“Fantastic, useful item. Grows so much
”
by MARIA
I liked this so much that I bought another one. A little fiddly to put together but sturdy when built and moveable, which is a bonus. The corners are a bit rough so I taped them all as I didn`t want to damage the covers We made slats for the bottom and it can hold numerous trays and pots of all sizes. The supplied troughs are very generous in size, strong and will each hold two module trays, so are very versatile

“No problems
”
by Mrs Bowen
We built ours in about 45 minutes with no particular problems. Having a good set of spanners was a help and it might have been easier to build on its side, but space was tight. We found it easier to fit the base supports with the first end and then repeat the process at the other end as it gave us a more rigid structure to work with. Very pleased with it so far.

“Delighted
”
by Cynthia Herbert
I was so pleased with my first Patiogro that I have bought three more! Two are on the patio full of winter flowering plants, and I think look delightful, the other two arrived this morning and I cannot wait to get them up. Next year I will keep two for flowers etc., and two for veg and salad. The first two went together very well and I would recommend them to all my friends.

“Patiogro disappointing.
”
by John Clemence
As Mrs Friend points out the trays are pretty flimsy. In addition to this it is not at all clear how the cover forms the nice 'A Shape' at the top since there is no structure in the frame to support this. The cover has fallen apart after just 14 months and given the rather poor results from anything I've tried to grow I'm not at all sure that I'll bother to replace the cover. A rather expensive gadget for the build quality and the quality of the materials used,

“"Easy to assemble framework"?
”
by Alison
Generally impressed. The trays are deep enough to grow many vegetables and a real space saver. It enables you to garden without stooping, kneeling or digging which has to be a plus. Not sure about the "Easy to assemble" bit. My neighbour asked who I was swearing at! Guess it might be easier with two? Unlike may of these "portable" plastic greenhouses taht are on sale now, this looks heavy enough to withstand the wind, epecially when the trays are loaded with compost. I will report back when I have used it for the whole growing season.

“Patiogro
”
by Mrs Friend
I bought this product because it looks substantial in the catalogue and it is just what I need for growing things without my having to bend over for long periods. However, I have to say that my first impression ,when my husband put it together,was that it was not up to the usual high standard I have always enjoyed from Lakeland. 1) Some of the screws' threads were stripping as they were being tightened and my husband had to substitute them with his own. 2)The growing-pots are disappointing to me as they appear to be only a couple of steps up from the disposable ones that plants come in from the garden centre. I was expecting a more substantial material. 3) The Kit comprises lengths of metal, nuts and screws and 12 growpots. Also there is a set of 12 plant labels which come free with the kit. The idea is wonderful but,in my opinion,the price of the product warrants review. Maybe I am too picky, I don't know, but to be truthful, at nearly £70, I expected better quality. My husband did speak to one of the lovely ladies at Lakeland when he found that the screws were not up to scratch and she very kindly said that she would send some vouchers out to compensate. You just cannot beat Lakeland for their excellent customer service and indeed their products. This has been a 'one-off' for me in the years I have shopped there.
