Customer Reviews for 6' x 12' Kensington Greenhouse
6' x 12' Kensington Greenhouse
The 6' x 12' Kennsington Greenhouse is the only unit on the market with easy access doors in the front and the back. Finally it’s simple to move most wheelbarrows or garden carts (24” door opening) through the greenhouse, picking up and dropping off soil and plants without reversing direction. It also makes it more comfortable for two people to be working inside at the same time.
The Kennsington Classic 6' x 12' kit uses a patented push-lock interlocking frame system and features rigid polycarbonate panels that are 4 mil. thick and twin walled for maximum insulation. Panels simply slide into place and become part of the rigid frame system, which includes an air circulation Smart Vent in the wall.
Assembly Note: This project will require 1-3 days with 1-2 people systematically following the assembly manual. Two people make the project easier and more enjoyable.

Doors at each end for easy access and maneuvering
Preassembled doors and roof vents save you time
Patented push-fit assembly with locking connectors
Full length work benches on both sides provide 24 lineal feet of planting space

Dont waste your time or money...
Pros: costco has an easy return policy at least.
Cons: poorly made product.
Model Number: Item # 560051
"This product is beyond poor. I say this as an experienced builder/handyman. There are no Pros, as assembly as far as I can tell is impossible. First, fit and finish: Brackets and connectors do not line up exactly w/ pre-drilled holes in the frame. Worse, the hardware is cheap of poor quality/soft metal. Screws strip and snap easily under the slightest pressure. When holes don't exacly line up, then pressure must be exerted with a cordless drill to make them seat, at which point screw head strip, and even the heads and bodies snap clean off under very little pressure. This happened within the first few steps of constructing the first end frame. Garb*ge. When removing the screws which I could get to seat during the initial door assembly, to put back to return, under inspection, the threads were damaged/stripped, and many screws slightly bent. This was for the screws which easily went into place. !! Ju*k parts !!! The item comes in three large boxes, so if you begin to assemble then find out the above, it's ponderous to repack for a return. Very disappointing experience for something I really wanted. Costco is usually good."

96.5% Happy
Pros: works great, clearly labeled parts, good instructions
Cons: plastic door hinges
Model Number: 6' x 12' Kensington Greenhouse w/Front & Back Doors
"I bought this unit as a Mother's Day gift for my long-suffering brown-thumbed wife and it has made a huge difference!
Most of the reviews are accurate. If you CAREFULLY follow the directions, it will take two people two 6-hour days to assemble the unit. My only complaint is that the door hinges are plastic and can snap very easily (as happened to us - fortunately, we were putting one of the shorter sides up against another structure, so we just permanently secured the door with a bolt since we would not be using it). Other than that, it has been wonderful - the auto-vent works like a charm, the plants are growing well and, best of all, they are protected from the deer, raccoons and foxes that normally pillage our garden like it was their own personal buffet. Just be sure to be careful when sliding the panels into place. We had a few sticky situations, but a can of WD40 resolved the issue.
All-in-all, a decent value."

Very Happy With The Finished Product
"Came home from work to find 3 very large and heavy boxes on my doorstep. With some pushing and shoving I got the boxes to side of my house. Because I was intimidated with the size of boxes I was waiting for some help to put this together. But with everyone having such busy schedules(me included) and me to excited to wait. I decided to try to put this greenhouse together by myself. Since I work two jobs, I was putting it together in between the jobs. To my delight the instructions were amazing. So easy to put together! And it only took me three days! Very pleased with the finished product and have it already full of plants!"

Disappointed
"I bought this greenhouse for my husband based on the reviews. I thought the set up was grueling and when it was finished I didn't feel the product was worth the asking price. Within two weeks one of the doors broke and I was disappointed to have another project on my hands. Trying to get replacement parts is pure hassle. Having to work on this greenhouse again is pure disappointment."

Great Bang for the Buck
Model Number: 6' x 12' Kensington Greenhouse w/Front & Back Doors
""The directions are good. All the parts came with the kit. It's strong. The shelves are very useful. My site is sloped. So, I set the foundation up like a raised flower bed using stacked (& screwed) pressure treated 4x4's to level the mounting surface. I divided the footprint into thirds (2'x12') and lowered the center aisle to increase my headroom. I was afraid 6' wouldn't be wide enough (I'm a big guy) -- it's plenty wide. I'm very happy with this investment."

Great greenhouse for the money
Pros: the shelves are very functional & strong
Cons: none
"The directions for putting this project together are excellent. I had to take my time and read the directions a couple of timers over to make sure I had the right pieces in the right place. All the parts were there and it went together precisely as described. My wife and I put it together in sections in our garage (lousy weather) and then put it together over the foundation. Took three days without rushing and It turned out more sturdy then I anticipated."
