We've been wanting a greenhouse for years and we came across this one, we jumped on the chance to make that dream come true. I did a fair amount of prep work to the site, prior to putting up the greenhouse. Removed the sod, leveled the soil, put down landscape fabric (bought from Vevor), built a 4x4 foundation to attach the greenhouse frame to, and secured the frame to that foundation with some clamps I found at Lowe's. Putting up the greenhouse was relatively simple and straightforward, but it definitely was a 2 person job, could have used a 3rd person once or twice during the process, but we substituted those extra hands by using sawhorses to brace things up as we went along. The cover comes with 4 ties to attach it to the frame, and they suggest you dig a trench and backfill over the bottom flaps with the dirt from those trenches. We went a step further and secured the plastic cover to the 4x4 foundation with firing strips, topped with cement pavers and larger river stone. Overkill, maybe, but we live in mid-Michigan, and the winds often are in the 20+ mph range. In fact, we had similar winds only 2 days after we finished installing the greenhouse and it came through with flying colors. Can't thank you enough for offering this greenhouse, and we've tossed around the idea of getting a second one, but not until next Spring as Winter will be the true test.
