I’m so happy to have this! My handyman brought a friend and I think they had it up in about 9 hours. He said it went up really well, the directions were good and straightforward. The cover won’t keep out a rain, but it will shelter from snow or sun. I’m excited to start growing vines up the sides. At first I planned to change the color but it weirdly matches my house so well that I’m just going to seal it instead.
