Has anyone got a Janco Greenhouse? Interested in feedback.

Or maybe someone could recommend one to me or provide feedback on what I've seen so far. Wanting approx. 8x12 (must be under 100 sq ft to not require permit in my city), in Oklahoma, where we have high winds (had 65 mph this summer in one storm) and hail occasionally. Prefer to stay in the $2K-6K depending on looks, what's included, R factor, etc. I want to start seeds, grow cold weather crops in cold season, and overwinter some citrus trees and tropical hibiscus. I really want something that will withstand occasional winds in my area, so wind gust factor is one of my main concerns.

I am considering the Janco Palmetto, BC Cottage, Monticello Mojave, Arcadia Glasshouse, Sunglo, and Grow More 8 x 11. The Grow More is the cheapest of the bunch at $1899 with a 10MM polycarbonate, and a 70 mph wind rating, is China made, but they are out of stock until at least April/May of next year. The Janco Palmetto is only 8 x 10 but can be bought for $3000 + shipping, with glass or 8mm polycarbonate, and a 90mph wind rating. The Monticello Mojave has a bronze tinted roof which is supposed to help keep it cool in summer, so I thought that was appealing. The Arcadia Glasshouse looks great too, 105mph wind rating, also has bronze roof, but is quite pricey as is the BC greenhouse which I have wanted for years and just realized their polycarbonate is only 6mm, which I don't really think is adequate. The Sunglo looks strong but that style is not the most appealing to me.

I'd appreciate any input or feedback on these or other recommended models. Thanks so much.
