Planta greenhouse - ground contact - who does it ultimately work vs say 4x4?

I am getting a planta sigma greenhouse, I know they have ground-contact options where the metal feet are buried. My question is how is the greenhouse secured/sealed on the ground, couldn't a mouse of something dig in super easy? Has anyone gone pure ground vs a simple 4x4 or something? Trying to keep costs down.

I've built 2 greenhouses in the past so no stranger to framing, but I have kids and less time now, wondering if there is a consensus on kits vs still DIYing it. Im looking at the costco 12x12 kit for 3k and it doesnt look that durable or warm. I live at 8000 ft and our season is shorter and winds can get up to 50 mph on gusts.

I'd like to get a kit like this, but wondering if you are way over paying and getting worse product in return. What would something like this cost me to do myself just in materials anymore?

Thanks

edit -

Anyone use either plantagreenhouse.com or yourgreenhouses.com? planta seems well-regarded but 'yourgreenhouses' seems like it has very so-so, with some saying they never got their stuff
