All the tips with prior reviews hold true - be patient, have an auger to pre-drill your post-holes, and it'll work out well.For me patience helped as I planned a 4 hour slot but only took about an hour to assemble and install.I wish it were a bit more sturdy, but I used cable ties to cinch sections together. I needed an L-Shape to hide my A/C units so now have an extra section which could come in handy if, heaven forbid, a piece or portion is damaged.I have had this installed for ~6 wks and it's handled 2 heavy T-Storm/Windstorms without fail. Still looks like new, too!
