My husband unpacked the box and assembled the rolling carrying case, and the canopy. The size is perfect for right outside our back slider, so that we can grill and entertain regardless of the weather. Having opened up canopies in the past, my husband was surprised that he wasn’t able to open it by himself. He needed help to raise the canopy to full height, so it wasn’t really “pop up”. We will enjoy using the canopy year round, and will most likely affix it to the deck.
