hf greenhouse

Looking at a hf greenhouse as our first. How big is the shipping box...can I fit it in my mini van with 4 seats in?

Thanks,

I think they're discussing the HF 6x8 size greenhouse in that thread, since someone says it weighs 75+ pounds. If you're considering the HF 10x12, our box measured 8'2" by 2'2" by 1'2", and weighed about 200 pounds.

We're putting up our HF 10x12 right now, and I'm documenting the steps as we go. If you're considering the 10x12 size, I have some basic info in the first section of my blog that might be helpful (scroll down to the bottom of the page to see the sections.) Best of luck!

Usually, when they are listed on sale at the HF web site, the local store in your city has a sale. I also signed up for the HF news letter. It comes in the mail every couple of weeks and lists sale items. It is on sale now. See the link below. Note that HF's new 10ft X 12ft greenhouse is also now on sale for $599.00. Good price IMHO. jack Here is a link that might be useful: HF $299 greenhouse link

STILL LOVE MY 2 10x12'S TOGETHER. Have 60+ orchids hanging from the roof, have had no problems with it. Even with the high winds from all the storms coming through Florida this year. I did take all of the orichids and set them on the floor just in cast we got hit. But only a few tree branches came down. Yes having doors on both ends is really great for venting. Right now I am making my benches deeper so I can get 1 more tray in depth on them. Need more room but don"t want to take a tree out to add another GH to what I have. (Also have the 2 smaller GH's that I use when I'm starting seeds. I think that I spend more time in the GH than I do in the regular house. LOVE IT.

Hi Brian; Sorry I didn't get a chance to answer your email earlier. Unfortunately I didn't take any pics of the joining or construction as I was assembling late in the year and didn't have time to take any under construction. I guess the best way to explain it is that I omitted the back wall of the new greenhouse and dilled new holes in the door wall of the old grenhouse and simply matched the pieces. That's about as clear as mud I know, but it's what i did. Sorry I couldn't explain it better. It's really an intuitive process. look over the pieces of the new house and match them to the old. I think Vamptoo(cindy) did this differently though so you might want to do a search on her username and see what you come up with. Best of Luck and I know you'll like it Dave Milwaukee DAve Milwaukee

How do they deliver a 200 lb box? I thought UPS had a limit on weight? We picked up our 6 by 8 HFGH with our van. The Rion was shipped in many boxes.

Good question...maybe they ship it by a freight company instead; the website doesn't say. We picked up our greenhouse at our local Harbor Freight store, in our pickup truck.

The 10x12 comes in a single large cardboard box, inside a rectangular lightweight steel cage, to protect it from damage. I saved the steel cage, put some big ceramic tiles on top, and I'm using it as a (rather plain) plant stand. :-)

HF contracts with various trucking companies to deliver heavy/oversized freight.

We picked up our 6 x 8 with our full sized pick up with no canopy on the back.
