a great backyard addition to my yard. I have a vine growing up it, a sliding bench under it, and a light that shines on it at night, which has a pretty effect. Putting it together took a bit of time, effort and needed 2 people to get it up and installed into the ground, but after all was done, it's been standing for over a year now and is holding up just fine. Because it is made of vinyl it looks as good as the day we received it, unlike the wood one I had previously, and the metal one before that. The first one rotted through and the second one rusted apart.
