OGrow® Compact Garden Cloche Seed-Starter, Plant Protector Greenhouse - Clear Cover

Simple for even one person to put together, looks like it's sturdy enough to do its job, and very lightweight! In fact, if it's a windy day, I recommend putting something heavy against each of the long sides (I used a gardening cart and a pot). But it really did look nicer than I expected. The plastic cover is a tight fit, but it does go mostly to the bottom. For the people complaining that it doesn't go ALL the way to the bottom, I have to say that this is not intended to be hermetically sealed — it's just a cover to protect your seedlings while they harden! If you need something that lets absolutely no air in, I recommend getting a hyperbaric chamber for your plants instead. But if you don't want to spend a lot and have simple home gardening needs, this is a really nice option!

This works incredibly well for starting seeds outside about a month before it's warm enough to plant them. It isn't enormous, but tall enough to put a couple small shelves in there if you need to. I purchased some stakes to help hold it to the ground because we live in a fairly windy area. My only complaint is that there aren't enough Velcro loops to attach it to the frame. I had to tape the bottoms around the bottom poles of the frame in order to make it stay all the way down. To me, that wasn't a big deal. The large zipper areas on both sides of the top are great for airflow as is the zippered opening on one side. It would be nice if both ends had that zipper, but it wasn't enough of an issue for me to mark it down. I'm fairly petite, and I can still reach every part of the green house with the openings that are built in.This is a great product that could use just a few minor tweaks, which is why I didn't mark it as five stars. I would recommend it to anyone who needs something like this. Just purchase some gorilla tape and stakes or landscaping staples to help keep it down on windy days.

Super easy setup. Had it setup out of the box in less than 20 mins. I would have given it 5 stars except for the issue that other people mention - they need to make the plastic longer. There are 1-2 inch gap on both sides. I’m going to take duck tape and seal it up - but it’s an easy fix if the manufacturer read reviews and just gave it another 2 inches of plastic. Other than that - it’s so easy to setup and great size for certain things. I have it on top on our patio table with this seasons seedlings. They are spending their first night outside the gap is in the greenhouse, so you will need to figure out a way to cover that. After that - it will be a great setup.

I needed something in which to start my seeds because my cat likes to top them off when they sprout. This was under 30 dollars and looked to do the trick.It failed terribly at keeping the cat out but because it is like a house for him he leaves the plants alone.This worked great for germination. The heat from my lights was held in by the plastic and really boosted the germination rate.The construction is solid for indoor use or even outside but it wouldn't hold up with any kind of winds. It is basically small pvc with a fairly heavy plastic covering. It was easy to put together and has been moved around my game room several times and held together.I knocked off one star just because I really doubt it could be used outside. As a covering for indoors to help plants germinate and keep them warm this product is tough to beat. My plants are ready to move to the garage to get some natural sun so I'll take it apart until it is time to plant my seeds next year.

I bought two of these Ogrow Ultra Deluxe Compact Outdoor Seed Starter Greenhouse Cloches in October 2015. I've only had them out for about two months. Mine are still outside and (even though it's still 63 degrees F on Christmas Day), the mini greenhouses protected my lettuce and onions during several 26 degree days! As a side comment, I was worried about mini greenhouses blowing away in a high wind. After looking at many tent pegs and hold-down anchors, I bought (on Amazon) a set of "50pc Fiskars #129 Yard & Garden 5" Hold-Down Anchor Stakes Rust-Proof ABS - Landscaping, Tubing, Hose, Plants". They fit the mini greenhouse frame tubing PERFECTLY...and they were a great price. I highly recommend them. I placed the assembled framework onto my raised beds and then used the Fiskars Anchor Stakes to secure them to the ground. Then, I installed the cover. We had a few really severe storms move through and the mini greenhouses are still right where I placed them. However, I think that it is REALLY important to make sure that the two zippers are fully closed before the storm arrives - so the wind goes around and over the greenhouse. If you leave the zipper(s) open and the wind gets INTO the greenhouse, I'm pretty sure that it WILL manage to blow away the greenhouse.

This is my first season using this greenhouse and so far I am very pleased with it. I use it on my deck, close to the house and it is perfect for eight potato plant bags. I may use it over my raised veggie beds another time. It is easy to assemble and very lightweight. I was concerned about it getting blown away on windy days, but for outside use it is better against the house or solid fencing. I tried small bungee cords, securing the frame to the deck railings, but it loosened the pipes from the connectors if the bungee cords were too tight---up against the house seems to work best. I don't like that the cover leaves a one to two inch opening at the bottom; it needs to be longer, but it hasn't caused any problems so far. We have had some very cold and wet days and nights this Spring and thanks to this greenhouse the potato plants are thriving now.

The tubular metal frame was easy to put together and the plastic covering was easy to put over the frame. I've used it to cover a raised bed and it was the right size. It's fairly robust and, as I have used plumbing pipe saddles to fasten it down to the raised bed walls. I think it would likely blow over/away otherwise. It is supplied with some tent pegs if placing on the ground.Oddly, the logo on mine is printed on the inside and the wrong way around which confused me at first when putting the cover on. If I have the logo on the outside, the velcro tabs used to fasten the cover onto the frame are on the outside too so won't work!The two zipped openers are OK to ensure the whole thing doesn't over heat. I'm using it to grow vegetables outdoors earlier than would otherwise be possible where I live.My one complaint is that, after only a few weeks, the plastic cover already has two holes in it - neither are at seams and I don't know what caused them but I have taped them up. I therefore don't know how durable the cover is or if replacement covers are available.I will remove the cover and put netting over the frame when the chance of frost has passed.

Don't make the same silly mistake that I did, I ordered this  oGrow OG4723-M Compact Outdoor Seed Starter Greenhouse Cloche with PE Protection Cover - Green  but cancelled as the delivery time was too long and rashly thought this was the same size it is much larger (My fault and not the reason for 3*)It is easy to assemble with all of the parts clearly labelled and once assembled the frame is nice and sturdy.The cover is a slightly different matter it is a nice strong plastic with zip openings and Velcro straps to hold the cover to the frame.BUTThere are not enough Velcro straps to hold the long side to the frame and the wind easily gets under the side and turns the whole thing over as it is light with a large surface area, Gorrila tape solved the problem  Gorilla Tape 1-inch Handy Roll  solved the problem coupled with a couple of bricks but should not be necessary. oGrow OG4723-M Compact Outdoor Seed Starter Greenhouse Cloche with PE Protection Cover - GreenGorilla Tape 1-inch Handy Roll

Not a bad product but it's really not wind resistant. I've pegged the frame down which is fine but the only thing that's holding the cover to the frame are 4 velcro straps on each corner vertical. This means when the wind blows, it lifts the cover as the velcro just slides up the poles. Its a pretty decent size and it's fairly solid. The seams had come apart in one place but nothing a bit of duct tape couldn't fix. All in all, It's not bad. If it was more secure and the seams weren't damaged I would have given it 5 stars. I would definitely recommend using gorilla tape to securely attach the cover to the frame.

I love this little thing! Perfect size and sturdy enough for my back garden, easy to.put together. I got another one from eBay supposed to be same size, but it was a lot smaller. I'll get another one of these for next summer

Hated it was as once assembled it was only thick clear polythene. Not with a green filter. Under these conditions any sun would 'fry' my seedlings or small plants. Also sent two despite ordering one. Am still waiting for a courier to collect.
