Questions & Answers
No, it's only 31 inches tall and 27 inches wide.
I haven't used any heat at all. I don't think it's necessary (in Washington state), and I'm not sure if the plastic would withstand the heat source.
The top panel measures 11" x 11", but the green plastic trim (the arched part at the top) measures only 8" x 8".
Mine has been through a few winters and is still going strong. It served as a shelter for a semi-wild animal on my deck/porch. Cat that lives in the wild. However, I have no idea how well it would keep a plant alive during a harsh winter. North Carolina is where I call home.

Edited on January 22, 2021: I had previously edited my original review, removing a star whenever the price increased significantly. I am satisfied with the shelter provided and the length of time they have not leaked or disintegrated in all weather conditions because the price has now dropped to a reasonable level. I'm reverting to a 5-star rating because, for the current price of around $21, and for the purpose I've used them for, they've been fantastic! Original review: br>br> This has worked perfectly for the purpose for which I purchased it: to keep the wind and rain off a stray cat who has taken up residence in our yard and on our back uncovered porch. He doesn't mind going inside because it's clear, and I can zip up the majority of the door on cold nights to help trap heat inside. This is sat on top of a Heat Trak mat, with three bricks holding each edge in place. Because the square top actually holds water, I feel like I should clip a sheet of something to the top to help keep it waterproof, but it hasn't leaked yet. I bought one for each back stoop, and the neighbor's cat also likes to sleep in one. One of the pop-ups is shown in the photos I've attached. Ups were set up under a second clear shower curtain that I strung between the back porch rails (I know what you're thinking, but tough). Before I put the bricks around the edges of the pop-up, I took this photo. The orange cat in the picture is the cat who lives next door. He is now adamant about not returning home.
I'm not going to dig up my plants to protect them from the elements this winter. To begin with, they're far too large for that. Second, I don't have anywhere to store them in my house. In addition, I do not want bugs in my home. As a result, I purchased this mini greenhouse to protect them from the elements. I bought five because I live in zone 9, the Mojave Desert, where the average winter low temperature is 34°F/1°C, though it has dropped to 29° on occasion. When I wake up, my mini greenhouses are filled with condensation, indicating that my plants were kept warm and toasty overnight. I leave the zipper open for a couple of reasons: 1. Each greenhouse should have a height of 5 inches to allow the plants to breathe. So far, I've been able to ignore the fact that my plants are suffering from a cold. Some of my plants (oregano, parsley, asparagus, curry bush, sage, lavender, and several varieties of mint) do not require any protection throughout the year. ) I use greenhouses for the plants that appear to be delicate (stevia, various basil varieties). The plants appear to be in good spirits. Thank you very much, vendors.
I feed the neighborhood cats, and one of them doesn't have a place to eat when it rains (it's a turf war issue), so I've tried to build temporary shelters only to have the cat look at me as if to say, "I'm not going in that thing. " My prayers had been answered when I came across this little pop up tent. He likes it because he can see everything around him, and I like it because it folds up easily for storage and pops open when needed, and it can be staked to the ground to keep the wind from blowing it away. When it's cool enough, I put a pad inside and he sleeps in it. If you're using it for an animal, keep in mind that it gets quite hot inside when the sun is out. Perfect size and appearance; I had to figure out how to make an awning out of the unzipped flap/door to keep the rain out. For a nice little awning over the entrance, I simply turned the opening towards our privacy fence and tacked the flap to the fence.
This has solved the issue while also assisting them in their beautiful growth. My only complaint is that it is too small (which is my fault for not paying attention to length and width, so I will have to buy a larger one). But I'm going to use it for my seedling. (The plants are much larger now than they were in the photo. ).
Because I have a lot of natural light, I've been able to grow herbs fairly successfully. But they didn't seem to thrive or stay succulent for long periods of time, so I decided to give it a shot. I'm so glad I took the chance! There is no need for any kind of setup. Essentially, it is as follows: Remove the box from its packaging and open it. The plastic cane had become cloudy and wrinkled. I used baby wipes to wipe away the white cloudiness. br>br>I set up grow lights and planted a variety of herbs and vegetables in pots. I keep green onions, mint, oregano, and cilantro in water from the grocery store, and it lasts for a long time! To make a miniature greenhouse, I used a ziplock bag to cover the herbs. That is no longer required of me. The mint is incredibly fragrant.
On my front porch, I have a large round planter that would be suitable for a small tree. It's full of dirt and moss, but there's no plant in it. In the summer, Kitty O' Little, my outdoor cat, likes to nap in the planter. This pop-up was created by me. Kitty O' Little can now enjoy his "heated" planter in the winter as well, thanks to the addition of a greenhouse over the planter. He can sleep near the top of the greenhouse, where he can see everything going on in the yard and where the collected heat rises to keep him warm, thanks to the planter's height. For easy access, I simply roll up the "door" and turn it toward the house.
And then try to wrangle it back into its box - The directions are basically incomprehensible and not written in any kind of known English, so if you can figure it out, you'll win a prize. I've already unzipped the zipper once and it's already parting. However, for a few herbs on the back porch, this small, cheap fake greenhouse will suffice. The cost is extremely reasonable. There was no heavy rain, snow, or ice. It's made of the same plastic that comes in new blankets and sheets.
It's easy to put together, but the stakes aren't long enough to keep it in place in windy conditions. To keep it from blowing away, place rocks on the flaps. Unless it's frosty, the zipper works fine. TIP: On cold nights, keep plants warm by filling a milk jug halfway with hot water and placing it in the greenhouse.
