Thank You !
I really don't suggest getting this type of frame. If you do buy this one, I would suggest reinforcing it with more metal because this type of greenhouse is very prone to getting destroyed by 55+mph winds unless you plan on putting your greenhouse against the side of your house.

The reason is because its pipes are simply too thin to support the size, and I have used this greenhouse before. I would suggest going to your local hardware store and purchasing PVC pipes along with greenhouse plastic to construct your own since the PVC pipes are much stronger. It may require more time, planning and some work, but I think building your own will pay off in the long run. You can also buy a greenhouse, but I would suggest getting one with a much better frame than the one that you posted.
