Strong Camel Greenhouse Replacement Frame for 16' X 7' X 7' Larger Hot Garden House , Support Arch Frame Climbing Plants/Flowers/Vegetables (16' X 7' X 7')

I got two of these to make a temporary greenhouse for the year. I wanted something cheap but that would at least last the season. This seemed to fit the bill.Assembly was easy, everything just slips together. The metal is better quality than I had expected, and didn't bend or warp as I was working with it. Once it was all together, though, I noticed the joints didn't stay together super great. They would stay until I had to pull and readjust it a bit, then they would pull out. Duct tape worked, but there was still a little bit of "play" in the joints that I didn't like. Not horrible, but I'm picky.So, I went to the hardware store and got a box of #8 1.5" bolts and nuts, and drilled a bunch of holes throughout the frame where pieces connected. I went through a box of 100 doing 2 frames, and while it was certainly a pain in the butt, the end result was incredibly good. It now feels very sturdy.The pieces fit together in such a way that you could easily mix and match and customize. I had two frames, and I made two greenhouses, one smaller and one larger. We've already got plans to buy some more and make grapevine tunnels and covered seating areas and of course more greenhouses.Overall, if you don't get bolts, this product is going to feel like a 2.5/5 stars product - fine, does it's job, not great, probably throw it away at the end of the season. However, bolt it together and you've got a solid 5/5 stars item at a fantastic price. Yes, it's a pain, but I've never seen a greenhouse be this cheap, easy to assemble, and sturdy before. I'm definitely going to get more.

I bought 2 to combine as a large run for my chickens. I covered it in chicken wire. It worked well for my need. It was really simple to assemble. I did have an issue with a few tubes being bent. I used pliers to squeeze it into shape and a couple kept coming undone. I taped each seem to keep it together. I could’ve used glue but I want to still be able to take it apart if the need be. The dimensions are off. I’m 5’8” and the highest point of the arch is 5’5” and it is 6’6” wide. It is 10’ long though which is great. I have a 20’ long run for my 5, soon to be 9, chickens. I really wish it was tall enough for me to walk in without ducking though but it’s not a deal breaker. All in all it worked well for my needs. I got a large chicken run for a fraction of the price of a prefab chicken run. I’m happy with my purchase and plan.

Date of Purchase: 12/25Purchased one set of: 12x7x7 Arch TrellisPerfect length for three plants: 2 Kiwi 1 GrapeArbor fits snuggly in between wooden fence and veranda.Pro:Durable and Heavy Duty Steel MetalStrong enough to support large vines(Previously considered arbor made of plastic)High Archway: Perfect for everyone to walk throughDark Green Color: Classic and ElegantCon:7 feet wide is too wideToo wide for small walkway by the house, so it extends to our veranda.It encloses the veranda fully: so we have to loop around the arbor to enter/exit the backyard.The connection between metal poles loosen at times, so it is best to drill holes and secure with screws/boltsThe provided arches and poles are too wide apart to provide adequate support for our plants.We recommend adding tough cables to provide additional support.Tips on Setting up:Some mistakes to avoid:Follow the diagramMake sure the vertical poles line up correctly:Long end faces floor: Short end faces up(Or else you will have trouble connecting the vertical poles to the arch.)When connecting archway poles: use provided screws to connect center/middle archway first: afterwards connect the ends of the archway last.(This will allow the poles to line up correctly)Photos: Kiwi Vines and Grape VineThis arbor is a beautiful investment for plant lovers as it provides adequate support for most plants.It not only functions as an arch trellis for plants, but as a beautiful arbor for people to stroll through.Update 5/5: The kiwi and grape vines are growing beautifully around the arbor trellis. It is able to support all the heavy vines and leaves from all 3 plants.The arbor/trellis has withstood winter rainstorms and winds without any issues :)We highly recommend this arbor/trellis for all plant lovers!

Not sturdy at all- the parts that go together need set screws as they keep popping apart. I have to place stakes in the ground to really anchor this frame. Way too expensive for what you get. Very poorly engineered.

Looked nice, went together easily. I secured it to posts at each corner and a 2x6 wood frame at ground level and a wood frame ridge along the ‘ceiling’. Covered with 6mil greenhouse plastic.It looked and felt good to go. A strong windstorm collapsed the metal frame. The plastic held up, my wood supports were undisturbed. The wind caved the side in. The metal is not strong enough.

I bought this frame several years ago and set it up in 2021, using it as a frame for my chicken run. Turns out a roll of 4’ wire fits perfectly between the sections so connecting it with metal zip ties was easy. It is a little wobbly on its own, which is to be expected, but once you’ve put a bit of framing support on either end this thing is a solid beast. It’s been thru two upper Midwest winters covered in plastic, held up to snow load and roosting turkeys, and is still going strong. For how cheap it was, I did not expect this level of quality.
