HFGH 10 x 12 Playing in the traffic.

15 years ago

Although I have gleamed lots of info from this site for my HFGH this is my first post. Right now I'm looking for parts if anyone has any. Ran in to winds of 80mph over the weekend and lost some panels. They didn't go far the first time and were rescued. However, the second time someone lost them from the back of my truck and they were destroyed by traffic. I have e-mailed Harbor Freight and they are going to order for me. This forum says don't hold my breath. If anyone has any of the following please let me know.(#52 panel connectors qty 6) (#55 rear side panels qty 2) (#58 wall panels qty 2) (#63 front side panel qty 1) lost the right door as well but it never fit right from the start. Planned on building something for doors so not worried about them. Will send a pic of greenhouse with it's holes tomorrow. Thanks Ron

You need extra bags of clips, as well. We put about 3 times as many clips as called for. The clips strenghten the panels without making holes in what is a tenuous connection, in DH's humble opinion.

P.S. We've had some successes with ordering parts for other items from HO. Have patience.

Assembling HFGH 10x12 Panels to Wide??

Hi All, in addition to the hfgh lesson, I had to figure out how to get back to my own post, as this was my first on gardenweb. (Great community by the way). So, It is up! The issue was the little number stickers were on the wrong panels. I tried to put the 2 front panels on the sides. after trying 2 of them, I decided to try another, and it fit. Figuring out the mistake, I thought I was in business, Get those panels installed in 30 mintues, and enjoy a glass of sweet tea. Well, 3 hours later, i finally got the last of the panel clips in. I also had a bit of a twist in the whole frame that I couldn't see, but a diagional measurement showed it. I loosened most of the nuts and gave the whole gh a shove, it went square, and the roof panels went right in. I purchases my gh on Wednesday, Started installation on Saturday, and finished Sunday night. Spare parts kit was a lifesaver, im glad they include it. Reading the forums, i decided to mount it on 4x4's that works really good, because I wanted to move it forward a few feet, I just put an eyebolt in the front 4x4 and pulled it with the lawnmower, worked like a charm. Only complaint is the doors, I seen how some people were having issues keeping them closed, well i am having issues opening them. I have adjusted the top and bottom wheels, but they are still very hard to open, thinking of adding grease. More than likely, i will take them off, and build a regular frame and a glass storm door entry. This week, I hope to get all the pvc conduit ran, lights, possibly trench a line to run some water for a small sink. I am rambling, just typing as it comes to me, but I think I should put weed barrier down first, then the electrical conduit, then probably 1.5 to 1 tons of 1/2" gravel. One other thing, the automatic roof vent openers, I decided not to get them based on reviews, instead i think i will use some pneumatic cylinders i have laying around. All said and done, me complaining about having to buy $1.25 tomatoe will cost me about $1000. Got the GH for $480 with raincheck and 20% coupon. Thanks!

Hi funnylady, Yes, we did... The important word to note here is 'did' :-( Not sure if you have heard of the horrible wind storm the NW had a few months back.... Well it hit here with a vengeance. Normal high wind speeds of 15-20 mph (and that is a wind storm! Usually it's abt 0-3 mph) was clocked up the street at 84mph. Good new was.... Greenhouse frame still standing... other good news... I was able to locate all of the panels, even though several were abt 5-7 acres away behind our barn or some in the other direction out at the road ... Basically all went together well, (except we had planned on changing the doors to hinged rather than sliders) and we didn't get around to screwing the panels down (although they were double clipped). Overall the GH fared winter well... rain, snow and ice were no problem... but those horrific winds, well that was another story... We were without power for abt 3 days and friends had nineteen 100'+ Fir trees that came down (we were lucky, only branches everywhere) all our trees held their ground. Not sure any greenhouse could have withstood that windstorm, but had we screwed the panels in as planned we might have had even less damage.... Ah well.... BTW panels were all fine... are installed and screwed in now... don't want to tempt fate, but think it just might withstand that huge storm this time....

Door latch or lock for HFGH 10x12 sliding doors?
Q
Comments (38)
I don't have weatherstripping on the door panels but since aluminum is such a good conductor I covered my doors with the good bubble Insulation from Charlie's. Their is not room on the inside door needs to open so I put it on the outside. I live in Northern Indiana and it gets cold here so I have mine well insulated.

rjinga, I took some pics for ya to help out. first this is from the outside looking up to the back left side(right form the outside lol) of the PC panals the bolt heads are hiden behind the tape tho but you can see everythingis sitting flush This pic is from the inside looking up to the back left corner. as long as you put your bolt and nut on the top holes of part #49 an the top hole of the corner post befor you add side wall diagnial part #80 everything will fit nice. By the way I added both parts 79 and 80 to my corner post and it really stiffened up the frame where I din't have to worie about the winds 10 - 20 mph for the next 2 days before I could get back to working on it Here is the camera up tight to the back panal looking up to the gutter and part #80 to the left. On the right side of the corner post you can see my weatherstriping and how there is no buldge. If I had turned that nut and bolt arround like you have in your 4th and 5th pics then it would be sticking out past the PC panal. I hope this helped. JBa3Fan .....

Actually I removed all my clips from the roof, west and east walls. I used clear silicon caulking and it withstood 80 mph gusts on and off for 2 days with heavy rain. It's what I hadn't finished that did me in.............on the panels that blew out there was a min 8 clips per panel and some had more. A number of the clips are still attached to the frame.

I'm glad to know the prices for the panels...I never asked them what those would cost. Pretty reasonable. If only we could believe that shipping time (call me a pessimist!) If greenhouse owners weren't so at the mercy of the ever-encroaching cold weather, slow shipping wouldn't be such a deal breaker.

The line that worries me is "Please note, the part you are requesting will need to be special ordered from the Manufacture..." and, as we all know, the manufacturer is in China.

I can't believe Harbor Freight doesn't at least stock those teensy little panel connector clips (for the tall back wall panels) for quick shipment. They could store a year's worth in a shoe box, for goodness sake. Grrrr.

When I wanted parts I tried to get them to take parts from a GH kit and send them to me.
I told them that when they got the parts they could put them in and sell it.
They said we can not do that so I ordered the parts that were going to be here is 6 weeks.
I made the parts myself and finished the GH and forgot about my order.

About 18 months later UPS came with my parts they were the J clips that hold the studs to the bottom plate.

Gardenerwantabe,

That is how we got our parts we ended up at the store and demanded they take the parts out of a box. The store manager felt bad for us waiting so long he did it. A week later the parts showed up at the door. Oh and we had to pay for the parts even though they didnt include them in the box.

Barb....good grief!!! You had to PAY for the parts that were missing from your new kit? Even after waiting a year? That is totally ridiculous. I'm really astonished!

Now I'm wondering...Gardenerwantabe, did HF make you pay for the missing J clips (that arrived 18 months too late?)

I'm sure there is a contractor in the area that has a flashing bender. I could get them to bend some stock to duplicate the panel connectors. Just don't have the time right now. When I do though they will be at least 12 inches wide so if they ever pop off again they should be easy to find. Could even make the leading edges and inch or two for greater grip or resistance. How far off is Spring again?????
