We have a 8x12 Grandio Ascent which is about $1699 right now. I love it! It's well-made and it's rather roomy with enough headroom and lots of room for adding extras. I got it about 14 months ago and usually have a shade cloth draped over it because it can get really hot in there in the spring. I also think this helps to maintain the wall panels which are 6 mm Twin wall panels. Here are a few pictures of the build and how it looks now. I had a professionally done glass One when I lived in New York, was crazy expensive but I still love looking at the pictures. This one rocks too!

Wow, that's beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

I'm looking at the Grandio Ascent 8x12 for my backyard and looking for as much feedback as I can before purchasing. I am noticing that the AZ-1 braces don't appear to be installed. Was that your choice to leave them off? If so, can I ask why?

Costco is selling an 8' X 12" Palram for $1200 delivered, and it looks like it gets rather good reviews: Palram 8 X 12

When I looked, there were 48 reviews, and 47 of them were either 4 or 5 stars.

As for shelving, I bought a couple of heavy duty, chrome plated wire shelving units at Costco for my greenhouse. They have been selling these for years in the warehouse for about $80-90. For that you get a unit that is 6' tall and has 6 shelves, but you can also make two 3' tall units out of it. The shelves are 18" deep and 4' wide and they are the perfect size for trays. You can get four standard trays on a shelf, so one of these units can handle 24 trays. I've had these in my greenhouse for 8 years and there is only a trace of rust in a couple of places as the chrome plating offers good protection from moisture. I'll add a picture here when I get a chance.

After almost three years, I still adore my Grandio greenhouse. We live in Charleston SC and it made it through the recent hurricane with NO issues. It's a very sturdy, well made greenhouse. The panels are still clear, no discoloration and I have no complaints what's so ever.

Take a look at my little blog for lots of pictures :>)

I said I would add a picture to my Nov. 13 post above, but the edit function is gone, so here is a picture of the wire-chrome Costco shelves that I have in my greenhouse. Each set of three shelves is one-half of the shelving unit:

Phyllis- hope you'll see this. Loved the pictures of your Grandio and love that you love it! I'm getting the Elite this spring. Can you tell me if you used the earth anchors for your gh? Did you buy thru Grandio or another outlet? Grandio gives a choice of wood, concrete or earth anchors but I see that others like Amazon & Home Depot don't. Have seen so many that have concrete foundations, wood decks, but few just set on the ground as yours seems to be. If so do you get drafts in the winter from below or does yours rest pretty tight? Thanks for your help.
