6 x 8 Kensington Classic Greenhouse kit? Any reviews, opinions?

14 years ago

My husband has been collecting stuff to build me a greenhouse with for a year now.. but due to health problems it's looking like that won't happen until late fall at the earliest.

So I'm debating getting the greenhouse kit from Costco to get me through until then.

Have any of you bought this kit? Any opinions on it? Is it worth the money or would I be better off to just wait until he gets a sturdier one built?

Sounds a bit small. Put up one that seems way too big and it might turn out to be just big enough.

A greenhouse is like a boat, aquarium, or a pond. No sooner than you get one, you'll want a bigger one.
Small greenhouses heat up quick and cool off fast. Plants dry up fast. The end result is a lot of dead plants.
Most end up as transparent storage sheds for garden tools, pots, and dead plants. Running one is a big time consuming commitment with the corresponding knowledge. If you really want one I'd wait for the biggest one you can get.
I guess I should ask, what will you be using it for?

I was more asking about the quality of the materials in this particular kit.

It's not that I have never had a greenhouse before :-) I just had to leave it behind when I moved and was looking for something to get me by while my husband puts off building the new one.
