I put this together by myself. It took a looooong time. It needed about 2 more bags of zip ties, so I went and got some. The instructions are clear. So far, its kept the chickens in, and the critters out. But the wire mesh isn't strong. It wouldn't hold up if a big dog really wanted in. Unless you put a ton of zip ties on. Which I did. Stays dry under the tarped area as well. The only thing I wish, is that the gate had been pre-made. They have plenty of room in there. Would I buy this again? Probably not, because of all the zip tying and the mesh doesn't lay right because of the dome shape. My fingers were raw from cutting the mesh and all the zip tying, for 2 days after building it. I like it now that its done though.
