Quictent Greenhouse for Outdoors, Mini Quic-Setup Portable Flower Garden Plant Kit Outside, Heavy Duty Fiberglass Pop-up Frame and Durable Cover W/ Screen Window, 8.2x4.1x4.4 FT, Black

Living in a Northeastern inner-city, winters can have deep snow, sleet, and frigid temperatures. We have a small concrete back yard with a raised bed for potted plants and small trees. In April of 2021 I did some advanced planning and did a lot of research on greenhouse options for winter protection. I selected the Quictent Mini for its perfect size, light weight, easy set-up, and durability. The large zippered openings provide front and back full access to the interior, and zippered ventilation screens provide excellent air circulation.It has a well thought out design that makes setup-up and use easy and productive. It's supported by two external folding fiberglass "tent poles" along with flexible "frame" components sewn into the fabric to maintain the shape.We're heading into our second winter using the Mini so I can confirm it easily survived a typical snowy, freezing winter and is ready for this coming season. To combat the cold I added a heater and WIFI enabled thermometer to control the temperature.The reasonable cost of the Mini paid for itself several times by preserving our investment in 25+ plants and trees. Almost all survived, and I used it for an early start for germinating seeds for this past spring and summer.This has been a five star purchase, and exceeded by their customer service. I wanted to have an extra set of poles on hand so I contacted customer support. The customer service agent was so good I have to mention Betty by name. Through a series of prompt and responsive emails, Betty ensured I ordered the right items, confirmed the payment process, provided shipping information, and kept me informed to after delivery. Betty provided a stellar level of performance that you hope for but rarely experience these days.I highly recommend the product, company, and it's employees.

It was easy to put together and works well over my raised garden beds. We have a 4x8 foot raised bed and it’s a perfect fit. Love the fact you can unzip the sides to work and harvest your vegetables.

Pros: (1) Inexpensive. (2) Quick to set up. (3) Very useful for wintering tender plants in a WARM-winter climate, and a good cold frame. (4) The two end vents prevent moisture build-up when the doors are closed. (5) The doors provide access to all areas of the greenhouse. (6) It's quick and easy to set up -- it took us (2 people) about an hour from unpacking to complete set-up.Cons: (1) this is a temporary solution to your gardening needs. The clear plastic separates from the zippers pretty easily if you stress the material to any degree and it's nearly impossible to prevent, meaning some time wasted with duct tape trying to repair the tears so the doors are fully functional. (2) You can't stand in this thing. I found the best thing was to get a little gardening cart (the kind you sit on and scoot around) and use it to cruise between two rows of plants. Otherwise you're forced into a bent-legged stance that gets uncomfortable fast. (3) the green fabric fades after its first summer in the sun. It makes no difference in functionality but does give it a bit of a shabby appearance. This isn't a problem for me but I can see where it could be for others.Like I said, useful but not ideal.

I tend to be wary when buying products like this made in China. I have had my fair share of poorly built or poorly designed garbage. But these collapsible greenhouses are a delight. They come in a compact package, and can easily be returned to it for storage. They assemble quickly, although getting the top rod in place can be a bit tricky when brand new (push hard). The materials seem of decent quality, and the design is clever and well executed. These are not permanent, outdoor structures. But for my need - to add a few weeks to the front end of the season - they are perfect. I have only had mine up for a day, so too early to know how they will hold up, but my initial impressions of the zippers, poles, etc. are that the quality is fine for the purpose and the price.

Although two of the windows developed tears (the plastic pulled away from the zipper), the greenhouse is perfectly designed, well-made and very easy to set up (I popped it up and moved it by myself in less than 10 minutes). I think the tears could have been avoided by giving the greenhouse more flexibility (not tying it down tightly), thereby allowing more play in the fabric around the windows. Anyway, that's what I'm going to try with the replacement greenhouse. I also used black 4' x 8' landscape fabric for the flooring, which gave the greenhouse a nice finished look. Also, with the windows unzipped, the plants don't get too hot or wind-whipped. After a few times, I didn't bother to roll the windows up, I just zipped the windows down halfway and let them hang just a little off the ground. I was able to fit 22 trays of plants in it, so it offers plenty of space. I haven't had an issue with it blowing away, as it has some windbreak from a nearby fence and trees. When I contacted the seller about the first tear, they replaced the greenhouse, which was really fantastic, as I was looking for just a repair of the tear. I look forward to many years of use with this greenhouse!

I'm new to gardening 2nd year,Pros: it stands up to windy days, it's sturdy and easy to put up. It's clear so you can watch the progress of your garden as it grows. I can see recommending for a colder area.Cons: I feel like it got to hot, because my zucchini plants would wilt. (Southern California)
