Reviews
Great little grow houseAnonymous reviewerI was worried about this product based on other review but it was by far and away the most attractive temporary green house I could find. Took a punt and it was well worth it. Easy to build and the cover went on fine. It's tight and needs two people (one to pull taught and one to fasten into place) but the whole thing was up and ready to go in 30 mins.
Cover is too smallAnonymous reviewerI love it, sturdy etc, but the cover is just too small, doesn't reach the bottom, I've made my hands really sore trying to stretch it to fit and its torn a hole in the side, so not fit for purpose, so gutted I was so excited about this and the photo doesn't show a tight fitting cover! like mine is 6" short at the sides, no amount of sand will hold that steady in a strong wind, it will just blow away.
Same experience re: coverAnonymous reviewerSadly must agree with many other reviewers. It took two of us an hour to wrestle the cover on to even get the front so as the zip came round the frame, never mind the seam. Another half hour of two people to stretch far enough to fasten even some of the velcro ties, which resulted in 3 seams almost splitting and one of the holes at the back popping out its plastic disc. The whole thing still 3 inches short of the base so no chance to tie those, the shortest of all the velcro tabs. With that gap around the bottom, last night's wind whipped straight under the gap and made it a lethal bundle of plastic and metal. Considering solution of buying 4 deck boards to create a ground frame then stapling cover to it from inside. It's very rare that IKEA disappoint, but this definitely needs a rethink on cover size, because otherwise I'd have been delighted with it
Almost perfect!Anonymous reviewerAfter reading the reviews I took the chance on this green house. It was easy ( relatively speaking) to assemble and we knew the cover would be tight so I didn’t stress about it. We put it on, waited a day, pulled it a bit more, and another day, adding sand in the pockets. After 4 days of letting the plastic relax it fitted pretty perfectly. The zip is the weak point, being quite hard to close as the two sides aren’t aligned properly. For the price I am very pleased. I have my seedlings and tomatoes already installed. I am guessing it will be good for 2-3 years, maybe more. Would I buy it again? Yes definitely , but would check the zip before putting the whole thing up!
The cover doesn’t fitAnonymous reviewerThe frame assembly was simple but the cover is too tight. It doesn’t cover the base and despite my best effort the door doesnt zip till the end, defeating the purpose of a green house. I am not sure if it comes under a defective product but will try raising it to see if i get a better fitting cover replacement.
Cover isn't greatAnonymous reviewerThe structure and construction is as I expect of ikea decent quality should last a little while. The cover is horrendous though, needs extra 3 to 5cm of cover added to the brim/base of it to actually cover it, and another 3 to 5 cm front to back to make it not be too tight the zipper is hard to use and not break. Think they penny pinched too much for the difference in sizes the result can be with poles and plastic connectors.
All good so farAnonymous reviewerInstructions were good and everything fitted together well although because the joints were quite tight (which is a good thing), I used a soft mallet to make sure the poles were completely inserted into the holes. We had a bit of wind yesterday and there was no movement (I have it tucked against a fence, the sand is in the pockets and I also put a couple of bags of sand onto the base poles. I would have liked the poles to be a little more substantial but given the price, I’m happy with this product.
Easy to setup but doesn't lastAnonymous reviewerNice idea, straightforward to construct but even when placed on a flat and even surface the frame at the front buckles slightly inwards, this is before you even place any items on the shelves. As for the cover, its a very tight fit, doesn't cover down the ground leaving a slight gap. There are tabs to secure the cover to the frame so it would indicate that it should cover fully. The zips get stuck and the pull has snapped off - its also very thin so doesn't seem fit for purpose. I ordered in August, a replacement was issued in October but the replacement cover zips have encountered the same issues - zip getting stuck and pull snapping off. The cover can't be replaced separately either, so not ideal for a long term greenhouse. The overall design for the cover and frame stability is in need of a rethink to improve this product to make it fit for purpose. Decided against a another replacement.
Ripped after first stormAnonymous reviewerAll seemed really good until the first storm of autumn. I had added extra tent pegs so it didn't blow away but the Cover ripped off around the base, so don't know how long it will last.
Not wind resistant!Anonymous reviewerArrived Monday, and I enjoyed putting it together and 'moving in'. Lovely shelter, and big enough to sit in and enjoy feeling cosy while it rained outside. Unfortunately, stormy weather arrived on Friday, with wind gusts over 50 mph. No amount of ingenuity could anchor this securely, and I ended up having to evacuate all the plants, pots, weights and water tanks under cover of darkness, and drag the now rather bent structure into my garage. A good effort, but needs multiple anchor points, and a stronger, preferably straight, zip.
Asparen greenhouseAnonymous reviewerThe base and shelves are easy to connect and sturdy. However, the plastic cover is a very very very tight fit and it is concerning if pulled too tight as the stitching starts to pull apart. It requires two people to get the cover on. We have not been able to apply all the velcro straps yet as the fit is too tight. We are hoping it will losen up.
Nice design but cover and zip issuesAnonymous reviewerOverall this polytunnel is quite nice. The frame is sturdy and feels solid once it’s up. I like that the cover has pockets you can fill with sand or gravel to help weigh it down.
The problem is the cover itself. It’s far too tight. Even with all the joints pushed properly into place, I had to pull it really hard to get the Velcro fastenings on, it’s almost impossible to manage on your own. Because of the strain, some of the seams have already started to rip, leaving small holes.
The zip on the door has also already broken. Some of the teeth don’t catch properly, so it’s difficult to fasten, and now it won’t zip up at all.
Great greenhouse Anonymous reviewerOverall a very good greenhouse, perfect for smaller gardens! A bit of a faff getting the cover on but it's a good snug fit. Would be amazing if there was an add on package to give more shelves to really make the most of the space!
Perfect for the smaller gardenAnonymous reviewerReally easy to put together although the cover is a bit tight on initial set up. Once up and allowed to stretch it fits perfectly. I love the built in shelf’s that seem more substantial than other material greenhouse. Lots of space inside for you to work in
Fabulous Greenhouse Anonymous reviewerFantastic size and the price is perfect. One improvement would be to make the rear window more like a tent window where it could be opened from the inside. Right now, it can only be opened from the outside which is awkward bordering on impossible, once the structure is affixed to a fence. It could also use another inch of fabric all round, as the covering is an incredibly tight fit - a small amount of additional give would be perfect. All said, though, it's a fabulous space!
AsparenAnonymous reviewerGreat self assembly greenhouse ideal for tomatoes and chillies.
Great style and spacious with all the shelving to get you started.Anonymous reviewerMy first greenhouse .
Really good quality Anonymous reviewerA bit of a faff assembling but went together well. I needed someone to help when getting the roof bits on. The staging is good. Will see how they are long term.
The only little issue we've got is trying to attach the cover to the bottom of the frame, hoping a bit of warm will help it stretch.
Would recommend
(I didn't measure before ordering & it's quite big so I'd check it'll fit in your space)
