This worked perfectly for an outdoor party in our backyard. It wasn't too hard to assemble (we used 4 people, and it went pretty fast), and two of us could disassemble the next day. We only used the back wall sections, because it was a hot evening, and nice to have a through-breeze. There was a bit of a wind, so we did end up tying the back middle pole to a tree for extra security. We will be able to reuse this canopy. Overall, I would highly recommend. To rent a canopy of this size in our area would be over $500!
