how is the quality, really -- I see several poor quality comments! Roof rips easily - can't take a breeze? Really?

I leave mine up and use it like an extra room. Mine was up for months and held up to storms. It had a rip after a heavy ice storm, but that is my fault for not taking it down. Also, I never had it collapse like the cheaper models do.

We love ours !!!easy to put up,sturdy and haven had any problems with it . We go camping every weekend and its always put up either to eat under or for the grand baby's to play in .

I used it three times last summer, and on one camping trip the winds were going about 20 mph. I had it staked tight to the ground, and had no problems. It moved a little in the wind but had no issues of anything ripping.

Well, i have only had it up for a couple of months so can say for sure. I can say, however, that the two months it has been up has been the coldest and wintery-est we have had in a long time and it seems to be holding up fine. It is quite light, as a unit, but has a broad face so strong winds will, potentially, tip it. What i have seen some folks do on the internet, and i did it as well, is tie it down with a cable or wire so that it stays were i intended to stay.

To add to my previous comment, I returned mine. I felt it was glued together very quickly and pieces were crooked. I felt the quality was poor. I agree with one of the previous comments that it wouldn't hold up outside. If it's for decoration only, I'm sure you could find a way to put it up on a wall.

I was concerned about that myself when we purchased the shelter. We live on top of a mountain in the country and have had wind gust up to 50-60 mph this winter. We have had absolutely no problems with it. I did put it by a row of trees to help protect it and staked it down with additional re-bar and clamps. the canopy and structure have held up well.

It is just half a roof. I guess it's only a problem when sun is directly overhead. If you want full coverage this prob isn't te right play house. Incidentally my daughter is 3, we've now had this for 2 yrs and she's never taken interest in it! Maybe when she's older, but for now it's sorta boring!

Hi Thomas... In my opinion, it is definitely worth the investment. You can go cheaper, but there will always be that nagging concern about it falling apart at the most inopportune moment. One never regrets investing in quality.

The roof is pretty heavy panels. I don't have any trees around mine, so I don't know if it would dent.

So far it has been great. In the last couple of weeks we have had some really bad storms here. I thought for sure I was going to come home to find the screen torn or shredded. It has worked great with the highwinds. One suggestion would be to spend the money on good zip ties . I went with some cheaper ones and now I'm replacing them.

I also live in a windy area. I have a "Broan Nutone 636 roof cap with flap". I have not had any problems so far. Have been through a couple of storms and it has been fine.

FOREVER!- I would not use this again, unfortunately it did nothing for my roof. I had contacted the company and they just stated it would with more time- 3 MORE months.....?I did request my money back or even another re-order on them but they just want me to wait and gave me some excuse with the weather-rain-sun-etc....(bull)Do simple green and a bit of bleach- that works!

I really don't get the people claiming their greenhouse was blown down. I live in Florida and we recently had some pretty crazy weather. We have not yet bolted or tied down our greenhouse and so had gotten a little worried when the winds got crazy, but that greenhouse didn't budge an inch. I was skeptical when we first bought the greenhouse about a year ago but w are really happy with it. Its much more durable than i had originally thought it would be.

Well when we first put it on it worked great then not even two days later it was extremely windy and part of it actually ripped. I contacted customer service, sent them pictures and they shipped me a new one within a week. They said it must have been a fault. They stand behind their covers 100%. Although we haven't put the new one on yet ( we have been camping every other weekend ) I'm sure it will be fine. Sorry I wasn't that much help.

Yes the roof slops but I would not have it out in the weather. and Yes I would think a big enough animal could push it over. It is great for indoors maybe in a garage or patio. Just make sure it is anchored down if you are going to leave them in it all of the time. It is well make, and I liked mine but I had my 3 Guinea pigs in it and they trie to eat it so I gave it to a friend.

It has center support, that fell apart in the first storm. So I added two, one on each side and changed out the hardware. The roof material has held up well, I live in a very windy area.

If you just lay it out, it's great. I poked some holes in it to attach to a VegTrug frame I had, and the wind did tear it a bit in those areas--my fault. But overall it lasted the season very well. I do recommend it. Hope this helps.
