Deleted my comment because you actually addressed my question at the end. Hopefully the tposts and fencing works for you. I'd go ahead and put that up before planting, honestly. Also having the drip will help you a great deal if you install it beforehand, because then you will know where you need to plant things if you're using a drip line. You can place the plant or seeds near the emitters. You guys really put in a lot of work to really make this substantial. Great job!

Mine was just delivered and I will be constructing it tomorrow. Since I have zero use for a greenhouse until next fall (summer temps can get 100+ around here) once I see how it looks with the cover on it, I will be pulling the cover right back off until around Oct. and using the frame (after adding some reinforcements) to trellis some gourds. The one you have now looks much more sturdy and the addition of the ridgeline (is that the right word? lol) support along the center of the top should help keep water from pooling on the top and causing the whole structure to fail. Before I clicked "buy" I read the reviews and the majority of the ones that failed in the first rain did so because of that design flaw allowing water to pool if the cover is a little loose.
@urbangardenerCB3 ай бұрын
I think it would do well with gourds. I grew tomatoes in mine last year after I was done using it for my seedlings, and it worked wonderful. This model is more sturdy for sure, im hopeful to get about 3 years out of it. Also, where we attached the plastic on with wood, it made the cover pretty tight, and the rain runs right off.

But if it does, the straping on the outside is held on by screws, so I could technically take it off if need be. 😊 www.aosom.ca/item/outsunny-20-x-10-walk-in-greenhouse-with-sprinkler-system-tunnel-green-house-with-wide-roll-up-door-12-mesh-windows~1LUR7ESO43001.html

I just ordered a very similar greenhouse and plan on doing modifications to it in order to reinforce it and make it worth the money. I have a lot of old t-posts and will be using them driven into the ground every other rib as the anchors and will have a wooden center rib the length of the ceiling held up by a couple of planks acting as pillars in the center of the structure. A lot of the reviews said how flimsy it is, but it was so cheap ($180 for a 10 / 26) I couldn't resist attempting to make it work. I built one with hard panels half the size for about 3 times the money only to have it destroyed by some 30+ mph sustained winds just before I put the finishing touches on it.

There are more common upgrades people do to these that bolster the frame with wood. This greenhouse only has two roof beams though so this is considered the old design of these cheap high tunnels. You want the upgraded ones with the three roof beams, and you want to use some 2x4s to beef up the ends. That would probably have stopped the shelves from getting knocked over as it would stop the whole frame from swaying. You can see the wood base bent in too, so this wood base was insufficient. I haven't finished putting up my greenhouse yet but I'm using 4x4s for the base and using longer pieces of wood on top of that to join them so that the wood frame itself wont flex so the greenhouse has a sturdy base. Unfortunately you really have to build these in one go if you want them to survive the first strong wind.
