Love this over our new teak deck tiles! large and sturdy-we used our own tent type stakes to secure it to the pea gravel over dirt. Easy for one person to assemble pieces, but need two or three to set up in place. Easy to use canopy pulls open/closed easily and secures with clips or handle. Also appears to be waterproof as it has kept us dry in light rain and even holds water in the folds when folded at the side for days.
