I have read many of the blogs and shared them with DH. He is confident with a few conduit pipes for added support, and some foil tape to secure the panels in(The main complaints), we can rig up the HF greenhouse to at least to where it will stand sturdy and tall. And at that price, we can also afford to hire someone to help me construct it "right and tight" since DH will be of limited help. The polycarbonate is not double walled like the Palram.
Palram is all over Amazon and this model regularly sells for $1300 on there. There are features that I like better with the Palram but only one, really, the threshold is wan mower friendly. Since I plan to use it like a shed, and also wheel some large pots into it in the winter, an good threshold is a plus in my book. But is it work $250? And it is smaller.
And Yes
@Dave. That is still a good price on the HF. Actually better than the Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal. I looked. There is a 25% coupon which makes it worth almost $170, Shipping is about $100. OI'll try to find the link to the coupon for you. The box is about 8 feet X 24" x 24"l and weighs 200#. Too much for me to haul into the garage even if I COULD get it into the car. (I could with a big push!)
@Drdawg The ONLY reason I am even still considering the HF GH is the price difference and the size. For one 10'x 12" is hard to find The closest to that size is 8' x 12" running anywhere between $2-3000. Even if I added $1000 worth of material to the HF GH, which I won't I would still come way below the prices they have to offer out there.
Lots to think about.
