I ordered one of these that uses strings and thin straw type connectors to set up. It was hard to use and not quite what I need. So I ordered this one. Wow! What a difference. This one arrived in a nice carrying case. Well organized and so easy to find everything. The look is more what I wanted, but didn't realize until I had the wrong kind. With the string setup I had to find things to tie it to and it still sagged. Plus the wind affected it a lot. This is more stable, keeps it shape. Wind only seems to affect it if it's directly in line with the wind. Much better for my needs!
