Bought these to save space by growing my pumpkins vertically. They were difficult to assemble as the vertical pieces were tough to fit together. After being outside for 2 months, the nuts on the ends of the horizontal pieces connecting the legs had rusted out causing them to bend and fall over. By this time I had pumpkin vines and some orange-sized baby pumpkins hanging off the vines so I had to buy 8ft firing strips to pound into the ground and wire what was left of the arches on to them. Very disappointed. See the photo for where they are now.
