This was so straightforward of an installation for the most part. The only thing the instructions lacked was at which point to secure to our foundation. So we just did it when it felt right. We preassembled all the pieces that made sense prior to errecting. Since that was the most time consuming part of the whole thing. The installation took 2 people 4 hours total to complete. It looks AWESOME. We had 2 small setbacks, one missing bracket for the powerbox and one piece had some damage that basically wore the paint off a small fingernail size. The company promptly sent out a bracket and touch up paint.
