than two hands to compress the panels together enough for the top cross pieces to be installed. I have only the roof left to do but see that it should go swiftly as everything finally got aligned. It is a nice design. If I have unforseen problems with what remains I may revise this revision; not to glib, ha! For now I will say that I am satisfied. As to the panels, it would be probably better if there two panels for each single with a metal crosspiece between. That would easily resist the tendency of panels to "fall" out of the upright slots and strengthen the unit.

We have the 10’x12’ model. Overall I would say that I’m pleased with the purchase, but here are some things to consider:- cost: paid $3000, it’s pretty expensive for the materials provided, but we were willing to pay for the aesthetic which is nice. Looks good in person.- materials: the plastic is mostly pretty thin except for the roof, it does let a lot of light in and the views inside are really beautiful.- assembly: the assembly was really easy for 75%, but the roof is an absolute monster. Had to cut some of the roof pieces that wouldn’t fit, the plastic end caps near the gutters are the worst designed pieces and make that pet a nightmare. Be patient.- customer service: non existent. I called Palram during business hours three times, left messages, no response.

We have strong winds where I live. I had my doubts about the panels holding up. Yes they passed the test in the storm. Relief! We also anchored the structure down by screwing it to the wooden patio.It doesn’t prevent the cold temperature from dropping in freezing weather. I lined the floor with thick rubber square pavers. Then I lined the inside with bubble wrap. I bought an oil filled radiant space heater and placed it on concrete pavers in the middle of the greenhouse. When the outside temperature dropped to 16 degrees the greenhouse temperature was 39 degrees . My plants are beautiful!2022Two years later. Everything is holding up. The heating bill was expensive and I closed down the greenhouse for the winter. Now I start my seeds in my laundry room then put the sprouted plants in the greenhouse when the weather is warm enough for the plants.

Started to assemble but as we un packed and started to put together, we got to see how cheap the parts were. The clear molded panels are a laugher. ( about the thickness of a credit card at most) I'm sure it would of strengthened up if we fully assembled it but just my initial look at how unit was made, we decided to just repack it and return. Amazon accepted return with zero issues. Not worth the cost of item for what it was once the box was opened.

Love this greenhouse...easy to put up..(.maybe because we already have a palram 6x8 greenhouse this one is easier.) Only parts missing on either greenhouse were two screws. Used two left from the first greenhouse. It looks great.. instructions are great and easy to follow and no reading long drawn out instructions

I purchased this item and have yet to finish it now sitting in the yard for 3 weeks. I still have not heard back from their supposed customer service line whom I can only hope will send me my ROOF so I can finish it! I have called and left voicemails more than 3 times. Why bother? I am just going to order a new one and return this incomplete junk greenhouse. Which by the way, measures much smaller than they give as dimensions. MUCH SMALLER. Do not bother to get a Palram this is the third greenhouse I have had that came incomplete or were so flimsy a small breeze could knock them down.
