Purchased two of these. One for a pasture for shade options until a more permanent solution could be built. One for the backyard over the picnic table. Unpacked one of them and it was broken in three places. The box was ripped and the darn thing won't repack due to the three rods that are broken. So now I've got a mess of poles on my property and no way to pack it back up and no way to dispose of it without paying for it, so that kind of stinks. The second one was not broken, and went up easily. So, credit for that . . . However, it too seems very flimsy. I did not expect anything that could be permanent or stand up to harsh weather, but man, this really seems like a beach breeze could send it tumbling . . .
