I opted for the 3.5' x 5' configuration. It was simple to put together, but given the fact that there were something like (don't quote me) 60 holes where bolts, washers and nuts are needed to connect the sections, assembly takes a little bit of time. Everything was carefully packaged, the sections are actually shrink-wrapped and extra hardware was included (for that random lost nut). It looks great. How it performs to protect a vegetable garden from my German Shepherd will have to wait until next year, but I can certainly see myself ordering more of these (smaller ones) then.
