We used many of the suggestions of other reviewers (from reviews of the 8×12 and other Weatherguard greenhouses on this site), including stabilizing the frame at all connection points with self-drilling screws. We did find that drilling pilot holes for the screws made the process much easier. Here’s another suggestion–when putting the frame together, use duct tape to temporarily hold the pieces in place until you get them all together. Otherwise, you are likely to get hit on the head by falling pieces. We made a foundation from Trex boards. We drilled holes in the foundation and anchored it to the ground with steel spikes purchased at a home improvement store, and then bolted the frame to the foundation. We had high winds last week and the greenhouse wasn’t damaged. Because of the poor directions, we installed the first two ratchets incorrectly, but fortunately, we figured out how to unlock them so we could put them on correctly. Other than the vague directions, I really don’t have any complaints. My plants are happy, and with the addition of a solar pool cover and some water barrels, I am looking forward to what little winter we have here, in zone 8. (I may also get a small greenhouse heater.)

I have just constructed my Weatherguard Greenhouse… the large one. The greenhouse is good – as described in terms of size, weight and benefits. I only have a couple of assembly tips for new buyers:
1) If you order the 12′, it comes with instructions for the 8′ – so be aware that you have more assemble pieces and have to include additional pieces to extend the size of the greenhouse (it’s not difficult, just be aware).
2) if you don’t know how to use ratchets, look it up online. It does not include instructions for how to hook up the ratchets and use them properly… we had to get help with this and would not have been able to do it without help from a friend who knows how ratchets work.
3) We used 4 people to assemble this because the structure falls apart easily until the plastic covering is on, but if you have someone on each end, holding the pieces in place while you work on putting it together, than it works ok. I would say you need a minimum of three people… then it goes together in under 2 hours.
Note: my assembly instructions are just ‘tips’. We’re VERY happy with the greenhouse and are already enjoying it!

It is not even six months old, and the plastic has ripped and needs replacing.

my Weatherguard 8×12 greenhouse arrived very quickly and was easilyerected, if you follow the directions (which could be made a bit better). After having built several of my own greenhouses and then spending days going over the directions it was easy for me to erect. While it did seem flimsly when I began erection, it quickly solidified and has become a very ridged structure. The ventalation system works very well in helping to keep it cool, but was not easy to make air tight for winter. I solved that problem by adding insulation in the form of a solar pool cover. By using lath and screws I was able to seal the vents shut for the winter by running the cover down onto the deck and screwing several laths to the deck. (I did place my greenhouse on a deck to keep it near the house for convience in the winter). The only problem I still haven’t solved (yet) is the gaps where the end panels meet the cover. A nice gap is left for wind to infiltrate. I hope to find some soft foam in white or very a light color to push in and fill the gap to keep the wind out. Over all it is an excelent greenhouse, and one I wish I had gotten years ago.
