Review: Nice Greenhouse...Time Will Tell - Ordered the Rion Grand Gardener 2 8'x16' Twin-Wall Opaque greenhouse. Took 3.5 weeks to deliver. The instruction manual is all photos, no instructions. My advice is start from the back of the manual and work towards the front of the manual. I did this to make the greenhouse very secure from high winds: 1. I modified the roof so the 3 vents would be secure by adding 2 2.5" (modified) metal hinges to each vent (photo below showing roof vent hinge bolt from the inside), which I bolted to the hinge frame. 2. I also screwed 1 2.5" metal roofing screw (with rubber seals) in the middle of the rails that hold the panels onto the roof, as the flimsy pvc connectors were sure to detach in strong winds, because that's all that holds the roof panels onto the roof. 3. I also used 4 2.5" screws to hold down the 4-point caps onto the roof, and 3 2.5" screws on the 3-point end caps on the roof. 4. I attached the frame to treated 4x4 beams with 3" dry-wall screws, then hammered 6 2' pieces of rebar (1-3/4' deep) at angels on the outside of the base (3 on each side), then attached them to the 4x4's with clamps, then placed huge rocks all along the outside of the base to hold down the greenhouse and to make it unmovable. We'll see if this greenhouse holds up, as we had 50mph winds 4 days ago, and it's snowing for the 3rd time this winter, and it's only October. UPDATE: It's now July 2020, and at 8,500' and lots of snow, the greenhouse held up very well during the winter. I used a snowrake to remove snow on the top. We had strong 60mph winds days ago & the vents are very secure with the addition of the vent metal hinges that I added. Greenhouse is very secure with no movements whatsoever, with the addition of the 6 rebar rods, the 4x4 base, and a ton of large rocks around the base. The flimsly vent channel that holds the vents onto the roof will not hold up in high winds because the channel will flex slightly and the winds will blow them off. No problems here. UPDATE: All polycarbonate panels are pre-cut to the correct size. Do NOT cut any of the panels or they will not fit correctly and the winds will blow them out. UPDATE: I built and installed 2 pollen-proof exhaust fan vent boxes and 3 pollen-proof roof vent boxes to keep pollen out of the greenhouse. Works very well, as we had no contamination this year. I also replaced the manual plastic vent openers with automatic metal vent openers. UPDATE: Vent Hinges. National Hardware N127-365 V280 2-Inch Light Strap Hinges_Zinc-plated_2-pack (These are the hinges I used/modified). the hinges must be bent to fit outside of vent box and outside of vent box container (for a custom fit), then drill holes into vent box and vent box container, then bolt together with bolts, nuts, washers and lock washers. Be sure to CENTER vent box BEFORE drilling holes in vent box container OR vents will not open/close properly. UPDATE: 04/2021. Greenhouse survived the 2020-2021 winter just fine. Fully intact (thanks to my extra efforts to make it so) with no problems whatsoever. I like this greenhouse so much that a friend is buying one (their second greenhouse). They are making the improvements above to secure the greenhouse. Someone here had a Rion just like mine, but they obviously assembled it without making that extra effort to keep it intact, and the winds totally destroyed it. Live and learn. UPDATE: 05/28/2023. Greenhouse is still solid & secure, no problems whatsoever. UPDATE: 05/01/2024. Greenhouse is still 100% secure & solid as this is our 6th year using it. The 50-60-70mph winds blow right by it, no movement whatsoever. For those having the wind blow the vent windows out, you MUST use hinges to secure the windows to the frame box & use screws on the top to keep everything intact.
Review: Great Greenhouse but not perfectly engineered. - I ordered the 8x12 and it arrived in 4 boxes - one for the front 2 foot section, one for the back 2 foot section and 2 for the middle 4 foot section. Be warned: there are close to 1,000 pieces in these boxes. But don't be put off by that, most of them are very small connectors to hold the joints of the larger pieces together. It took me about 20 hours to put this greenhouse together by myself. Here are my thoughts about that process and the pros and cons I experienced: As I said above the boxes contain the pieces to specific areas of the greenhouse so it will help to have plenty of room to arrange these boxes accordingly. The instructions are are virtually wordless, pictures articulate the assembly process, and are specific to the smaller 8x8 greenhouse, so quantities need to be increased when gathering the required parts for larger structures. Just keep that in mind as you proceed. As with any instructional set primarily done with pictures pay very close attention to the orientation of the pieces during construction. Each of these individual pieces has a label attached with a part # for easy reference and assembly. They are also water resistant so don't worry if you are putting this together in the rain (as I did), they will stay on and still be readable. VERY IMPORTANT: The greenhouse I purchased was the 8x12 model. However, IT IS NOT 8x12. I made the assumption that I could lay the foundation prior to the arrival and assembly of the greenhouse. This was a mistake as the actually foundation measurements of the greenhouse were several inches beyond that both length and width. As with any product of this nature (i.e., somewhat flimsy), the foundation is the key. So I recommend you NOT set this greenhouse directly on the ground, rather buy enough 4x4 treated lumber to form the foundation and level these out perfectly and squarely. Then, using 8 inch long galvanized screws with washers, fasten the corners to hold this foundation together. Inside for the floor use whatever you desire. I used 16" square red pavers with enough space in between for pea gravel for drainage. Of course you'll want this space to be as level as possible if you do something similar. But I digress. The reason I opted for 4x4 treated lumber is so that I could have a strong and fairly heavy foundation to screw the bottom rails of the greenhouse down to. Each two foot section of the greenhouse foundation has holes for exactly this purpose and you can use 3 inch decking screws, they'll work perfectly. Construction is pretty simple and straightforward. Gathering the required pieces from the various boxes can be tedious. But they go together well and are engineered so that once it is fully assembled the structure will provide adequate strength. I live in a fairly windy area, but the placement of my greenhouse (near the corner of a fence) will provide additional protections. What does give me concern are the clear side panels of the greenhouse. They are flimsy and are only held in place via slots in the structures of the walls. The greenhouse did come with a rubber seal that is supposed to go around each of these clear wall panels to further provide keeping them in place and increased protection from the cold (I assume?), but I have yet been able to install these with any success and for now they lay in a bundle on the floor in the greenhouse until I can come up with a solution. This is without a doubt one of the poorly designed elements of the greenhouse. The doors of the greenhouse is another poorly designed element - at least how to secure the second (french door) if you desire to only use the single door. This door uses two fence gate style slide latches mounted vertically. One at the top of the door and one at the bottom of the door. However, they are woefully designed and to get them to function properly is going to require some creative engineering on my part. Last element of failure on the part of the engineers that designed this greenhouse: they were thoughtful enough to provide a cabling system (4 of them in my 8x12 greenhouse) to hang hanging baskets from. Great idea! Poorly executed. I'm pretty handy, but it is impossible to install these cables as designed. I was able to partially install them so as to make use of them, but I'm not confident with it so I won't be putting too much weight on them. Overall, I am pleased with the greenhouse. And it's going to provide several years of growing pleasure in my backyard. The design issues that I've mentioned aside, it's a quality product that otherwise seems very well thought out and implemented. Would I buy it again for what I paid? Good question. Probably. But knowing of these design faults I would suggest that they lower the price of the greenhouse by about $200. Either that, or go back to engineering and fix these issues. UPDATE 03/25/2022: The greenhouse still stands and it still in great shape. It has survived winters with a foot of snow on the roof. I would recommend removing that much snow as soon as possible, as I could see stress on the structure. But it did hold it until I could sweep it off. Would I buy it again? Yes.

A: RION Green House 8’ x 16’

My wife loves the greenhouse, but it does have some problem areas.    

I hired a landscaping company to help with the foundation and to assemble the greenhouse.  Thank goodness….

The unit took us 2.5 days with 3 people to assemble.  A day was spent preparing the foundation.  Having taller stronger young people helps as the assembly is 6+’ feet in the roof areas but we did use 6’ step ladders a lot.  The greenhouse is installed in a terrace area with exposure to prevailing winds which have blown open windows and doors, and blown off the roof window vent panels several times, and bent part 989 (686).  Try to aim the door end away from the winds…
 
For the foundation we installed landscape stones 3 high to match existing walls.  We dug shallow footers and filled with crusher run and compacted.  At the four corners and in the middle of the two 16’ walls we dug deeper holes and poured concrete with threaded rods.  The rods extended through the stone and through a 2x12 TRT on the top that made the base.  The 2x12 gave us wiggle room to get the unit perfectly square.  The green house was screwed to the 2x12 with deck 3” screws at all joints.
The only problem with this design is it makes a 10” high door sill to step over when entering the greenhouse.  We may add ramps.

As someone mentioned the greenhouse is larger than 8’ x 16’ by several inches.  We pre-assembled the base and measured.
Note… the little wooden tools provided, work great, use them setting & removing pins, and installing panels.

Some plastic panels did require a lot of pressure to get installed in place.  Especially the triangles over the doors, and the roof ridge panels… most frustrating.

The roof assembly was difficult to assemble.  We would get one section assembled, then when working on the next one it would cause the previous section to come apart…  we finally started doing several steps of the instructions (steps – 43-55) for a section, from one side to the other and this helped.

We made the floor of crusher run to absorb spilled water, and it seems to keep the humidity up.
We bought tables with wire shelves at Lowes to place around the perimeter ($80 each at Lowes).

We replaced the slide locks with Lowes Slide Action Bolt 87680 01777 9 from National Hardware.  These worked great, heavy and long.  You have to drill the plate provided (7215,7216 or 7218) with the green house with an additional hole and turn one screw around to get clearance for the slide latch.  I put 2 on the fixed door (top & bottom) inside and one on the normal door at bottom outside.  The outside bottom slide bolt catches in the 2x12 in a hole we drilled.  We had to drill some holes in the plastic vertical pieces of the door to mount the new Slide Bolt and it was difficult drilling a straight hole through oval framing.

Not sure what to do with the roof window vent panels.  The little bendy extension part that holds 989 needs to be closer together.  The windows have been holding for several months in a position of open about 6”.
I cut some very short pieces of rubber tubing and slipped over the bendy pieces, restricting the back & forth movement of the window, which I think may have helped.  We’ll see…

Two of the ridge caps won’t stay on, tried silicon caulk but strong winds keep blowing off…  after 3rd try they are holding…

Note:  we do live on a large lake with strong winds but no hail...  other than the roof windows all seems to hange together.

More later on….

### ⭐ Less sturdy than I could have possibly imagined
*by S***. on April 21, 2022*

The plastic frame is cheap, and just of poor, poor quality. After 5 months I'm still trying to figure out how to brace it so that I'm not terrified that it will be destroyed by the slightest breeze. Honestly, the best case scenario might be that a tree falls on it so that my insurance will cover the cost, and I can just throw the damn thing out. Unimpressed on every level.
