- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 October 2020CHRISTOW Walk In Greenhouse With Shelves, Large Reinforced Green House With Tubular Steel Frame, 4 Shelf Heavy Duty Growhouse, 6ft 4in x 4ft 7in x 2ft 4in
I found this greenhouse difficult to put together. Maybe that’s because I followed the awful instructions. The manufacturers could have done a better job than they did with those blasted instructions.
In the description it says easy to put together in minutes. Well that was certainly not the case for me.
Unfortunately it took me a good couple of hours, but I guess that was out of frustration as I stopped a few times to calm my frayed nerves. By the time I figured out how to put it together I was knackered. That aside when I finally put it together it looked great.
Guess what! I had to take it apart as I had put it together in my sitting room due to the wet weather then had to take it half apart to get it out of my sitting room where I had put it together 😂 as the height and width made it difficult to manoeuvre.
Once it was in the garden I decided to use tape to stabilise the joints which by the way did not appear to be that sturdy to me even though I had put all the poles in the slots correctly. You shake it and it wobbles all over the place and even when full of plants you can still wobble it a bit.
Once I’d done that it was plain sailing putting on the cover (which seemed quite robust) the shelves, the anchors and the supports which I felt I needed to stabilise and secure the green house as it is rather light weight. I used some breeze blocks at the bottom to stabilise mine.
The zip for the green house initially seemed stiff, but after a few uses it has eased and is a lot easier to open and close the plastic doors now.
After deciding where I wanted to position it. I started filing it up with my plants. You can get a lot in there, but is just about accommodated my tomatoes plants on a table which fitted nicely in the green house as the plant and it’s stakes were too high for the shelves.
The shelves don’t have enough space for plants that will get tall and they are a bit flimsy for heavy pots of any description. My medium size clay pots Caused the shelves to sag so I had to put them on a breeze block on the floor.
The greenhouse is rather spacious and I’m very happy with it. I am still planning on reinforcing the seams as some reviewers have said that the cover can tear in high winds.
The door unzips and rolled up when you want it open. It can be fastened with ties that are attached to it. Quite straight forward.
My plants are very happy in three , but ensure that unless really cold that you roll open the plastic flap in the mornings to let some air in.
I’m currently super happy with it and hope I remain so. Also planning on getting another one if it holds out throughout the winter.
Value for money too!
I’d recommend when opening the packaging that you don’t just take the pokes out of the bags and have them all over the place (my mistake) each bag with the pokes have numbers that will help you to assemble the greenhouse. I used pink post it’s so I could clearly see which pole I needed to use.
I hope you found this review helpful
