Palram Mythos - 6' x 8' - Forest Green - Walk-In Greenhouse

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. I have to admit I was dreading putting up this spring. But when it came time I was surprised by the engineering & precision of the pieces. Not thrilled about drilling into aluminum but that was fine too. We had a wind/rain storm two days after construction and it held up great, let's see how it does this winter. All in all I'm quite happy with this greenhouse.

This greenhouse is definitely a good product. The instruction manual includes pictures that are really bad quality and unclear. There are no written instructions, so overall, the manual is difficult to follow; adding additional time to put the greenhouse together.

This took 10 hours over a two day period to assemble. The instructions are pictorial with no written explanations. I bought the anchor kit and installed it as directed because I live in Wyoming and we do have wind. You need two people to hold parts together while assembly because even a slight breeze will destroy it before it is completely assembled. I was worried about the flimsy construction so I took extra precautions in anchoring the base securely and cables over the structure. Last night we had a 50 mile an hour wind gust and below you can see the twisted remains of this greenhouse. Note the base is still anchored to the ground and the anchor cables. In the product description is says it can withstand 50 mile an hour winds.

I have had this greenhouse up for a couple of weeks now and it has been great. The kit is easy enough to put together but it has to be on a level base and everything has to be squared. Once you start you have to keep going until all the polycarbonate panels are locked in or else even a light wind can blow it apart. Once everything is in place, it is very stable. Mine has already withstood gale force winds and my wife has seedlings growing in it even tho there was frost on the ground in the morning. It gets quite warm and humid in there even on cooler days. If you're looking for a greenhouse, this is the one to get! You can't beat the price and the size is all we really need.

pros: shipping was fast. Greenhouse looks great! cons: took a really long time to assemble. The instructions have no words, only pictures. NOTE OF ADVICE FOR ASSEMBLY. if you get to the point of having all the supports up, you cannot stop. you have to get the panels in or the supports will all fall over. AND..before moving on to the next step always reveiw the page you are on to ensure there are no extra nuts and bolts you need to put in. There are several times that if you miss, you will be taking things apart to get those screws in. things to improve-would be great to have screening on the roof window and the (optional, bought seperatly) louvered window. It really needs one panel that could house an exhaust fan. Highest temperature registered so far was 166 degrees celius. You will want to monitor temps and open door and window to circulate air.
