I haven't installed it yet, as our weather is just starting to improve here, but it was wrapped inside the box and appears without damage. It is also very light weight, which will be nice for transferring indoors when not in use. Simple, straightforward instructions for stake installation are included. Dimensions : 200cm tall (6'-7") and wraps tight to 40cm around (17"). It could easily be stored in a closet in the off season. The bamboo is a nice alternative to the standard aluminum clotheslines.
