HFGH 10x12 in sale $599

14 years ago

Just got the harbor freight ad yesterday front page has the 10x12 on sale for $200 off. Look around for the 20% coupon and thats a good deal. Sad thing is I need a new one after mine colasped under the 40 inches of snow we got.

I am curious whether your collapsed one had any of the reinforcements indicated on this site and elsewhere. I am just finishing the HFGH and did add most (not all) the sugested conduit reinforcement and extra hold-down clips. A recent storm rattled the panels pretty good and I am thinking of adding even more clips (I already added 130 to what was included.) The conduit did stiffen the structure a lot.

Hi everybody. I originally posted this message to mudhouse's blog, not knowing how to post it here. But, now I do! So, if anyone gets this message twice, lo siento mucho. Anyway, here it is: I have a question about possible corrosion on my new, unassembled HFGH 10x12. The gravel has arrived, the foundation timbers are in place, and I'm ready to build the greenhouse. But, before I begin, I wonder if someone can enlighten me on potential electrical contact corrosion where (mudhouse's) steel "L" brackets connect the EMT to the frame, where the hold-downs meet the steel base, and where the studs also meet the base. Should I somehow insulate these contact points, perhaps with rubber? Is there actually a problem at these spots? Thanks so much. masscactus - ready to build

I think that some would say it is easy and some will say it is difficult. It depends on your ability to build things. While we have a lot of posts about the HFGH very little info about other brands. I would guess that some of the others are not much easier to assemble. In my opinion the modifications to the 10x12 HFGH are not optional it is mandatory but after they are done it is and outstanding good buy. Only you can decide if it is for you or not. Would I buy another one ???? Given the choice of paying $500 for the HFGH and do some extra work on it or spend $3000.00 for something the same size I would buy the HFGH in a New York minute.

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.

A Guide to the Modifications of 10X12 HFGH

Good morning Jeymac, Iâve been happy with the solution of putting wood framing along the inside of the base channel. I do think it strengthens it somewhat (prevents the c-shaped channel from flexing as easily.) Also after years of living with the greenhouse, I think the bottom of that channel would have been a great catch place for bits of gravel, plant leaves, dust, bugs, and other greenhouse debris. Having the wood there makes it look cleaner, and it really does stay a bit cleaner too. Iâm sure my wood does not look as pristine as it did, years ago, after I slobbered water all over the benches, week in and week out. But I never notice it, back there under the benches. Neither my husband or I can recall what Gardenerwantabeâs base braces looked like, although I bet at the time we looked at those photos and considered that. We must have decided they were not critical, along with the wood we used, as we are both drawing a blank on what his braces were. I guess we are getting old? I donât really have any knowledge of anyone else using braces on their base to strengthen it, so I donât think itâs a deal breaker, but I do understand the wisdom of thinking through any options for adding strength as you go. I donât have a great source of larger photos for the details of joining two greenhouses together, although I try to watch for that on the web, since the question of joining two greenhouses comes up fairly often. There have been a few folks who have mentioned doing this on GardenWeb, but I donât think any have posted step by step close up shots. Funnylady has been super nice when we have emailed, and I hope she can give you more specific answers. If you folks do join two together, you might consider doing a thread on Gardenweb with the nitty gritty details of how you joined them....Iâll bet others would thank you, down the road! So many times, I find that everybody who builds one of these seems to find their own way for resolving some of these questions. I know we did, too; we researched everything we could ahead of time, but often ended up finding our own solution, based what seemed practical at that moment...what we could find in the garage to use...and/or what we could find in the aisles of Lowes. In other words, on most any of these modifications, youâll find there is more than one way to skin the cat...and the way you find may well be a better solution than what other folks have done. I didnât make any notes about the length of the bolts we used with the EMT, but since the EMT is Â¾â, weâre guessing maybe 1 Â¼â bolts. Just enough to slip through the drilled EMT and add a washer and nut. Best of luck with your build!

I think it might just be in the flyers they sent out. That is where I saw mine? I want a 6x8. Heard that better homes and gardens has the coupon for that. where do you live? I think the sale is good until the end of the month. I could mail you our flyer for the large one.

Thanks safaribabe, but we are leaving in an hr to pick up the 10x12. I called the store and he said the greenhouse is on sale for $649, we can also use the 20% off coupon. Wont be as cheap, but hey at least I am getting one.

Thanks for the offer anyway!

I am so excited to be getting the greenhouse, after being green with envy seeing all the fun everyone else is having with a greenhouse. Would like to get working on it soon, but we have lots of snow on the ground to melt firts. Then there will be the problem of a very wet area to work with.

Lots of work ahead but will be worth it. Hubby has been reading many of the great post on the assembly of the greenhouse. Thanks everyone else for all the updates and photos on the assembly!!!!!

I am almost positive that we will still have questions... :)

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-
