It said it would take two people and hour to build. Probably true but I'm a 70 year old single lady and I built it pretty easily in an afternoon. The order was split with half of it coming a day early. That gave me the time to get the pavers for a base for it and lay them out. The Fedex driver wanted to stay and help me - knew I was excited about getting it, very nice guy. All the pieces are labeled. The instructions are clear and consider with great pictures (wish more were from different angles but heck. All the panels are doweled and had predrilled screw holes. I seemed to get fewer of some of the screws but I easily used some short screws I had. The chickens were very curious during the whole process and when I opened the fence they immediately went over and checked it out. I'm just thrilled and I think it's a handsome addition to my yard! Love you Wayfair!
