What you should know before buying
No numeric wind rating. The manual gives a technique instead: "For areas with high winds, you can install the strapping closer to the end wall to prevent wind from sneaking in when the sides are rolled down." That is useful advice about the film, not a statement about the frame, and gives nothing to compare against a local design wind speed.
The manual asks for siting "far enough from existing structures to avoid shade, runoff, and snow drifts". Drift loading off a neighbouring roof or fence is a real failure mode, and it is not covered by the drift-free snow figures that appear on product pages.
Wind restraint runs through base boards and "eyebolts (not included)". Both the timber base and the eyebolts are the buyer's to source, so the ground connection — the part that decides whether it stays put — does not come with the kit.
Three separate "not included" notes in one manual: "Extra carriage bolts are not included in the regular kit", "(Storm door not included)" for the 32in to 36in door opening it frames for you, and eyebolts for the base boards. None are exotic parts, but together they turn assembly day into a hardware-store trip, and the base timber is a material cost the kit price does not show.

Where to buy
Advertised prices, checked daily. Shipping is extra unless the retailer states otherwise — on a greenhouse, freight can change which seller is actually cheapest. We do not yet track a retailer for this model.

What we don't know
Anything marked not published means the manufacturer does not state it. That is a fact about the product, not a gap on our side.
Figures are the manufacturer's own, taken from its documentation. We have not tested this greenhouse, and reporting a rating is not endorsing it. Wind, snow, permitting and foundation requirements vary by site — confirm anything that matters with the manufacturer and your local building authority before buying. Prices are what the retailer advertised when we last checked and exclude shipping unless stated.
