Assembly was much easier than I assumed beforehand. My only wish is that the design wouldve included more of a "gutter". Because of this I shimmed the pillars to allow for a slope in one direction via stainless washers under the mounting plates. This helps me shed water to one corner instead of it dropping on all four sides. Also be aware that this is freight shipped direct and is over 530lbs by way of two boxes. They dropped it in the middle of my driveway lol.
So far so good. Put together over 2 weekends secured to my concrete pad. Went up in month of Sept because it was soooo hotttt over the summer. We’ll see how it does in our blazing Sun.
I am very impressed at how easily this went together. It took about 8 hours by myself, having someone help me only twice just to hold one side when attaching the other. I highly recommend you take the time (about an hour) to completely unpack and remove all the items from their plastic wrapping. It's not really difficult to assemble, but it does take a lot of time. 2 a-frame ladders is a bonus, and a hex bit for your drill will save you time since the last 175 screws (for the roof panels and supports) can be power drilled. Another installation tip would be to not fully tighten the beams until after you layer them together. I used glue in-between the beams, secured them with the screws provided, then tightened all the bolts. The finished product looks great and I would recommend this to anyone.
