We love this, it was easy for my spouse to install on top of deck in several hours. He secured under deck by wood incertions in posts(rather dirty work under deck). The most difficult thing has been finding a cover for this size. We finally decided on a 12 ft square sun shade by shelterlogic in sea color (house grey and white). Low and behold it fits the top perfectly ( we were going to sail it) so we're going to put snaps and secure it to the top that way. Never would have thought of using this way and only 65$. So the 12ft sail actually fits the top perfectly and I am going to let the hook ends drop down to secure lightweight plants or decorations. Also we put decorative brackets(outdoor vinyl from lowes) in the corners for ambience. Looks great!! We like the low maintenance part of this vinyl. 5 stars
