This greenhouse appears to be built very well. For the average person assembly could be a little complicated. During assembly it would be advisable to read the instructions carefully. Read ahead a few pages for more clarity. Instructions are mostly pictures. Completed assembly in about two weeks from this message. I manage to completely assembly this greenhouse by myself. Much nicer than I thought and sturdy. Must have a good foundation to start with. Delivery was quick and arrived in perfect condition.

We are pleased with the house. We got two expansions for it and window and the thermal top window accessory for automating open and close. It is not difficult to build but sometimes the instructions jump back to add something you have to deconstruct a part to add. Study them well so you don’t have to go back too much. The finished house is sturdy and with the two anchor kits it’s s cute in its space. The expansion kits have a top window, something that is not clear when you purchase.

Transformation of space

It’s stood up to most of what the weather’s thrown at it, though I did reinforce it as a precaution against our area’s high winds

A Journey Worth Every Step

From assembly to daily maintenance, every step of my journey with the Essence Greenhouse has been rewarding. Seeing the fruits of my labor flourish is incredibly satisfying

Gutter System Learning Curve

The gutter system was a bit tricky to figure out initially, especially with collecting rainwater effectively. After some experimentation, it’s now a key feature of my gardening routine

Horrendous to put together.

Horrendous to put together. Very light weight. As you can’t put it together in one day, it moved and went out of place overnight, making the whole thing bend and break. I have nearly divorced because of the difficulty of this greenhouse. Way over complicated with terrible instructions.

This is the second Canopia that we assembled....

The first Canopia we assembled was from a friend who had a 8 X 16, and we used those parts for an 8 X 8, so we had some leftover parts. We did have to purchase some additional parts because some were missing/broken. All good though, Palram was VERY helpful when we ordered replacement parts. Our daughter loved our greenhouse, so we purchased a kit for her, so we had all new parts, properly labeled, etc. Some of the black end pieces were broken when we opened the box, although the box itself was not damaged. Fortunately, we had extra parts from #1 to use on #2. #1 has been up for 6 months, and is holding up well to wind. We just completed #2 over the weekend, so we'll see how it holds up. So far, so good.

Garden Oasis Realized

Transforming my backyard into a garden oasis was a dream come true with the Essence Greenhouse. Its spacious design and high ceilings make gardening a sheer joy.

Thriving plants all year round

Thanks to its weather-resistant features, I can garden year-round. The Essence Greenhouse has extended my growing season, bringing me joy even in the colder months

Door Alignment Fix

The doors didn’t align perfectly at first, making them hard to close. With guidance from support, I adjusted the hinges, and now they're functioning well

Weathering the Storm

After a severe storm, I noticed minor damage to a couple of panels. The warranty covered replacements, and I'm impressed with the company's commitment to satisfaction

Structural excellence

Transforming my backyard into a garden oasis was a dream come true with the Essence Greenhouse. Its spacious design and high ceilings make gardening a sheer joy

Don't waste your money on this greenhouse.

My greenhouse has been up less than one year, and the wind has already blown the roof off. The doors don't stay shut, I have to tie them shut. The vent doors have blown off several times until I tied them shut. Young plants will freeze inside with a spring frost even after a warm sunny day. And, the nuts keep working loose. This greenhouse has been a total headache, and demands constant upkeep. Would not purchase again.

Entry and Exit

The double doors are great for access, but they require a bit of effort to secure properly. A minor inconvenience, but worth noting for those considering this greenhouse

Year-round gardening

Focusing on the little details, like adjusting the vent windows or optimizing space, has made gardening in the Essence Greenhouse a true joy

Architectural beauty

Watching my plants thrive in the Essence Greenhouse has been a delight. The balance of temperature, humidity, and airflow makes for an ideal growing environment

Good, But Could Improve

While the Essence Greenhouse offers a lot, some customization options for shelving and storage would make it perfect. Still, it's a solid choice for most gardeners

Effortless Maintenance

Keeping the greenhouse in top condition has been easier than expected. It’s a small price to pay for the joy of gardening it brings

Satisfactory Durability

The frame and panels have held up against moderate weather. I'm curious to see how they fare over time, especially in extreme conditions

Backyard hero

There’s plenty of room to move around, though additional headroom would be appreciated for taller plants or shelves
