I just finished mine and suggest you take hints suggested on this site (and others if you Google HF Greenhouse.) Mandatory if you want it to go well: 1. level and square up the foundation many times as you go along. The long sides tend to buckle and twist as you assemble it so also check straightness (with a taunt string.) Buy or borrow an 8' ladder-you need it for the high work. 2. Order those extra clips early-they ship quickly and you absolutely need them. We ordered extra clips from Harbor Freight, 130 for $10.95, item no. 29457. TheyÂre not available online, and so far are not carried in our local store, so you have to call 1-800-444-3353.(shipping cost $7 and took one week for mine) 3. Plan on reinforcing the frame with EMT conduit-its cheap and adds a lot of stability. There are many suggested ways but belly-band the sides and the roof trusses. 4. Plan on reinforcing the header over the door-it sags and binds the door. I used 1" square alum tubing-got a 11' length for $18 at a local steel mill. 5. Do screw the plexiglas to the frames- I used galvanized screws with rubber reinforced washers. Most suggest stainless steel but I couldn't find them locally and couldn't find technical data (other then amature opinions) demanding stainless. 6. Do tape the edges of plexiglass with perforated tape from greenhouse vendors. I got mine installed before I realized that need, and will be removing and redoing panels all summer. Its quick and easy to do before installing-kick me. It keeps out bugs and slows the green mold along the edges. Do keep us informed as you proceed-I found the advise from others absolutely necessary to get mine up. By the way I did it 100% by myself and I am a healthy 70 year old-

Wind Damages HFGH
Q
Comments (30)
gardenerwantabe - I agree with your point. We built it on the driveway so we would have a flat surface near tools and power. The debate is now on as to the permanent location to which we will move it, which have been thrown into flux due to gato's wind issues. She wants it over in the corner where it will get direct (and sometimes very hot) sun - I am proposing a location between some trees where it will have some shelter from the wind, and a bit less direct sun. I won't install either the corner bracing, or any other enhancements such as angle aluminum across the doorway or 1/2 EMT across the mid-sections until we have the GH sitting on footings at a permanent location. Then I will add all of that to stiffen and secure the unit. 2 questions: We are in Mount Shasta, CA which is snow country (3500' elevation) and the snow can tend to be fairly wet and heavy. We had as much as 3' accumulation in some areas of the property over the past winter during some storms. Obviously I should remove snow from the roof if it accumulates like that, but I'm thinking about establishing some structural support along the roofline - either directly beneath the ridge, or adjacent to the #30 braces that are installed in the roof. Those supports would be probably be 2x4 or 2x6 lumber, supported by wood posts down to the ground. Does this seem a good idea, or unnecessary? In an earlier post, I raised the idea of setting the GH on top of 2x12 PT fir, so that it would sit on a footing like this: I see that you set your's on 4x4 PT. My thought is to raise the GH in this manner so that when snow is on the ground, at least the first foot of snow accumulation would be against the wood foundation. I realize this means a step up and over the threshold. Any thoughts on this? Does anyone believe that this amount of wood foundation, or possibly more, would help in terms of withstanding snow accumulation? Would the additional height raise any other issues concerning the effectiveness of the GH? Thanks, Greg

I saw this posting on the Macon craigslist and thought I'd share it with the group. THIS IS NOT MY AD, just one I saw and wanted to pass on. I have deleted the persons personal info, but if you get on craigslist (or just reply to the email address in the ad) you can see it all for yourself. 10ft. X 12ft. Greenhouse - $375 (Macon, Ga.) ----------------------------------------------------------- Reply to: sale-887157170@craigslist.org Date: 2008-10-20, 10:43PM EDT Have a 10' X 12' UV coated polycarbonate panel greenhouse for sale. It has 4 vents to ensure proper conditions for you plants. One vent has an automatic opener to open when temp is too hot or close when to cold. Two sliding doors give easy access. Metal foundation base for extra stability. Or can be mounted on concrete slab or wooden deck. I currently have it mounted on my back deck. It withstood the Mothers Day storm without a dent or one piece out of place. I have only used it for about a year, but am doing some remodeling and decided that I don't need it any longer. You can view this greenhouse harborfreight.com item number 93358-9vga. It will give you all the specs. The list (sale price) there is $799.99. There is NOTHING wrong with the one that I am selling, and believe me due to this one already being put together, you are saving a lot of time. It can be easily taken apart for moving and put back up with ease. The directions that came with it were a pain to figure out. Let me know if you need any more information you may call me at xxxxx or email d.hunter35@yahoo.com PLEASE call ONLY after 11:00 a.m. Thank you.

The 'search' function using "hfgh" should return plenty of hits.

Nonetheless, it sure is tempting every year when they put those coupons out...

I am in the process of building that HFGH 10 X 12. Frame is up, panels are going in when it stops raining. Many old forums about that greenhouse, but most are old and some pictures or references come back invalid. Is it time to make an up-to-date one? I paid $650 and consider that price aa steal!
Note the instruction booklet will drive you nuts, and has some mistakes corrected in forums-search on this site for HFGH and look at the photos!

Have not been able to assemble yet because of all the snow storms. Have everything in the barn laid out and have done alot of prep work taping panel edges etc.
Have the 4x4 frame in place and then storms hit.

I paid about $480 sale price and 20% coupon.

A couple of hints I didn't find elsewhere:

I loosly pre-assembled the back wall with two corner studs, the 79 and 80 diagonals, the two 31 horizontals and two 48 clips. It was quite easy to lift that wall into position using the 79Âs as arms and it balanced as I secured the corners.
The "extra" bolts loaded into the studs are a pain to keep out of the way when securing the bottom of each stud. They are in the way and the even wedge behind the diagonal braces. A piece of tape preventing them from sliding down helps. (I am a smoker and stuffed a cigarette butt into the slot.)
A large nail slipped under the bolt helps to locate the base bolt of each stud up off the foundation so it can match the clip hole. Fingers donÂt fit between stud and the clip.
Also-poster MUDHOUSE posted that extra clips are available from HF for $10.95 (plus it cost me $7 shipping part number 29457 order only by phone 1-800-444-3353. These are necessary to adequatly secure the lexan panels against winds.

I've had the HFGH for a couple years. Ignore the instructions that come with it as they are worthless. This greenhouse needs a bit of modifying but once it's done it's a nice little greenhouse. These were the best modifications/instructions that we found. Without the extra structural support this greenhouse would be a wreck after the first strong wind. A couple people I know that didn't add the extra support had severe damage after winds under 40 mph. Mine has withstood several strong storms.
