I've owned commercial-built greenhouses, and I have built and owned some from scratch. I believe the one I have now is about the best you can get for the money - for several reasons.
1) It is very strong, and will withstant virtually any amount of snow or wind.
2) It is less costly than the commercial models.
3) While not "portable" it can be disassembled and moved.
4) The Layout was planned by a man who is really expert in time management and volume production.
5) Built-in continuous ventilators running the length of the roof and along the walls make electric fans unnecessary.
6) If 8 or 10 mil dual or triple-wall polycarbonate is used, it is very efficient to heat.
The plans are 18 pages in PDF, viewable in Adobe Acrobat. I am happy to post them to this website, if someone can tell me how.
Meanwhile, I've included a picture along with this post.
Good building!
