HFGH 10 x 12 Playing in the traffic.

17 years ago

Although I have gleamed lots of info from this site for my HFGH this is my first post. Right now I'm looking for parts if anyone has any. Ran in to winds of 80mph over the weekend and lost some panels. They didn't go far the first time and were rescued. However, the second time someone lost them from the back of my truck and they were destroyed by traffic. I have e-mailed Harbor Freight and they are going to order for me. This forum says don't hold my breath. If anyone has any of the following please let me know.(#52 panel connectors qty 6) (#55 rear side panels qty 2) (#58 wall panels qty 2) (#63 front side panel qty 1) lost the right door as well but it never fit right from the start. Planned on building something for doors so not worried about them. Will send a pic of greenhouse with it's holes tomorrow. Thanks Ron

    You need extra bags of clips, as well. We put about 3 times as many clips as called for. The clips strenghten the panels without making holes in what is a tenuous connection, in DH's humble opinion.

    P.S. We've had some successes with ordering parts for other items from HO. Have patience.

    LOL Took me almost a full year to get my parts for my door they never included in the box. 6-8 weeks my a$$! I wish you better luck....Barb

    I bought extra clips and so far no panels blew out in storms.

  • 17 years ago

    Actually I removed all my clips from the roof, west and east walls. I used clear silicon caulking and it withstood 80 mph gusts on and off for 2 days with heavy rain. It's what I hadn't finished that did me in.............on the panels that blew out there was a min 8 clips per panel and some had more. A number of the clips are still attached to the frame.

    I'm glad to know the prices for the panels...I never asked them what those would cost. Pretty reasonable. If only we could believe that shipping time (call me a pessimist!) If greenhouse owners weren't so at the mercy of the ever-encroaching cold weather, slow shipping wouldn't be such a deal breaker.

    The line that worries me is "Please note, the part you are requesting will need to be special ordered from the Manufacture..." and, as we all know, the manufacturer is in China.

    I can't believe Harbor Freight doesn't at least stock those teensy little panel connector clips (for the tall back wall panels) for quick shipment. They could store a year's worth in a shoe box, for goodness sake. Grrrr.

    When I wanted parts I tried to get them to take parts from a GH kit and send them to me.
    I told them that when they got the parts they could put them in and sell it.
    They said we can not do that so I ordered the parts that were going to be here is 6 weeks.
    I made the parts myself and finished the GH and forgot about my order.

    About 18 months later UPS came with my parts they were the J clips that hold the studs to the bottom plate.

    Gardenerwantabe,

    That is how we got our parts we ended up at the store and demanded they take the parts out of a box. The store manager felt bad for us waiting so long he did it. A week later the parts showed up at the door. Oh and we had to pay for the parts even though they didnt include them in the box.

  • 17 years ago

    Barb....good grief!!! You had to PAY for the parts that were missing from your new kit? Even after waiting a year? That is totally ridiculous. I'm really astonished!

    Now I'm wondering...Gardenerwantabe, did HF make you pay for the missing J clips (that arrived 18 months too late?)

    I'm sure there is a contractor in the area that has a flashing bender. I could get them to bend some stock to duplicate the panel connectors. Just don't have the time right now. When I do though they will be at least 12 inches wide so if they ever pop off again they should be easy to find. Could even make the leading edges and inch or two for greater grip or resistance. How far off is Spring again?????
