I installed my Sungrow 20 greenhouse in 2024, and although it’s not my first greenhouse, it’s been quite the journey. After my husband passed away, I had trouble finding help to put it together. The instructions felt overwhelming, and I wish there was a setup crew or at least a simplified version—maybe a "for dummies" guide. Eventually, I found someone to help me assemble it, and we finished just before the snow hit.
Right now, the greenhouse holds a few hanging baskets, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and tomato starts, along with other seedlings I prepped for the planting season. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to get inside recently because the snow just keeps coming. Still, I managed to water everything before the first snowfall and I’m hopeful some of it survived our brutal -26°F temperatures and 5 feet of snow.
Despite the weather, the greenhouse has already proven to be incredibly sturdy, standing up to 50 mph winds and hail without issue. I've also added raised beds, which I plan to fill with carrots, beets, and other veggies as soon as the weather improves. I'm especially looking forward to finally growing crops without worrying about deer, elk, or antelope eating them.
Buying from Planta was simple and the customer service was excellent. I didn’t manage to install the extra window because we couldn’t figure it out, but overall, I’m impressed with the structure. I can't wait to see what survived the snow and start growing again when spring finally arrives.
