Based on my own experience with this product over the last two years, I am surprised that as many as 35% seem satisfied with it. like many other customers, I have found that: Assembly instructions are very poor The quality of materials is inadequate When assembled, it cannot withstand even a moderate wind The door and panels are blown off and need refitted The wire clips for securing the panels are dreadful The roof vent is poor etc... I know that £400 is not a lot to spend on a greenhouse but for that money, I still expect something a bit more robust that this. I will not be recovering and refitting any more panels as it isn't worth the bother. Instead it will be dismantled and dumped. It has turned out to be a pile of rickety, flimsy rubbish.

This cheap and nasty greenhouse came with poor assembly instructions and a complete lack of profile details to ensure you were fitting things the right way around. The polycarbonate panels were a nightmare to use due to the over-complicated fitting of trim edging pieces. I am a very experienced DIYer and offered to erect this greenhouse for my father in law. It's now taken 3 days to try to apply logic to where the instructions are wholly inadequate. Avoid this product at all costs.

We bought one of these because they appeared to be good value. How wrong we were, there were pieces missing and the whole construction process was a nightmare. The instruction booklet was appalling a complete waste of time. Erecting the frame took forever the door came without runners and was v. flimsy. When if came to glazing the problems only became worse. In all it took us 4 days and lots of expletives before it was finished. I have put up a greenhouse twice the size in 2 days without the hastle we experienced here.

Am half way into building this greenhouse despite the worst instruction sheet I have had the misfortune to encounter. Having discovered that the front two front apex sections are the same and should be opposites to form the apex I noted the customer services number on the instructions to use "in case of difficulties" which went to an answering machine. Left a message to ring me back. After several attempts to speak with someone without success I contacted their Marketing Section who said he would put me through to customer services. I told him that numerous messages had already been left and he said he would get someone to ring me back. After this too failed to illicit any response I contacted their Media Section and asked them whether anyone actually answered their Customer Service number. She responded that I must have experienced difficulties and she would take my details and get someone to call me back - guess what? I'm still waiting!

I bought a 6 X 4 Greenhouse 6 years ago. It wasn't easy to put together at all but my husband and i managed it. The first wind blew most of the panes out!!Some of them we never found again - heaven knows what happened to them. I complained to Gardman and they sent me 4 replacement panels. This time I siliconed them in and put extra glazing clips in them, but the next wind blew them out again and moved the greenhouse off it's base. The next time i cemented the base to the ground and re-silconed the panes in and put even more clips on, but instead the door blew off and the wind got inside and still took about 6 of the panes out, two of them completely disappeared. I have now given up with this utter pile of rubbish. My advice to anyone is don't buy it unless your are going to set it up indoors where there isn't a breath of wind. My garden is small and quite sheltered - not on the top of the hill or in an exposed position.

We purchased the greenhouse late in 2013. It was difficult to erect and parts were missing. Some parts did not have the holes pre drilled and we had to re order. It was very difficult to put together. The door did not fit well and has gaps around it. The first sign of wind blew over half of the panes out. We are lucky we retrieved most of them; goodness knows the damage or injury it could have caused. We got in touch with Gardman and they recommended we buy the glass clips from B&Q as they were of a better quality. I mentioned that the panes did not stand up to the weather at all well; they suggested we use clear silicone under the panes. It does not bode well when they do not have faith in their own product. We have not even used the greenhouse; it stands in our garden with missing panes. What is the point of putting new ones in when you know the next gust of wind is going to blow them out again. I am getting in touch with the Citizens Advice about the sale of goods act to find out where we stand with a refund as I strongly believe the greenhouse is being miss sold. I strongly believe the greenhouse is being miss sold. This item is not good value for money and I would suggest you stay clear of this greenhouse and invest in a better quality one, I truly wish we had.

this product should not be on market people are wasting good money on a greenhouse that will not stand up to any sort of strong wind panels must be blowing all over the country and could do someone damage a totally useless product dont waste your money

After assembling which took a while! (Instructions were not very clear!) some parts didnt have the required pre drilled holes and had to purchase better bolts as many of them snapped.The opening roof vent is very flimsy and poor fitting. Then had to purchase more clips to keep the panels in as slightest bit of wind they fly away! And have now siliconed all the panels in now with large rocks propped up against the sides and still the wind pops the panels out. Would never buy one of these again ever! Would recommend you spend that little but extra on a decent make!

What a waste of money. It didn't last a year. I was so stressed in the winter months as every time it got windy many of the panels would blow out. The door went flying past our patio windows one evening. It was reasonably straight forward to build, it took me a day for the frame and a day for the glazing. I had to replace the door wheels after 3 months and ended up have having to secure the window with parcel tape. It has now gone to the dump after a year and I have replaced it with a Rhino.

I have had to replace some of the panels 4 times now following strong winds. The door keeps blowing off. In order to try and stop the panels from blowing out, I have placed beading in every panel, 3 in each but I am not convinced that that is the answer so I have sent for a tarpaulin to cover the whole lot. The bottom line is. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. Pay the extra cash and buy a good quality greenhouse.

This greenhouse should be taken off the market. It's a joke! A struggle to erect with cheap screws and fittings and then even after a complete reinforcing exercise, it is totally mangled at the first sign of strong winds. We spent a lot of time on the foundation and money for extra clips, glue etc. We even crossbar red strips of wood on all sides. As I said, complete rubbish. Do not buy!

To make a long story short, it is too late for us to return this product, so we are going to do the final wall

terrible product. Instuctions aren't that easy to follow and I had to make my own additions in order to bolt the frame to the base - I expected this to be standard on a greenhouse?. In terms of the panes, the fixings are awful and when the wind picks up, they blow out!! Again, I have had to add some extra supporting bars to hold these in. For the money (+£300), this product is rubbish and I wouldn't recommend that anyone buys one!!!

Gardman Greenhouse. I got the smaller version as a birthday present. Firstly it was very complicated to build, it took my brother and my friend the best part of 2 days to construct it. There are parts in the box that are not mentioned anywhere in the instructions, and all 3 of us are reasonably practical blokes, my brother being a motorcycle mechanic for example. It was also missing several metal clips and a plastic runner for the base of a panel. The build quality is awful. A good few of the metal frame pieces were bent and had to be hammered out into shape. The nuts and bolts are made of really cheap metal, one of which sheared off while tightening. The frame and the base didn’t fit together well at all. There was a gap over a few inches between the door and the frame, which slanted from the bottom. The panels don’t fit very well in the frame. It wasn’t at all water proof or wind proof once completed. It even had tent pegs, for which you are supposed to secure it to the ground with. It was up for 3 days and after the wind last night I came down in the morning to find it in pieces all over the garden. Honestly I’ve not seen anything designed so badly in a long, long time. If you buy a product, you shouldn’t have to then go round bodging it together with sealant and your own nuts and bolts. Absolute awful product. I just hope I can get a refund.

Bought B & Q polycarbonate greenhouse nightmare! Took it back after spending a week sellotaping it together to stop the wind taking the panels away. Don't buy one structure is fine but putting the panels in with the grey strips to keep them in place is not easy and if the wind gets up they pop out any way. Now back to the green covered walk in greenhouse.
