I finally got a day when the weather allowed me to get this up. Instructions are minimal, pictures only. It should note that it would be easier with two people and a step ladder. anyway I managed to get it done. A few noted of assistance would be that the joints are sometimes tight and a drop of lubricant may help but it is really important to ensure each joint is in fully or the cover will not fit on. At the top, you can joint the top loosely with the bolt before putting it on the top but do not try to attach it to the #2 pipe because it will be impossible to attach it to the joint at #3(guess how i know ). The cover needs two people to put it on and a ladder as it is high up. it fits very snug so if your joins are not fitted right it will not be able to do up the zippers and be sure to undo the zippers before trying to put it on. Now that was the hard part. I like the room and the size of the shelves. it is already warm inside. I am happy with the finished produce
