Was in need for shade on my patio. I ordered it on a Sunday and had it by Friday. I’m a 59 year old female. a friend of mine who’s older helped me pre assemble what we could (the beams and roof). We had never ever done a project of this size. We consider ourselves handy but a little bit of construction knowledge would have helped us. We made lots of calls to guys we knew and her husband helped a bit too. Instructions were easy to follow and at the end it all went together fine. If I did it again would take 1/2 the time. Definitely watch your critical measurements. Also take the time to make sure the trim pieces on the roof are secure prior to installing it. I did not put the trim on the beams where it attached to the roof. We have our periods of lots of moisture in Nebraska a thought it was a catch for moisture. Looks great though. It’s only been done for less than a week.
