Awesome Greenhouse and fantastic service.
I bought a 5200 Dorset Grande series greenhouse, and an extension, from Grow Fresh Greenhouses and found it to be awesome. It is not that hard to put together providing that you make sure everything is level and square. All the components are high quality and are a snug fit which ads to the strength. We've had gale force winds and flooding rains since I put it up and everything is perfect. When I had some questions I found that I could always depend on getting the help that I needed which is very comforting especially these days. I did a lot of...
Read more research and looked at other, cheaper greenhouses but I am glad that I bought the Grow Fresh one because I will have this for life. It is very well designed and very sturdy. A lot of thought has gone into the design and it is apparent when you see the finished product. I am very happy with the whole experience. I would highly recommend anyone considering buying a greenhouse to have a good look at the competition because compared to Grow Fresh the others are inferior in many ways and will not stand the test of time.

Beautiful Glasshouse
I recently bought a dwarf wall glasshouse. I was hesitant to purchase at first but let me tell you it was worth every single cent. Being an older fella, I just love that old English style & I knew i just had to have one of these in my backyard. I got it built with a little help from my wife. I am thrilled with my finished glasshouse and I should add that the service from GF was impeccable! I Highly recommend.
Thanks Cian, it was a pleasure doing business with you. We hope you enjoy your glasshouse for many years to come :)

Absolutely satisfied
From initial contact to handover we were very happy with staff and product. Information, service and product exceeded expectations. Courteous knowledgeable staff were helpful. Initial inspection indicated that assembly would be time consuming so opted to pay for it to be done by those who had the expertise. Good investment.
Product and vendor highly recommended.
Thanks very much for your review John. We are glad you love the greenhouse and trust you will enjoy it for years to come!

Dissapointing
Very dissapointing service. Lost my order because of updating their webpage and then took a month to tell me the item wasn’t in stock. Poor communication and customer service. I hope the refund doesn’t take a month.
This is a product review page. Not a page to vent when a business has an unfortunate error occur. We tried to rectify as soon as we were aware and this is your response? We offered you a substitute or refund.
Customer service is part of the product experience. It took the company a week to respond to the follow up email that I sent and attempts by to follow up their phone message advising that they couldn’...
Read moret supply the ordered product went unanswered. Contact by the company so far has been 1 phone message a month after the order and this reply.

Spoil your week :(
I bought a Mini-Grow Grande greenhouse from Grow Fresh as my propagation structures had been destroyed by bushfire and I wanted a quick replacement. Quick! Hah! I knew it would be flatpacked and I would have to stand and join panels but I opened the box to find it was a kit of 258, count them, 258 parts to put together to assemble this cupboard-sized greenhouse. There is absolutely no pre-assembly, and the "instructions" consisted of winzy little diagrams, no words of explanation, tips, mention of tools, anything! I messaged the seller asking t...
Read moreo be referred to photographs or a video to explain and demonstrate assembly, but received no reply. The technique to join parts is not complicated but it is very fiddly and failure-prone. There is virtually nothing in the way of snap-in-place features to help lock things in place and give rigidity. In the end I got it together but it took more than 18 hours which I spread over a number of days as it was so infuriating and exhausting, doing things wrongly or encountering issues and having to undo and re-do things repeatedly. I would never have bought this product if I had any idea of what was going to be involved, so helpfully my experience will be of some use to other potential buyers. The whole design needs to be re-thought. As it is, it's beyond DIY, it's just customer abuse.- 2 reviews

Hard to assemble
I don't have any major problems BUT a few comments.
1/ Read the instructions! When your finished read them again.
2/ Read the instructions!
3/ Read the instructions! (are you seeing a pattern here)
4/ Do not assume that because several parts look the same they are the same- there are minor differences in hole spacing etc. If you assume you will be in a world of trouble because it will NOT go together.
5/ Do not allow several people to have a go at it- all it did with our garden group was to cause utter confusion.
6/ The only real criticisms I...
Hi Ian, not sure you bought from us as we have no one matching your name on record. Also if indeed you have our product, I would question if you called us for help during assembly? We have impeccable ...
Read moreaftersales and tech support but we can’t help if you don’t ask. Also not sure how the size of nuts and bolts and your ability to handle them is relevant as a review to the general quality of the product? If you found our assembly instructions difficult to follow, you will be thankful you didn’t buy a cheap Chinese greenhouse. All the best!Positive experience all round with Grow Fresh
Firstly a fantastic company to deal with. The process from sale to installation was 10/10. Very happy with the new greenhouse. We did lots of research and growfresh were definitely the strongest we saw. Already survived lots of wind on our Tassie property. Impressive. We have a Windsor Royale 9.5 metre in length.
Thanks Helen, it was a pleasure dealing with yourself and Tim. We wish you all the best with your greenhouse :)

Good product. Zero aftersales support.
Installation guide is inadequate and difficult to follow. I didn’t find and nails that are suitable to the door wheels for my DORSET model of greenhouse or nails suitable for the top portion of the air vents of the greenhouse. There is zero SUPPORT available once purchased. If you phone the contact number, most of the time it won’t be picked up.
The seller markets an unpainted greenhouse as “ silver colour” obviously un painted aluminium is a silver like colour. I learned it in the hard way.
My advice- If you are happy with no after sales service or advice go for it. The YouTube video of the Dorset assembly was a helpful guide. A silver line in a clouded scene.
We don’t use nails for any part of the construction on any of our greenhouses so we are unsure what this review is about? We pride ourselves on impeccable aftersales service and tech support, all you ...
Read moreneed to do is pick up the phone and talk to us. We have never heard from you. Yes a silver greenhouse is silver, did you expect something different? All the best.Horrible experience.
The greenhouse is a good product when assembled but the problem is getting it assembled. I am an experienced trade qualified mechanic, very handy with almost anything but this was a complete challenge of my patience. The seller seriously misrepresents and understates the difficulty in the assembly. Their video states " a couple of mates, a weekend and acouple of beers"......good luck!! The instructions are vague and totally inadequate. My partner and I spent well over 100 hours on assembly, think impossible jigsaw without pictures. When you fin...
Read moreally assemble the framework then you have the wonderful challenge of fitting the polycarbonate cladding....again, good luck. This will almost certainly end a good friendship or cause a divorce. Don't expect too much help from the seller, they very quickly stopped being helpful and became somewhat arrogant when challenged. I recommend you pay to get them to assemble it.Not sure what your real name is so we can’t see what you’ve actually bought BUT we do pride ourselves on exceptional quality products and fantastic after sales service and tech support. 100 hours is a...
Read more long time to spend on assembly, 1-2 days is average time spent, maybe a little longer if a very large model. All the best.Find out how Grow-Fresh Greenhouses compares to other Garden Shops

Can't get doors to work
The doors won't close. I have a seedling propagation unit, what's the point if doors won't close. I've had two guys come and have a look, can't work out why. Assembly structure is totally wrong.

Growfresh Greenhouses
I ordered the Dorset 5800 GH and I am absolutely thrilled with it so far. The guys came and installed it and it looks spectacular. Will come back to update review after a few months of usage and see how it fares. I am sure it will be fine, it looks strong and beautiful.

Best greenhouse I have used
Bought suitable greenhouse for climate and situation. Doors that open both ends are a huge asset to getting correct air flow in our hot climate. It was good to have the choice. I took time to read the plans and checked on line video. Help at end of phone if needed and found everyone pleasant. Product is strong and we inserted the polycarbonate panels with no trouble. I have Dorset Grand 4400

Great product, wonderful company to deal with!
We bought our greenhouse at Mudgee Field Days and it is going fantastic. We are on a farm here and get a lot of wind and our Windsor Royale 5.2 metre greenhouse has stood up to everything no problem. The frame is very heavy and the glazing is tough 10mm polycarbonate. The staff are very helpful and the technical support with installation was much appreciated. I bought this greenhouse to replace a terrible eBay one which lasted only a few weeks. Keep up the great work Growfresh!
Thanks Annie, great to hear!
Green house only lasted 6 months!
Spent 10k on purchasing a greenhouse and another 2k to have it installed by the boss and a employee for 2.5 days to only have it fall down 6 months later with no reply/response from the company. Great customer service -NOT!!!
Mick, against our recommendations you installed a lighter weight hobby greenhouse in an open and very high wind area. Then you had a big storm. You cant really blame the product. We sent 2 emails in r...

Peice of Rubbish!
This over-priced, flimsy and badly designed Greenhouse would have to be the worst thing I've ever encountered on the market.
At $245 - the whole thing is held together with a few nuts and bolts. It has no strength and wants to fall apart every time you touch it.
Under no circumstances should you purchase this unit. With over 20 years in construction I can tell you that this is a complete waste of money.
Absolutely Pathetic.
Grow-Fresh Greenhouses have offered no support (either by phone or email) and have offered no refund/return or exchange.
They are a Melbourne based company here in Australia.

Is there instruction with the green house Windsor royale series?

Just checking before they get here.

If during the process you have questions just call them up and they will help as much as they can. I found them to be really good.thanks Ritchie :)
Jenny, there are instructions provided in the boxes but I’m also happy to forward an electronic copy if you send me an email. Send to [email protected]. Regards, Rae
