The frame is sturdy and easy to pop up with two people. It could be anchored with tie off rope and stakes for potable use or in my case with screws to a deck for seasonal use. The solar panel,LED lights and USB port is a bonus and work fine. The fabric is water proof and vented for heat release. The only issue the the fabric is the stitching where the Velcro is to attach it to the frame tears from wind, I had to duct take 5 of them and did the same for the remaining ones to prevent it as you can see in the photo.
