We assembled this in mid April of 2024. There are SO MANY PARTS and it was daunting. My husband is very good at furniture assembly so he did all of it once my brother poured 4 cement posts to secure it to. We had to have a (tall) third person help to raise both gable sides for initial assembly after the sides were put together. Time will tell if it can withstand a new england winter, but i can tell it will need more modifications as we go (maybe siliconing the panels in) Definitely will need a solar fan.
