“I put this together by myself. Following the directions step by step and managed to get it all done in a few hours. I bought the shelter three years ago. The first cover was ripped by my dog, twice and still managed to stay together for about 2 and a half years. Wind finally shook it enough for the frame to ware through. A replacment came and it was easy to re install. I would recommend getting pool noodle pieces to insert over the frame rails where it is tight.”
