Can some one explain what hggh stands for

Don't know about "hggh", but did you perhaps mean "HFGH"? It stands for Harbor Freight GreenHouse.

From what I've read in these discussions (I got my 6x8 before the 10x12 was available) I doubt there's a better deal out there, if ... and this is a big if ... you can follow the advice of those who have built them themselves and recommended certain structural modifications to strengthen the frame. If you haven't already done so, I strongly urge you to do a search and read the comments and recommendations of those people, most of them very happy with their modified structures. A lot will depend on temperature and wind conditions in your area. I understand that the polycarbonate alone is worth the cost of the kit.

Speaking from experience with the 6x8, I was impressed with it and continue to be delighted with it, though it would be nice to have something larger some day.

agardenstateof mind is right on target. The HFGH frame apparently needs some help to withstand adverse conditions. Hundreds of comments, suggestions, etc are available in the archives. Having read the comments that the HFGH is worth the price of the polycarbonate panels themselves, and in fact repeating that statement myself, I did some calculations. My just received HF catalog has 8 X 6 greenhouses for $330 and 10 X 12 for $630.

The 8 X 6 has about 200 square feet of polycarbonate paneling.
The 10 X 12 about 515 square feet.

Several suppliers of twin wall polycarbonate have prices all in the range of $1.20 per square foot.

8 X 6 HFGH, about 200 sq. ft polycarbonate - $330
200 sq. ft polycarbonate alone - $240

10 X 12 HFGH, about 515 sq. ft. polycarbonate - $630
515 sq. ft. polycarbonate alone Â$618

It seems that the comment we have repeated is not far off, especially for the larger HFGH size.
Shipping charges are not included here with either the HFGH or individual panels.

It should be mentioned that the larger hfgh is frequently on sale for $599 at the Harbor Freight stores, and if you sign up for their email and mailing list there are discount coupons to be had. The latest mailing I received had a 15% off coupon that would have brought the price of the greenhouse down to $509.85, which is a screaming deal. I have the 6x8 version and I like it alot. Jim

Having designed and built our own greenhouse, I was unfamiliar with this brand. I looked at their Web site to find out what all the fuss was about. This greenhouse would never withstand the weather we have had in northern Ohio without being anchored down in some way.

Also, remember that you still have a lot of expenses beyond the intitial cost.....flooring, benches, ventilation, water, heat. All of those things will add to the cost very quickly.

I have plans for a 12 x 14 made out of PVC pipe that can be built at a low cost. email me and I will send you the plans thay are in a PDF format. I have used mine for three years now it will withstand the high wind here in WV you just have to keep the snow off of it.

Thanks Diane and Jim. I have ordered A 10 by 12, and look forward to it. I only hope it can with stand our winters here in northern MN.
