I brought one of those about seven years ago, still going strong, tied it down properly, many storms later its still supplying us with our own veg, I'd buy another no problem
Trust me, that tarp is not high quality. I've seen my neighbor and mother have those fall apart on them. If you try to leave that up for even one summer, it's toast. It starts to fall apart pretty early on. All the little plastic squares pop out. You have to baby the things, but they do work. I got mine for 103 bucks 10x20. But I got it on Amazon, and I waited for a massive sale. My pipes are bigger. And there are extra supports. Mine survived storms that my neighbors didn't. She purchased one with pipes and supports like yours. So basically I tied it down, and surrounded the entire thing with stones. And before windy storms I would close it up, put stuff on the bottom of the door flaps, and go out and check it during the storm to make sure air isn't getting in. Then when the frosts were over, I pulled the tarp down, and stored it in the shed. I used the frame as trellis while the tarp was off, by buying nettings with large squares and tying it to the green house frame vertically. It worked good as a trellis so far as well. Now the cold is coming again. Soon I will put the tarp back on. Let's see if it survives another winter! It was worth well more then the 103 bucks so far.
main reason why i love buying second hand or used quality items. most of my boots clothes or furniture was 90% off or even free and old brand named stuff that used to be crazy expensive. satisfying every day to be walking around wearing $10 thrifted red wing steel toes that look brand new
You wouldnt be able to grow in the winter, but tie it down better, and pull the plastic wrap off in the snow. Im sure you could just cover the thing in visqueen after the wrap dies. Use a pvc pipe to prop up load bearing sections and you should be good
chinese cheap manufacturers expect you to do the last 20% of the work yourself. if you add some wooden stakes for support and for holding it down that tent might still do the job.
There's no such thing as a "Temu greenhouse" - they don't make anything, they SELL things. If you look at the site, you'll find a wide range of greenhouses under $300 and yours looks like the shittiest. I've bought lots of excellent quality stuff from Temu. It's all about putting in. the extra 20 minutes to sort through all they offer in one category and finding the best value.
I'm aware they're a market place. I mentioned that for certain things they're great, very happy with some tackle I purchased - this Vevor brand Greenhouse is garbage.
Agreed. Temu is excellent if you put the time in. I've ordered hundreds of things and paid very little in comparison to the cost in my home country. Use the basket to store items to allow the algorithm to show offers on said items. Use the discount cards and other promotions to find the very best deal. The best feature for me is the "price adjustment" in the orders section. When the item you have bought is lowered in price Temu gives you back the difference. Only yesterday I received back enough cash to buy 3 other items. This "green house" is not a green house, it's a Polly tunnel. Such should be used in a sheltered area as the nature of the construction creates uplift like a wing or parachute. IQ test failure. It's a shame our own countries don't offer these market place models as the only draw back is sending our money to China. My partner used to take the piss out of me for using Temu, that is until she saw how cheap the Nail art equipment was, now she uses Temu and save lots of Dosh.

Not surprised!

This is true - but the fact it requires so much tinkering to function properly is more reason to not purchase it!

I clicked on this video solely to say that you need to work on your thumbnail game (if you want more views)
I'll figure it out one day!
