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.
