We have the HFGH 10 X 12 put it up a few years ago in 2010. Ric could definitely give you more information on all the extras we added to make it stronger and nicer. He also found a blog that was hugely informative and helpful. I can say that we are pleased with ours. We poured an insulated concrete floor as a base. We painted it dark color to add more solar gain and mounted pvc decking boards to attach the GH to the foundation no wood rot. The center of the floor is bricked and that provides drainage and we can pull up the bricks if we need to access the water hydrant. We placed it in the middle lower end of the Veggie Garden. We also added an arbor and brick walkway leading down to the GH. We did the foil wrap edges with pin holes and not only clipped in the panels but used clear silicone as well and we haven't lost one yet. Ric added the electrical conduit pipe for more support and it makes for a great spot to hang baskets and even space for a few trays. We replaced one of the back panels with a lift out plywood door that we remove in the summer and are planning to add a head house at that end of the GH in the future.
