Customer Reviews for CANOPIA by PALRAM Harmony 6 ft. x 4 ft. Silver/Clear DIY Greenhouse Kit

Directions weren't the greatest. Try to watch instructional videos. Advice: read entire instructions before building. The are some sections that can be assembled in advance. Make sure it is not a breezy day. Purchase the automatic vent and strap-down kits. Overall, it took about 16 hours to assemble.

Delivered to my neighbor, oops. Built a wood deck. Building is difficult in more than a light wind. Anchored with tie down straps waiting on their anchor kit, but a bad storm blew it down. Ugh. Canopia good on warranty, replaced damaged parts for rebuild, though many parts on long backorder. Moved to more protected spot and rebuilt with their anchor kit. Lasted longer but blew over again. Now I have to pay shipping on metal parts, over $100! Not happy, I don't know if I'll rebuild.

Assembly took about five hours for me and one or two helpers (recommended). It came on two large boxes and all the parts were packed properly. Everything is labeled and the instruction book has 66 assembly steps in pictorial form. If you study the diagrams carefully and lay out all the parts before you begin there should be no problems assembling it correctly. The finish is good overall and everything fits together well. Waiting to see if the thin plastic panels withstand wind and weather.

Sad to say we are having a wind/rain storm. We have had worse storms and it just blew over. I think will prob be unfixable considering the flimsiness of all the parts. Really disappointed. Don’t spend your hard earned money like I did. Read reviews. Believe them! Lots of read flags in the reviews but thought it wouldn’t be this bad.

I purchased this greenhouse kit about three years ago and have had no issues with it. The packaging was fine when it was delivered. I was able to decipher the instructions and build it myself. It does not have a base, so I had to have my husband build one for me. If you live in a very windy area, a base attachment is absolutely necessary. I empty it out and clean it twice a year to be sure dirt and hard water buildup does not ruin the plastic walls.

The greenhouse kit is obviously not properly packaged for shipment. The greenhouse came with 4 broken plastic pieces and 2 bent metal pieces. Obvious shipping damage. Local Home Depot store says I have to box this monstrosity back up and ship it back and reorder. The link for customer service/damaged parts in the assembly instructions (both the QR code and the website name) go to an orphaned website that is currently for sale. Amost impossible to assemble without all the parts.

Parts don’t line up, the vent doesn’t shut and doesn’t really attach at top. Have to figure out something for the winter. It will likely work in SoCal but no way in a cold region. But just bought it to start some stuff early, now I wish I would have just built some cold frames. Plus lots of air leaks .

I purchased this green house on sale and felt at the time I was getting a great deal. I was very wrong. After just one season, a windstorm completely destroyed it. I contacted the manufacturer via email to inquire about a replacement. No response. It ya very flimsy. Definitely not worth the money.

This project was challenging with the instructions provided. Hopefully it will hold up. It’s a nice little greenhouse. We didn’t get the louvered window or top window in today and shelves will be added also on another day.

My partner purchased this greenhouse for me for Xmas, thinking I would build in Spring. I immediately went to planning! I purchased a greenhouse heater, some solar lights and a solar panel system for charging electronics and a brighter bulb at night. The plastic windows are wonderful, I highly recommend purchasing insulating tape in 1” wide for any small gaps. I’m starting more plants! Skip the $$$ shelves and buy small shelving units instead. The Canopia clips are a great investment also!

Purchased this unit and it took me 2 weekends to assemble it. Instructions were a pain because it did have words just pictures only. It wasn't clearly if the photo was left, right or inside, outside. I built a mobile foundation so I am able to move it around the yard plus it will make it easy to move in the future. Overall, I like it so does the wife so not it is time to utilize it.

The greenhouse frame broke apart during the first storm. I hired a contractor to assemble with me so I can confident in the build. Unfortunately, the materials are cheap and not strong enough to support the structure under any stress. Have attempted to reach Home Depot customer service with no success.

I have been wanting a greenhouse for years and am so glad I ordered this one. Directions were easy to follow. Definitely need 2 people to put this together. Hubby and I worked on it over a few days. Gets sturdier and sturdier as you assemble. Definitely worth then .

We have really been enjoying this greenhouse. Assembly was fairly easy and it seems solid enough. I modified it by adding an AC Infinity 6" vent system and controller and a louvered air intake and exhaust and some shelving.

When we opened the box, I had doubts if this was going to be easy to build and sturdy. Pleasantly surprised as the manual was great and took us 4 hours. I absolutely love the finished product and definitely sturdy. Great value! Will do our own customized shelving and bench.

First time greenhouse user, love it so far plus you can expand it. We will see if it survives the winter.

Good quality

Sturdy little green house. if you follow the instructions its easy to put together. i would recommend it.

Very happy with final product. Was able to assemble in a few hours, sturdy construction, everything really well labeled.

I was able to put this together by myself in around 6 hrs. The instructions are easy to follow and the design is well engineered. I didn’t have it in time for the spring planting season but am pretty confident that it will be a great for starting my seeds next year and extending my colder weather veggies.

Cute greenhouse, but it took over 5 hours to put it together! Many, many pieces! Hope it holds up!

Loving the greenhouse. The instructions were horrible. Just the right size for a small vegetable garden and work space.

took me several days 4 to build to put it together it was just me with two people maybe a day it's a nice 6 by 8 Greenhouse you must take your time so everything fits together good not bad for the price. We shall see how long it will last within a year or two but for right now it's pretty good the only thing that needs to improve is the instructions I learned to be an engineer or architecture to figure things out but the instructions could be a little bit more clearly explained that's my opinion otherwise I'm happy with it from Milwaukee Wisconsin

If you want to make this greenhouse work, you’re going to have to spend A LOT of money. I’ve put over a 1k extra into this greenhouse but I can’t get the temperature controlled. Even on a 60 degree day, the temp is at 110. I bought the louve window, automatic openers, spraying the pebble floor every 10 min to try and keep the heat down. It’s impossible to keep up with. It’s even in partial shade already. I guess it does what it’s supposed to do but in order to not cook my plants, I have to tend to it every 15-30 min. So much wasted money.

At first I was a bit apprehensive when I opened the box and saw all the parts and the rather hefty book of instructions, but then I realized this was engineered by freaking geniuses. If you follow the instructions and pay attention you can have this assembled in approx 4 hours and it is extremely durable! Do yourself a favor and get an additional window that opens as you will want that for cross air flow. Also, get the additional shelves you can purchase. I went with 8 shelves and they are very handy.

My 6' x 6' Palram greenhouse is beautiful, sturdy, and better than I expected. The polycarbonate is clear as glass and the shelves fit perfectly and allow sun to shine below. My vegetables are thriving. This greenhouse was very well designed. The only slightly negative aspect was that we had a little trouble with the assembly instructions. But overall it is an excellent product and it was a pleasure dealing with Home Depot.

I think the people who had an issue with it falling down probably didn’t do a very good job putting it together. I mean... if you live in a location with more severe weather, you should probably try and make it more secure to the ground - the green house is less than a hundred pounds, people. I live in Southern California and still, I created my own base out of lumber and then screwed the base of the greenhouse to the lumber. The greenhouse comes with holes in it’s base for this exact purpose... :) Also try and use a power tool as much as you can can. Speeds up the process and makes sure everything’s super tight and sturdy. My boyfriend and I put this together over the course of about 6-7 hours. The manual is pretty annoying - it can sometimes take a minute to figure out what you have to do next, but we figured it out! And some of the pieces did have bended edges. It was simple to enough straighten the handful of pieces with a few hits of a hammer. But she’s a beauty! So glad I got this despite what others said in these reviews.

Delivery was prompt and well packaged. Detailed pictures of assembly and well thought out design. No missing parts, in fact, some extras were included in case of loss. Met expectations.

Once I got the hang of it the assembly went better than I expected
