I'll preface this by say I have no affiliation with Horrible Freight.

I received a sale flyer from Harbor Freight with their 10X12 alum. greenhouse on sale for $799, that is what I paid for mine in the fall of 2009. At that time they accepted a 20% off coupon and my before tax price was around $550.

I am very satisfied with this and have grown a ton of plants in it over the past year.

The ad I have is for in store purchase so I don't know if this is good for internet or phone.

I'll try an post a pic of mine, wish me luck!!!
Hopefully 2nd time is a charm.

I spent a lot of time lusting over those greenhouses! In the end snow load, and wind scared me off. Now I've got my bus stop/greenhouse project going. You can be sure that thing will not blow away!!! Would love to hear what you have grown in there...

as much as I would've loved the big one, I bought the 6'x8' size for only $256 from Harbour Freight.

I am going into year number four with mine, live in upstate New York, and have never had a problem with snow load or wind. Today, trees and power lines were falling on the street, and the fire department had the street blocked. My greenhouse, however, is just fine.;)

Not too long after I erected this I had some panels blow out. I ordered another pack of clips from HF, installed them, and no problems since.

Just about everything I grew in the garden I started in the greenhouse, even corn!!! By my estimate there were about 500 plants started. Lots of flowers also.

The one thing that comes to mind I didn't use it for was okra, as well as a lot of what was started in there was also direct seeded so they could be picked after the first planting pooped out.

I still have asparagus, onions (garlic, leeks, ect) out there along with strawberry plants, lemon tree and some decorative grasses.

This is a pic of some strawberry plants that were planted as bare root stock, last spring, I wish I had a pic of those pots now they cover both those pots and have produced over 100 more plants.

Here are a few that I bought as young plants, with blooms, that started making berries before I got them in the garden.

This pic is very early last spring with a few plants getting a good head start on the season.

lesa, I would love to have your setup, I wouldn't do much to it except add a door and set it where I could use it. I'd make a pea gravel floor, some tables, put some shelves on the walls and use it.
