GBI wrote a very good report about our… I wrote a very good report about our Harmony greenhouse but since the winds wish I'd bought 1 with thick glass this1 I wouldn't buy again. I phoned palram to ask where I could purchase a gutter connecting kit and was told they don't sell them So does that mean I need 4 buckets to collect the rain water as there is 4 gutter ends

GBExcellent service and product. Sierra veranda arrived and was fairly easy to put up with 2 people. When we were inserting the roofing paddles at first it didnt seem to be sitting right but we soon realised we hadn't placed the legs quite square but once we corrected that it was. It has been absolutely great. We have already had intense wind and rain and it has been solid. There hasn't been too much noise with the rain battering down. We have mounted it onto a pebble dashed wall so we have used lots of sealant to keep it waterproof which we have managed after a couple of goes so smooth brick walls will be no problem. A piece of guttering had been broken in transit but company replaced it promptly without hesitation.

GBCanopia Herald 1.4 x 4.5 metre canopy Canopia Herald 1.4 x 4.5 metre canopy. This is an attractive and effective canopy, supplied with good, quite easy to follow installation instructions and is quite straightforward to build with a couple of fiddly jobs, installation took about 1 working day. My experience was that almost all the build was a 1 person task, another helper was needed, briefly, for positioning the beam against the wall and installing the glazing. Almost all packaging is recycle able but on opening there was some damage to a few components, scuffs, bends and dents - improved packaging may solve. It would be better if the information that buying sealant for assembly is needed is available before the boxes are opened. I’d rather collect all I need to assemble before I start, rather than open boxes, read instructions go to Toolstation then start again. I think that the recommended silicone lubricant is essential when installing the rubber seal to the extension, it’s a fiddly task and tucking the end under the metalwork 1.4 metres away is tricky, a long flat screwdriver helped. Not sure about the permanence of the black plastic nut caps, I’m sure I’ll be waking up to many of those on the drive in the summer, maybe a spot of silicone sealant when fitting is a good idea. I’d recommend the canopy, it’s a good price, easily installed and nicely finished (if not damaged).

GBFalse Claims Bought a Canopia Feria back in November 2021, installed perfectly. Encountered a 30mph wind storm with heavy rain two weeks ago. Next day found fiberglass pieces everywhere and panels had shown signs of flaking. I thought that was odd seeing how they claim the panels are polycarbonate. Company tried to tell me that I had not removed the protective coverings. I've been a building contractor for 30 years.
