The Yardistry Cedar Poly Greenhouse from Costco is a ready-to-assemble kit that comes with all the wood pre-cut, pre-drilled, and pre-stained and includes all hardware and metal components. This is designed to be surface mounted so you’ll need to have a suitable base with anchoring hardware (not included).
The interior has 6′ sidewalls along with 16″ wide lower shelves and 8″ wide upper shelves that run along 2 sides of the interior. It has a cedar door with door latch and a roof vent to maintain temperature and humidity. This Yardistry greenhouse is complete with double-wall polycarbonate windows that have UV properties and resist fading.

Preparing For Installation
There are a few things you can do to help make the assembly process easier, prior to installing your greenhouse.
- Plan and Prepare Your Location
This greenhouse is designed to be surface mounted. Prepare the installation base and purchase the appropriate anchoring hardware. - Review the Instruction Manual
Read through the step-by-step illustrated instruction manual prior to installation. - Complete your Inventory
To minimize installation time, complete your inventory prior to assembly. Use the stamped codes and parts ID pages in your instruction manual to organize and sort the parts. If you are planning on hiring an installer to build your greenhouse, doing an inventory before they arrive will help eliminate any delays. If you find that you need anything be sure to contact Yardistry and complete a parts replacement form.
TIP: The manufacturer recommends applying a water sealant (such as Thompson Water Sealant) approximately 3 months after assembly, and on a yearly basis after that. This will help maintain the wood and protect against weathering. Please do NOT use an oil based product.
