(More customer reviews)I received this nine days after ordering,taking advantage of free shipping with Amazon Prime.
It took me about four hours start to finish having help only for putting the canopy on the frame.
This included a trip to the hardware store to pick up 20 nuts and bolts to bolt it together.
There were pins provided for four connectiong points,but I felt that it would be better to bolt it at all the remaining 20 connecting points.Holes were already drilled,I don't know why the manufacturer would not include pins or bolts for all the connections.Cost for the nuts and bolts was 8.04
The sides are only 19'6" so there is a gap at each end and the sides are stretched very tight.So tight I'm afraid the grommets may rip out.I intend to cut a few inches off of length of the frame so the sides will fit properly.Manufacturer should add length to the sides in the future.
The anchors included are straight rods about 3/8 diameter.I don't know how effective they will be in a stiff wind,so I intend to order the anchoring kit from the same manufacturer.This should have been included as well instead of the straight rods.
Overall,I think it sucks that I have to buy extras and make modifications,but it still appears to be a decent product.
Update 11/19/10: I was right about the anchors not being adequate.I came home today finding the wind blowing 30mph+ and most of the stakes were pulled up.I was lucky that nothing was damaged.I staked it down with some extra tent stakes I have and am anxiously waiting for the anchor kit I ordered to arrived.
I cut off four inches in the length of three of the horizontal supports so now the sides fit properly.
