First
let me say we are quite pleased with and are enjoying the Greenhouse
we purchased through your Web site.
My experience
with your web site was quite good. There was one problem, which
your representative handled well. That was, your catalog information
indicated that the listed thermostat was for electric heater only,
when in fact it was required for the LP Gas Heater I ordered. This
required a few phone calls back and forth, but no real problems.
I might suggest
you add a little information to the various Greenhouse description
regarding suggested accessories like the heaters, exhaust fans and
shelves. When I selected these items I was guessing a little
about what they were, their value, potential operating costs, etc. More
information along these lines would make it easier to make the proper
decisions on what to order...
...Installation
of this particular Greenhouse model was straight forward and accomplished
quite easily. Installation of the LP Gas heater was just a
little more difficult and required purchase of additional piping
and exhaust vent materials. Information explaining the additional
requirements would have been nice to have ahead of time. I
would also suggest a kit be made
available with the exhaust vent and a suitable method of penetrating
the plastic sheet be made available with Gas heaters. A note
that gas piping should be installed by a plumber in accordance with
local codes should also be included ahead of time.

NOTE: thanks
to Mr. Valenta's input we have completely redone the way the heating
accessories are presented on the website. We have also put together
packages so that it is easy to get just what you need.
We are still
in the process of building our greenhouse, but we have reached a
milestone of getting everything on the outside done (before snow
flew!!!) - just benches, heating, electrical and water system left
to go on the inside. We have been working on it on weekends
and a few days off work now and then so it has taken us a little
longer than maybe it should. (Also hunting and fishing season
has interfered some - my daughter is an avid sportsperson!)
This has been
an adventure for us. My daughter and I are going to start a
small greenhouse business and this is our flagship building. We
have done much of the construction ourselves - with a little help
from husbands, but quite a bit by ourselves...
....We had a
spot that was already pretty level (a mobile home had been there
before) with some cement footing already in place that we were able
to tie into for the foundation (with cement blocks in between). There
was also a water hydrant and a power pole, so that saved us a little
bit of expense.
The greenhouse
arrived mostly in good shape. 2 of the roof supports were bent
in shipping. We called and new ones were sent right away with
no charge.
The instructions
that came with the greenhouse were fairly clear. We did have
some problems with some of it (another call ) but I think a
lot of that was our inexperience with building procedures. There
are some things we would do different, but right now are pretty
pleased with the structure. The idea of a kit appealed to us
because of our inexperience.
I don't know
yet if we would buy another kit, I think we would like one bigger
yet but for now this fit our budget. We wanted a greenhouse
with the PCSS (8 mm polycarbonate) siding which was one of the biggest
deciding factors in trying this kit. I won't be able to tell you
how we like it as far as growing plants for a few months yet.
I would recommend
this one to anyone that was building a backyard or hobby greenhouse. (Maybe
not this big).
The one thing
I know I would like to see changed is the door.
I think on the bigger greenhouse a wider door would be better. Everyone
at your company I have talked to has been very helpful.
It does seem
a little difficult to get hold of you by phone however.

NOTE: I totally
agree about the door, in fact I am hoping to build a 16x30 for myself
to use as a combination greenhouse/sunroom/hot tub gazebo and would
like the wider door myself - we will see what we can do about future
models
Also we have
just implemented the 24 hour toll free order system, added staffing
and the online help desk since we were starting to get a bit overwhelmed
with the volume of calls and emails.
