When this arrived, it came in a box and with a lot of pieces. I was for sure that I was going to need my husband's help to put this together. I waited till the weekend so he could help me, yet he was tired so I enlisted the help of my 12 year old. When I started to pull out the pieces, I noticed that everything had stickers on them telling me what pieces they were. I organized them by the letters/ numbers so I could just grab and go. I took photos to include with my review so you could see the pieces.
The directions come on one sheet of paper, front and back. I was thinking that they would be hard to follow because it was a lot of pieces for one sheet of paper. The directions had diagrams of how they should look. I was able to follow them with ease. I never once had to double guess as I was putting this together. The framework was up with in I would say 15-20 minutes. The poles are made of a metal. and the connector pieces are made of a nice thick hard plastic. The frame is nice and sturdy once it is up in place.
The directions have you place half the leg height together and then place the canopy on. That is where I needed help to make it easier. Yes it is something I could have done on my own, but why do it on your own when you have help. My 12 year old and I got it on no problem, or so we thought there was no problem. We placed the cover on inside out. The velcro was on the outside and it needed to be on the inside. We had to flip the tarp over and put it back on, so make sure you are putting it on with the velcro facing the poles so you can attach it.
The tarp is made of a light weight material. Just like a normal tarp would be made of. I did not find any defects or flaws in the tarp. It fit the framework nice and tight. The velcro straps were attached nicely and was made out of very sturdy velcro. We then raised it to it's full height and placed the feet on the bottom. The corners of the tarp attach to the legs of the frame with a little metal hook.
The side panels are made of the same tarp material. They attach with Velcro. The sides have clear plastic windows so it allows light into the "garage". The sides attach with the same velcro that is on the top of the "garage". My best friend said this would be perfect for my cook outs that I have several times a year. I know that rain has made us all hide inside the house. This would allow us to still sit outside and put the sides up if, the rain is coming in on the sides. I am actually going to leave the sides off, because I just want to cover the top of my car. My driveway has a tree next to it and birds nest in there and poop on my car. I am having to wash my car about every 2 days and that becomes a time consuming or money consuming job, depending if I pay to have it done or do it myself.
Over all I am really pleased that I chose to get this and try it out for myself. You will not be able to find something this nice for the price! You can check it out to buy one as well, HERE
