I bought both the heavy duty and regular greenhouses from Gardman... The basic structure is the same (framing and crosspieces). There are three main differences, though...
1. shelves - it is obvious - this one has five.
2. cover - the reinforced green cover is much stronger and heavy duty than the clear plastic one
3. shelf layout - the regular greenhouse has one shelf that goes all the way across each level, while the heavy duty greenhouse offer more versatility: each level has a two-part shelf! If you have a plant that extends above one level, just remove a shelf section, and you will double the height available to that plant!
This is a really good system... I plan to purchase three-four more of these heavy duty greenhouses around February!
Please note that I read all the reviews before purchasing and added a significant amount of twine and/or zip ties to my structure - right after a light wind knocked it over while it was empty and all the shelves fell off! The twine and/or zip ties are a VERY important addition!

This is an excellent Product. It is very sturdy on level surface. It slants a bit after some heavy sun exposure on an uneven surface. However, no ventilation when zipped up brings the rating down from five to four. Anybody purchasing this product should consider adding a fan to avoid mold. I would also add two holes at the top covered by insects netting to allow some moisture to escape. The frame also allow for adding your own automated mist system which makes the product self maintaining.
I've grown 12 different types of hot peppers, cabbage, cucumber, onion, tomatoes, corn, and everything sprouts in matter of days.
I highly recommend this product.
*A year later and the weather has completely stripped the frame. I have resorted to taping the seams to prolong the life of the product. Also it is now leaning towards the left and it's a matter of time before the support I've added fails and everything ends up on the ground. I would recommend this prior of use.*

I just received my greenhouse today. I will update this review periodically as i experience and or learn more about it from a practical standpoint.
So far: It arrived two days early, which is always nice. It was so incredibly easy to assemble. I was a little surprised by this. You might have to pound a few of the assembly pieces in tight, which i accomplished easily with my hand. The tarp was easy to put on, although i am 6'4" and i had to reach up a bit. If you are shorter, have a stool handy or get some help. Make sure to unzip the tarp also to make it easier to put on. The shelves are pretty flimsy, but you can also add them or remove them as per your needs. There are two per level, or ten total. The whole thing probably doesn't weigh ten pounds. I could be wrong, but it is definitely super light. If you are in a windy area, either tie it down to bricks, fences, and the like before putting the tarp on, or place it somewhere that shields it a little. I imagine that a strong wind will blow it around otherwise.I am happy with it so far. I've set it up to be mostly used for sprouting as well as for growing tomatoes. We'll see how it goes.
Update (June 8th): Almost everything i put in to sprout has in fact already sprouted and has shown rapid growth. I put a few potted plants in two days ago before a storm hit. Everything flourished except cilantro. I am guessing there was just too much moisture for it and it began to wilt. I removed it today. Due to the small size overall in comparison to walk in greenhouses, moisture condenses rather quickly. I would recommend leaving it open when it is especially hot out, and also reduce the amount of water you use in the pots you have within. This is my first greenhouse, so maybe these are obvious things, but listing them anyway. So far so good overall.
June 18th: Green Beans, Peppers, Tomatoes, Stevia, Basil, and Oregano all love the greenhouse. They all either sprouted, or in the case of the already existing Stevia, simply has thrived inside the greenhouse. The Green Beans in particular took off. Within the last week, they have gone from breaking the surface to right at eight inches tall. Tomatoes are all at their third set of leaves. I'm about to move most of these out of the greenhouse and into the garden and begin another batch of seeds. I will list what they are when i do.
June 28: For the most part, everything i had growing in the greenhouse has moved to the great outdoors (my patio) now, ghost peppers being the exception (they take a while to sprout and are just now starting to. After that, they will remain in the greenhouse for probably three more weeks). I still put some of the smaller tomato plants in there when it gets cold (which it still does here in SLC, actually). I plan to move my Vanilla Orchid back in the greenhouse for a few days, as well as my kiwi's, which arent doing great yet. That aside, i just started my new batch of greenhouse plants (starting from seed), which are: Devil's Tongue Chile's, Bishops Crown Chile's, Nicotina Rustica, New Zealand Tea, Alpine White Strawberries, Alpine Red Strawberries, and some Bird's of Paradise Flowers. I plan to also start up a few other Chile strains tomorrow.

CHEAP
Product was easy to put together but supports no weight - after 2 days it looked like the leaning tower of Pisa. Read more

good small greenhouse
This small greenhouse does the job it is supposed to do. It is good for a person who does not grow a whole lot but needs to have a greenhouse to start plants early. Read more

cheap
Did not hold up. I had it in an enclosed porch and came home from work one day to find the whole greenhouse had collapsed. It looks like the plastic joints melted enough to tear. Read more

Works well and reasonably priced
The greenhouse has been in use for one month, and has worked well so far. Hopefully it will come apart as easily as it went up. Read more

ok for the money, not great
This was easy to put together. Cheap plastic broke off the ends when putting the legs in. Flimsy shelves make you wonder if it will hold anything but the middle brace does support. Read more

serves a purpose
This was exactly what I was looking for. It is compact and doesn't take up alot of room. My plants get started and I don't have to keep taking them in and out of the garage.

Meh... limited versatility/poor craftsmanship?
So I read all the good reviews on this item before deciding to purchase it. I don't want to say I was misled, but this thing definitely wasn't what I expected. Read more

Poor Design
This looks like a great product but its an incredibly poor design. All of the parts are flimsy and there are no screws or anything that firmly holds the greenhouse together. Read more
