This was easy to put up, very sturdy, and there are bags you can fill with sand to weigh it down (if needed) in case they are strong winds. There are also rollers on the bag so when you are transporting it from one place to another, it makes it easy to move. I was worried this was going to be too small but it is perfect. We are going to use this at our kids school for outdoor games to help the coaches have a cool place and covered area to get them out of the FL sun!
