Each individual piece weighs around 1-100 lbs. so it is fairly easy to do with 2-3 people. Some customers have friends/neighbors/family assist, or hire 2 people. FedEx will schedule the delivery date and time that works for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What size truck would deliver the greenhouse?
– Most kits are delivered by semi-trucks. Kindly email us at info@homesteadsupplier.com for further questions about delivery details to your specific address.

2. Do I need a pressure-treated wood frame to anchor the greenhouse into, or can I literally just assemble and place it on the gravel? Gravel to be the “floor”. Can I just stake/anchor the greenhouse into the ground? Or does it even need to be anchored?

– Yes, you will need some sort of frame or footer to attach the wall sections too. These can be heavy so the framing will have to be substantial. The walls cannot be assembled on the gravel directly.

Also please note that the size of the frame/footer needs to be the exact size of the unit they purchased as there is a 3” skirt that falls below the bottom plate that is designed to wrap around the flooring. If the framing is more significant than they would have to cut this 3” off.
