Be Careful assembling 12X12. roof panels large, and hard to work with
First off, I love the product. The ceiling fan hook is a very nice feature. Having read others reviews, I was expecting the assembly to be a large job. I consider myself very handy, and had my father to assist me. We had the entire frame assembled in about 3 hours which seemed great Then came the roof panels. The lower panels are very large, and wobbly. It was difficult to control both sides of the panels at the same time, but with patience, we were able to get them in place. The instructions on how to slip in the upper panels are a joke. You have to lean all the way over the lower panels to even begin placing the uppers. Then wiggle and force them until the finally pop into place. I am 64 and with a ladder, placing the upper panels was at my limits. 16 roof panels, at 15/20 minutes each to get them seated and aligned. Installing all the roof panels took close to 5 hours. I have only had it up a few weeks, but so far no leaks, and no complaints. Looks great, and weve gotten many compliments. Just know what youre getting yourself into if you plan to assemble it yourself
