It was SUPER simple to build - went together in a couple of hours. Adding framing would maybe take a weekend??

I am fairly sure that jackb has one, too.
Rich shows us how he put it together in 2009.

At first, there was a problem with our prevailing winds. Lost a panel now and then that were easily put back in place. You will do best if there is some windbreak on the windy side. Once we had a couple of evergreens grow up, there were no further problems with the panels blowing out.
Oops! DH also made some wooden slats that he put in the middle of each 2'x4' panel -- inside and out -- to keep the panels from bending enough to be blown out. A bit of chicken wire would probably work just as well.
Mine is now (maybe) 25 years old. The plexi-panels are somewhat yellowed and dirty in the middle (I didn't cover the ends with tape as none was provided back then), but still there letting lots of light through. I have two recently broken panels. I plan to move some lower north-side panels to replace the broken ones and use something solid in their place.
I wouldn't buy another one. Mostly because it very quickly became too small for my needs. But if you have limited space for greenhouse or garden, I wouldn't tell you to skip it either. It has served me well.

p.s. I forgot to add that I put it together in less than a day by myself.
