Palram - Canopia Glory Greenhouse

Great kit with quality parts and wonderful customer service. Make sure you clearly sort and label everything before you begin. Also have your foundation ready as it takes longer than you think. You should go to the Palram website and download the instruction manual before your order arrives and get prepared. For us, there was no way we could have put this kit up in half a day and we're still chuckling about that! We were stumped a couple of times, but customer service support from Palram easily helped us each time. It came out perfectly and I would easily give it five stars, but there are are a few things I would do differently on a Greenhouse of this quality and also . . . the kit instructions . . . a few extra words would have helped greatly instead of 99% photo instructions. Now on to planting!

Ordered the 8x8 greenhouse. Greenhouse shipped 10/8 and arrived 10/25. Received the 6x8. After a week of conversation with the company, a replacement was shipped 11/4 and received 11/15. During the shipping process, verified that the correct size was sent. Again received the 6x8. Contacted the company multiple times for resolution. They report that it is an incorrectly coded model number in the system and that I can either get a refund or wait indefinitely for a replacement. A very disappointing customer service experience.

First snow we had, the roof bowed we’re going to need to strengthen it somehow in the spring

Assembly is a challenge. Got to be patient. The product is very well made. The 10mm polycarbonate is the way to go. I can't imagine buying a greenhouse with a 4mm thickness. I think it is worth the extra money to get the Glory. No buyers remorse here...totally satisfied!

Assembly was so user friendly, price was competitive, look is very attractive, windows do exactly what was advertised. I'm over the moon about this fantastic unit and look forward to growing vegies in a coastal environment year round.

I ordered the Palram Glory 8' x 12' greenhouse on Jan 15th and received it on Feb 1st. I started assembling it from Feb 2nd and finished it yesterday. I put in couple of hrs every day . The assembling process is little complex and attention needs to be paid at every step to avoid rework. I started setting this up with Santa Ana winds blowing at 50 mph. The green house was getting pushed all over the place. The stays provided by Palram to hold the corner posts need to be stronger. They are so flimsy and got bent. The greenhouse though beautifully designed still gives you the impression of being fragile. I anchored the base to the concrete. Hopefully this will keep the greenhouse secured when it is very windy. The other thing I was concerned with was the screws provided for the vent openers. They are too tiny and I don't know when the vent opener will fall apart. Overall the greenhouse is a great addition to my backyard and I have my neighbours complimenting on the looks. I am very pleased with my purchase and hopefully this greenhouse will survive for long time to come. Highly recommend.

I am writing this as a pre-assembly revue as I can't start construction until the ground thaws, probably 2 months away worst case. The boxes were delivered in a timely fashion and upon opening for inspection I found little extra room for parts to move around making a safe package. Having assembled a harbor freight house previously, I can see similarity in the construction but the quality and strength of the framework is miles above in quality. the loads of pages of instructions are 98 % pictures and take a while to figure out what they are showing. There some special notes on the first page and I marked the appropriate build numbers with a big star to be sure to look for special notes on page 1. The powder coating is pleasing and even colored and the aluminum parts are substantial but light without burrs or overly sharp edges that were readily apparent so far. I chose this house for reasons of price discount, quality and shipping cost savings and think I saved a total of about 1K sales price and free shipping included. I also looked at stated snow and wind load as we have both here and feel comfortable that the house will withstand winters and summer storms.

The greenhouse was shipped in two boxes and arrived on schedule. Inventorying the many parts was easy because part numbers were labeled. One piece was bent in shipment so I called the help number and received hassle-free help in getting a replacement on the way. Assembly is advertised as 1/2 day for two people. That could be done if both were familiar with the processes and the parts were inventoried and staged. My wife and I assembled the greenhouse in 2 days. Instructions include 64 pages (each page a step) of diagrammed assembly and two pages of select step references (in each of 4 languages). There are very few written instructions, which makes the assembly a bit more challenging than if detailed tips and dialog were included in each step. However, the diagrams/drawings are in enough detail to make assembly understandable. Once we became familiar with the processes, it was rather easy. We are happy with the greenhouse. It is nice looking and sturdy. We ordered this model because it is almost 9 ft high at the ridge. We need the extra height because we winter some tall tropical plants.

After the 2 positive reviews I saw on this product, I decided to give it a try. As both other reviewers stated, it is a very detail intensive installation process. Not hard, but you have to be paying attention! After installing it, and anchoring it to concrete, it is a very solid and stable greenhouse. I have full confidence that this will not have any problems with wind (barring a tornado! I AM in Oklahoma). Very nice looking, as well. I had always heard horror stories of "kit greenhouses" being flimsy and falling apart, but this one is the exception! Very pleased!!!! Highly recommended!!!

Its not the easiest to put together read and take your time. And read the steps before and after that step and you to can figure it out. I had an 8x8 area already just needed to make 8x12 a MUST is to have it totally level b-4 you can put built green house on it. I am a 57 yr old women at only 5'6" and if I can do it then the average handy person should be able to also. I only needed another person for the end wall and the center support for the roof. Pros: strong and roomy Cons: Read instuctions over and over.I wish it were even more than the 10mm thick
