Palram - Canopia Plant Inn™

I agree with other reviews that this item was complicated to build, but it was not impossible by any means. It took several hours to build and in three cases I needed a little assistance from my husband due to the size of moving the pieces. It goes together well and looks very good.Overall the products seems to be sturdy enough. Only time will tell. I did not particular like the thin plastic tray that is the liner for the plants. I enhanced the plastic with duct tape.

1. I cannot stress this enough. The manual says to use a 3/8" wrench. Try 10mm. Everything worked fine when I did, but NOTHING fit 3/8". Oh, and a ratchet is more useful than a wrench, if you have one.2. The thin plastic panels pop out rather easily, but they are remarkably strong despite appearances..3. The other reviewers that say the depth isn't deep enough are misunderstanding something.. The plastic bed is just that, a bed, a floor. You can fill dirt higher than the edge of it.4. While most parts were easy enough, the lack of text instructions was a bit confusing here and there, particularly where you put the first triangular pieces on..5. 2 of my parts had the holes in them misaligned and I had to drill new ones...Other thoughts:I will buy more, but am reluctant to buy on here, as the last seller just had Home Depot drop ship it to me.. Still, it's worth the money, negative experience aside. A bit daunting to assemble, think Paint By Number but with construction hah. At least MOST of the parts are numbered for you.

This took half of forever to build. My husband put it together last year. Disappointed that its more shallow than I thought it was gong to be. That dint stop my yellow pear tomato from taking over the entire thing. This year Im planting smarter, I hope. Tomatoes stay outside in pots. Will see how peppers, cucumbers, peas and beans do..... It overwintered well enough. Even through several NJ snowstorms... Will add pics and update on this growing season....

I love this tiny greenhouse. The time they estimated for putting it together, is correct. I put it up alone, and it took me twice the time, about 7 to 8 hours. Also, it might be beneficial to know that a pretty large area is needed for laying out the parts. As to it being wobbly or not fitting well, as I read in other reviews, I can see that it might happen if one doesn't follow the instructions to the letter. But if you take the time and put it together carefully, you should not have any problems. I am using this to start my seeds and will probably later get another one for creating a mini herb garden.We already had very strong winds and hail, and we had no problems.

Received the product with the wrong instruction manual, they sent instruction for the Martinique 4300. Downloaded assembly instructions for Crystal Clear Plant Inn. Not sure if it is the correct instructions because it's nomenclature is not Palram Plant Inn Raised Garden Bed yet it has all the same part numbers and the model HG3320 is no where to be found on it. If it is, I am missing different washers and screws. Part 413, 4021, 4016 (all six of each), 447 (10 out of the 32), 127 (4 each), 69 (4 each). Unfortunately, it shows a photo of the part but does not annotate the size and the photo is not the correct size either so I can't go to the Home Depot and pick up the washers and screws missing. I even went to them to see if their system could pull up the parts but they could not. They see the same thing I do on the instruction manual but no parts described and photos not to correct size. I left a voicemail with the company if I do not get satisfactory results on Monday I will be returning this.

Love these Green-houses. Purchased two to put on the back patio.Only complaint is that in the images it looks like the back of the greenhouse is clear.It is not. So my original idea for placement had to change.Building was a Breeze. 3 hour total build time for two units!!Simply layout all your pieces, read and follow instructions.Very sturdy. Once built, very light and easy to move around. Once soil has been placed inside very heavy and sturdy.Has held up great in two wind storms thus far.Each plant inn takes about 4 full bags of soil (4 cu.ft)... That's full. You can easily grow with less.Again I love these little "plant inns" I call them Green-houses. Everyone who sees them wants one immediately.After the veggies finish up for the season we're gonna try a Canna SCROG!

It took my on and off working on the assembly for a couple of weeks as I work plenty but once done it works perfectly. Directions are confusing and not labeled well, nor the parts. Some parts had the label number sticker some didn't. Don't use the hand tool for the actual raised bed portion as unless you're decently strong its not on tight enough to hold the weight of the bed and will slide down which is ridiculously annoying to re-align all four corners if it slides at all, use drill to tighten once you have it aligned to avoid it moving at all. The last part of building the doors that go up and down the railing on roof that you slide on that pivots when you open the door took me the longest, if you dont align it perfectly the door latch doesnt line up. This was terrible to build, worse than ikea furniture. Good item though I am happy with it, but the task of building was ridiculous. If you dont to each step perfectly and align everything right on point you're screwed. Four stars rather than 5 for product directions and assembly being so difficult.

Exactly as advertised - build instructions ok - extra bolts, nuts,screws provided.Pay attention to what is to be tightened and what not at various build points and everything can be maintained square & fitted.Added my own wheels on corners, a floor using 3/4 x 6" treated fence boards + stainless fasteners = $35 added cost.Floor makes unit very rigid, no prob to wheel around patio with full load of wet soil.After 2 weeks herbs tripled in size over days varying from 7 to 28C (approx 40 to 85F) (by the Lake Ontario, Mississauga, Canada)Actually decent looking addition to patio.Finally, no bending over to tend plants IS a major benefit.

Took a couple of hours to construct on my own but not difficult in any way. A lovely mini greenhouse raised to a height making all gardening work enjoyable. Survived the winter although lost a side panel from high winds, easy enough to replace at my leisure.
