It was actually fun assembling the trellis. It is very nice looking. It did turn out to be hard to do the final step by myself. I hammered in the extenders 18 inches above ground and 18 inches below, putting them 57 inches apart. When I lifted the trellis and attempted to lower it onto the extenders, it did not go down easily. I had to move the extenders a little to have them perfectly centered to lower the trellis onto them. During this adjustment process, I lost control of the trellis and dropped it. It landed on plant material but the vertical support tore loose at the bottom. I fixed everything with a few screws but would conclude that the trellis, while beautiful, is a litte fragile.
