The frame goes together very easily but you really need 2 people to put on the wire mesh. Took 2 people and a couple days to finish it but it came out fantastic! I used some extra cable ties and got some strong anchors to anchor to the ground. So far the tarp on top has held up well in some pretty strong winds. I definitely would buy again. All the pieces came in 3 or 4 boxes and were not missing any parts.
