An excellent little polytunnel but a few small additions required
An excellent little polytunnel but given the highly competitive price for this product expect to add a little of your own ingenuity. If erecting away from home eg on allotment (as I did), check bolts and nuts as I didn't count them beforehand and was short of nuts - luckily I took a few spare. I would also advise a tubular box spanner and a short Phillips screwdriver for doing up the nuts quickly, bearing in mind that during construction it is all a bit unwieldy.The instructions consist of a picture with numbered struts which correspond to numbered struts in the box but there is nothing beyond that and it is quite bewildering at first. I would suggest something like:(1) You will need two people to assemble. (2) Bolt together all longitudinal sections first so you will have top, sides and base rails. (3) Then assemble lateral struts to the top (4) Assemble lateral struts on side and base rails, then connect these two together (5) Slot the side/base assembly to the top assembly" (6) Add diagonal and end base rails.An absolute must is to drive in a sturdy stake into each corner on the inside and tie the vertical struts firmly to it - you can't do this on the outside as the cover extends outwards slightly on the ground. This immediately improves the rigidity. You can also tie bamboo canes to match the two diagonal struts supplied which also helps with the rigidity. The cover is supposed to be buried at the base which you can do but I would also suggest weighting it down round the edges with whatever is to hand - a few plant troughs filled with soil would do the job.

Easy to assemble and pretty sturdy
First of all, manual is very easy to read, nothing complicated there at all. It took three people to assemble it, but only because it was three of us. It's definitely job for two, one person will not manage. Its pretty sturdy when assembled, we live in fairly windy part of UK, and so far, so good (we already have it over 7 months outside and during two hurricanes), but we weighted down the bottom of the structure with lot of rocks. Net windows are very good for keeping inside cool without letting pests in. Overall very pleased with our polytunnel.

Dissapointing
The Frame is of a very good quality and goes together easily.The fixings are rough and wore through where the bolt head touched the cover within one windy week. HEAT TAPE IS ESSENTIAL to protect from this.The Zips seem a little on the fragile side small teeth and any dirt causes a very rough action.The Cover seems pretty good (Ignoring the issue I mentioned). Although one or two of the velcro tags that secure it to the frame are already showing wear after a few weeks. Quite a loose fit generally makes it more susceptible to strong winds.Only time will tell if it has descent UV protection.Overall pretty good but the issues are making me consider another for my fourth purchase. (this one is in second place so far).

Better instructions needed
The instructions were entirely visual and, in parts ambiguous. We had to undo things and go back several stages because there is no real indication of the order in which things need to be done, and, in some cases, it was not entirely clear whether add bits to the outside or the inside of the structure. Having finished it it was pretty solid. We thought we has fastened it down well, but the strong southwesterly winds where we live knew differently. About two weeks after we built it we found it half way up a tree! The cover had come off - despite being fastened to the framework, but - surprisingly the structure remained intact so we were able to carry it back to its base. The seedlings inside were not to fortunate!Having said all of that, now that we have strapped it down it is a very effective little polytunnel. It is certainly good value for money - but the manufacturers really do need to improve the instructions.

Good portable greenhouse
Took 2 people to put up and after a few minutes found it easy to follow instructions. Kept all our potted plants frost free over winter and was easy to take down and put away ready for next year. All plants survived and we haven’t had to pay out for new ones this year. Has paid for itself by it saving our plants and us not having to buy new ones this year, and hopefully in future.It is now October 2023 and we have just put the greenhouse up again ready for this winter. Still good!

Get what you pay for
Not assembled as yet, just checking parts off and finding 5 posts not properly galvanised, in fact one already had signs of rust, so along with the stakes, heat tape & cable ties I have brought for this I am now going to have to buy a tin of hammerite to sort metalwork out before I assemble. Quality control required.....**UPDATE** Now assembled, instructions a waste of time, plastic caps go into the ends of the horizontal lengths before fitting, would reccomend wooden/plastic dowels In the tubes where the bolts fit to strengthen frame, use stakes on the inside of polytunnel to hold frame down & stakes and boards to fasten plastic cover to, if unsure watch YouTube videos to see how other people have done it.
