pop up greenhouses

I've had 2 now-I liked the Bloomhaus- it's like a giant Chinese Lantern, truly does just pop up..., after 3 years of snow and sun  we decided to replace it. I thought the head space wasted..so bought the Dream Haus model. ( you can zip them together to make a bigger greenhouse.FlowerHouse Mini & Portable Greenhouses - ON SALE

it is not holding up to snow as well; I have just located replacement rods
Flowerhouses.com - Replacement Parts

  but there is no way to replace the screen doors and bottom screen windows the puppies ATE last spring
(well, there were 12 of them!) so in the summer-it's a big open tunnel, basically!

It also does not seem to have as much effective heat as the high wide Bloom house.

I am going to have to consider a more permanent structure; though I do love these pop ups.I need-steep roof because apparently we are going to continue to have heavy snows in winter, around here. ( now: I could have taken the green house down for the winter; but I didn;t so I figure I won;t. any structure needs to outlast my laziness) I'd like a nice exterior; and there are different levels of polycarb/advanced "plastic" to cover. It needs to set up without making a foundation; I;m not really up to those skills. As that area is slightly sloped, I might even try digging even and setting in a slight berm for better temp control.

it needs to be easy to get shade covers on, and vents opened up.And will cost plenty I am sure.Still checking all the options out!
