Bought this product due to some of the good reviews. Not disappointed at all. Shipment was earlier than expected. All 4 boxes arrived at the same time. Remember there are 4 boxes to this kit. All boxes arrived with very little to no damage, just some surface breakage. No damage to any of the product.
Since the product arrived earlier than expected, the build started earlier too.
Took 5 hrs for myself to spread a tarp out (since building on my new resurfaced deck), spread out all the framing parts, inventory them, and build the complete frame. The instructions dont have text on them, but if you look them over carefully and study the parts, its a piece of cake. At least for me.
I stopped at putting the roofing panels on, because it got warm and late in the day.
4 days later I put the roof on, by myself (well, wife handed some parts). Here is a small hint when putting the roof panels on. This helped me put them up and keep them up until time to bolt them on. Use the very long 6mm bolts and slide them in at the bottom of the panel, where the regular bolts go through. Just the bolts no nuts, they are there just to keep the panels in place until they are all up on one side. I only put a couple in each panel Then put the regulars bolts in with the spacers.
I did this with the small top roof section and the large bottom section. Made it a one person job.
The roofing part took another 3 hrs, but I was in no hurry. I did need help in getting the bolts and nut tight.
Remember dont tighten all bolts until sections are level (uprights and angle brackets), all roofing supports are in, and also wait until all panels are in before getting them tight.
Only had one problem with one hole, loosen a few bolts and everything came together.
Been using it everyday.
I recommend it.
Great outdoor escape.
