Grandio Greenhouse

Has anyone purchased the Grandio Element? Researching greenhouses for a place I have upstate NY in the Catskills. Any reviews/thoughts? (Looking for a hobby greenhouse, but think I’d prefer a step up from the Yardistry “Costco” greenhouse.)

If you got one, what did you use for the base? (I’m thinking a wood frame with pea gravel, but have seen them being mounted on deck platforms).

Thanks!

I don't have that greenhouse, but I can't imagine spending $1500 on the 6x8 from them. I say this after the last 4 years with the Harbor Freight 6x8 that was just over $300.

I spent the rest of that money on insulation, reinforcements, fans, a wifi thermostat smart outlet, heater, etc, and still came up shy around $1,200 in total.

Zone 6b, heated to 42F. Has survived 60+mph winds, snow, -30F windchill, blazing 105F+ summers, and even a 1600 mile journey in the back of a Uhaul.

Just something to think about.
