“Much thicker steel than I thought I would be getting. I assembled it bt myself with no help in about 3 hours. ( Because when doing projects like this I take my time and read the instructions carefully). Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the canopy is just ok, not heavy duty enough to last a long time. Im hoping to get at least 3 years out of it, but I'm not sure I will. Also, rain does tend to gather and puddle at a couple of places along the top, so I have to use a broom to push up the canvas to allow the water to flow off the canopy.
But where I live there are many houses with this type of canopy, and I've yet to see one with as large a steel frame as this one. I'm glad I purchased it.”

“I set it up solo, took about 3 hours. Directions were clear as were parts labeling. One support tube was bent slightly out of round in shipping. If using ground anchors, lubricate driving rod with vaseline or grease as otherwise it will permanently fuse to anchor. I would recommend this product”
“Provides rain and sun protection. We added a thin bowed piece of wood to prevent a puddle forming in one spot. Rain hits the side pipes and splashes inboard so we may add more tarp wrapped over side horizontal pipes to prevent that. We have received several favorable comments from the neighbors about its' appearance. It's not overly strong. Ground anchors help.”
“The frame is made of pipes that are similar to those you might find in a child’s swing set. They work fine for now but I it may need to be replaced in a few years. The bends in the pipes are not exactly accurate. Some of the legs are not plumb. They are adequate for their purpose but if it is critical for your application...
Overall the canopy is a good value and looks good.”
