Found this on ebay. Thinking of setting it up and planting my crop inside of it, in the ground.
Wondering if it's a bad idea, since the GH is only 7ft tall?
Also wondering if the green shade material is too much shade?

I've got a budget of $100.
And I plan to stake the shit out of the thing to keep it anchored.

haha! trust me when I say..
me + tools = disaster

Ended up getting the 12x7x7.
I'm going to anchor the shit out of it, and just top the plants at 6ft tall.
Going to be way better than trying to grow the plants under weak, insufficient lights.

A small update on the product for all you consumers out there..
You definitely get what you pay for. This is after 1 week and 1 soft overnight rain.
Convinced the manufacturer that it was defected, and they gave me a full refund that same day. Also told me to dispose of the greenhouse at my convenience.

Now reenforced with stronger custom brackets. This thing could withstand a tornado.. for about 5 whole minutes.

haha.. thanks.
It's still standing and working perfectly now that I've re-enforced the frame. Not bad for free..
