The greenhouse looks stunning in my backyard, truly a sight to behold. I opted for the 12x8 size with the work table, and the quality is exceptional. Even amidst a 60-mile-per-hour windstorm, it stood firm on the concrete slab I had it placed on. Though the vent windows sustained some damage, thankfully they were repairable. My carpenter managed to assemble it in just 1.5 days without needing any assistance. I couldn't be happier with my purchase, although I do regret not opting for a larger unit initially.
The assembly process went smoothly despite the many pieces, taking up most of the day. However, it wasn't difficult to put together. The finished structure looks great and has proven sturdy against strong winds experienced over the next two days. I'm excited about the prospects of growing healthy veggies and flowers this year.
This looks like a good product. I am a gardener not an engineer. Follow the graphic directions (about 50 pages, step by step) carefully, use patience and when a fit is bad, stick with it and it all comes together.
I got a heater and it increases the inside temp from 13-23 degrees F, when outside temps are 35-55 F. It looks promising for seeds and cuttings, maybe reading a book and watching things grow.
The greenhouse was delivered with all components clearly labeled for assembly. With the help of another person, we set it up easily and swiftly. Since then, I've been using it to successfully grow both my summer and winter seeds. Additionally, it has been an ideal spot to overwinter my potted fuchsias. Moreover, it adds a stylish touch to the garden!
After exploring numerous greenhouse options, this particular one stands out as the optimal choice for our needs. It boasts effortless assembly, top-notch quality, and the added advantage of adaptability to accommodate future changes in requirements.
Simple assembly instructions and durable construction, perfect for enduring harsh winter conditions like the recent string of heavy snowstorms.
The greenhouse kit arrived in excellent condition! We'll have more to share once we've assembled it, but thus far, the experience has been incredibly seamless.
Hello,
I need to write a special thank you to Dive To Garden for giving me Melinda Rivas as specialist for assembly and your personal "heads up" to use Melinda...
I am so grateful to have had a business schedule me and give me a detailed estimate w clear directions in a timely manner. Even in good times, this quality of service on just these points was uncommon.
Then the team showed up ...they exhibited a level of organization, knowledge, enthusiasm, teamwork and competence that it still fills me w amazement. I am a nurse and an attorney and I have an extensive background in risk management and quality improvement and this crew was a real life "DREAM TEAM". A very,very rare find...
Thank you for this beautiful experience.
Love and blessings,
Marlene O'Neill
The greenhouse is fantastic! Last weekend, my husband constructed a complete wooden deck for it. It was a full-day endeavor, requiring the effort of 2-4 people. Despite knowing about a back-ordered part, we managed to complete the project. Now, we just need to replace one of the door panels.
I'm truly grateful for having the greenhouse. Though assembling it posed a challenge, the sense of accomplishment upon completion was immense. Planting seeds proved fruitful, with radishes sprouting within 3 days and cucumbers following suit within a week. Now, everything is thriving with vigor, and the greenhouse has garnered numerous compliments. Kudos for this wonderful addition!
We opted for the Planta Sungrow 20 primarily for its durability, a crucial factor given the heavy snowfall typical of northern Wisconsin. Its design clearly mitigates snow accumulation, addressing our concern effectively. Having owned the greenhouse for just five months, we're already enamored with it! Anticipating the joy of providing loved ones with fresh tomatoes and broccoli come October and November brings us great excitement. This space also offers ample opportunities for relaxation and contemplation, adding another layer of enjoyment to the experience.
The assembly diagrams presented some ambiguity, but our main concern was the need for extra internal height. To address this, we opted for a raised foundation during mounting. Generally satisfied with the outcome, although there's a need for further adjustment to achieve a better fit between the door and the window.
Just finished assembling everything. The instructional videos were incredibly clear and useful. I set up a raised bed on the sunny south side and installed four metal water barrels with a convenient workbench on top, all on the shaded north side. Excited to kick off gardening season with a head start this year!
This would have gotten 5 stars. After taking the wrapping off and unpacking the pallet I noticed that I received some damaged panels. I sent pictures to the seller 3 weeks ago, have not heard anything back and still have not received new panels from the Sigma extention poly box. The hardware is great but I hope the damaged panels will work and not leak water.
Thank you for your feedback with 5 stars of sigma 26. Firstly, I would like to extend my sincere apologies for the delay in the replacement process for your panels. I understand the inconvenience this may have caused you, and I truly appreciate your patience and understanding throughout this matter.
Upon thorough investigation, we encountered a slight delay in gathering the necessary information regarding the quantity of panels required for the replacement process. Please accept our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience this delay may have caused you.
Rest assured, your satisfaction is our utmost priority, and we are committed to resolving this issue promptly. The replacement was successfully processed and the reference number was message to you privately. We will send separate email once tracking number is available.
Once again, I apologize for any inconvenience this delay may have caused you and triggered 2 star reviews. Your continued patience and cooperation are greatly appreciated.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to us should you have any further questions or concerns. We are here to assist you in any way possible.

Despite being 73 and 84 years old, respectively, my husband and I managed to assemble the greenhouse with minimal difficulties, though it did take us a week instead of the anticipated half day. Following that, my husband constructed two birdhouses, each adorned with a decorative ridge grill spanning the length of the roof. Needless to say, we are absolutely delighted with the outcome!
This is my second Palram greenhouse. At my previous residence, I had the Balance greenhouse, and my only regret was not opting for a larger size. So, when we relocated, I went for the Americana! I managed to assemble it entirely on my own over two days, despite being a 5 foot 8 woman. Inside, I've created raised beds and a cozy sitting area, and now my kids and I spend time there every day! The greenhouse is incredibly sturdy and spacious, and unlike my previous model, the supports don't obstruct the space. I even added two louver windows, and automatic vent openers have proven to be indispensable. If only I could share pictures here to show how wonderful it looks!
Despite the challenging assembly, my greenhouse has been a winter savior. With just picture instructions, it took two days to set up, but the end result is worth it. Remember to label parts and use a muffin pan for screws and nuts. Overall, it's a great investment for any gardening enthusiast!
I’ve had this greenhouse in use for about a year and like it overall but there are things I don’t like.
Things I like: looks good, holds up to wind and rain, window and roof vents are good quality, shipping was good.
Things I don’t like: assembly was a pain and instructions were difficult for the professionals I hired, the seed shelf is very difficult to clean and adjust position, grooves along the bottom of the inside collect bugs and dirt and are difficult to clean, the door stops are inadequate so I’m constantly having to put them back on so the door doesn’t slide off, the back finial fell off during the winter, the shade cloth collects dirt and bugs and is time consuming to disconnect to clean and doesn’t work well with the misting system hooked up.
I live in zone 8b so for similar climates I recommend getting two auto opening roof vents, putting a louvered window opposite the door, and using a different shade cloth.
We appreciate your attention to detail and understanding throughout this process. It appears there might have been some oversight regarding the resources provided for assembly. The spiral-bound manual from Exaco and the pictorial factory manual included in the pallet are both valuable guides, along with the assembly video playlist shared via email by Tyler/Diane. We want to know if you didn’t see the email from Exaco. You can always reach out to us or directly contact EXACO customer service for any assistance you may require during your greenhouse installation.
Regarding the seed tray, it's indeed best utilized for starting seedlings with soil, as it's specifically designed for that purpose. Understandably, using it solely as a shelf might present challenges in terms of cleaning due to its box-like design.
Now, concerning the door stops, it seems there may have been a slight oversight during installation. The door stoppers located in the top rail require tightening with a bolt to ensure proper functionality. Your installers should be able to locate the Phillips head of the door stop and tighten the bolt within the channel, resolving the issue permanently.
Thank you for bringing these matters to our attention. We're committed to ensuring your greenhouse installation is completed smoothly and to your satisfaction. Should you have any further questions or require additional assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out. Your satisfaction is our priority.
We're thoroughly impressed with the greenhouse. It's generously sized and offers ample space inside. The construction is robust and reliable. The delivery company was exceptionally helpful, punctual, and maintained excellent communication throughout the process. We opted to hire a professional to assemble it for us, and they completed the task efficiently in just five days following the foundation pouring.
We're absolutely thrilled with our new greenhouse – it's just perfect! Not only did it arrive a day earlier than expected, but my husband managed to assemble it in just four days, thanks to the straightforward instructions. What's more, we had the foresight to lay down a patio floor before its arrival, which we secured in place with sturdy cement screws, ensuring maximum stability.
Setting up the greenhouse was a breeze thanks to the clearly labeled parts and the help of a friend. Together, we swiftly erected it, and since then, it's been the ideal environment for cultivating both summer and winter seeds. Additionally, it's served as a wonderful spot for overwintering my potted fuchsias. Its presence adds a sleek touch to my garden aesthetic!
This greenhouse has truly exceeded my expectations in every way. From its top-notch materials to its precise engineering, it's been a life-enhancing investment. Despite some confusion with the manual due to the German/English language barrier, the detailed videos provided invaluable assistance during construction, especially with the modifications we made. What truly stood out was the exceptional customer service—responsive and dedicated to ensuring our satisfaction. These folks genuinely care about their customers and go above and beyond to address any questions or concerns
We installed it onto a wooden deck adjacent to a bedroom, and it's precisely what we were looking for. Previously, the deck would become uncomfortably hot during the day, but now it offers just the perfect amount of shade, while still allowing plenty of natural light to filter through. Although assembly proved time-consuming for two people, it was manageable. I highly recommend thoroughly reading and understanding all instructions before beginning—it truly streamlines the process and makes life easier.
I'm thrilled with how it turned out too! It's absolutely delightful! Every morning, I relish my coffee on the deck, enjoying just the right amount of shade it provides.
We adore our Riga greenhouse, making use of it throughout the year. Nestled in CA, we prepare it for winter by loading it with our precious succulents and frost-sensitive potted plants, ensuring their protection. Come summer, we adorn it with shade cloth, transforming it into a delightful play area for our grandson by day and an enchanting alfresco dining space by night.
