I found this very difficult to put together but it looks very nice. It worked well and has a big spread. My own mistake, I tried to avoid putting the big bolts into my house and used lag bolts instead, we had a bad wind and it pulled right off. This was my fault though so just keep in mind that if you try that route it might not work. On a good note, even though it fell down it was completely unharmed so the quality seems to be very good. The photo shows the size of the holes I used with the lag bolt which are covered now because I didn't want water coming in.
