our daughter bought a marquee which we planned to use on Christmas day so we could eat our lunch outdoors. It took 4 of us a couple of hours to work out all the pieces and erect it, eventually having to work by floodlight but then it was so extrememly hot on Christmas day we couldnt bear it outside and had to eat inside in airconditioned comfort. So, it all had to be dismantled again. At least we know how it all goes together for next time.
Ha ha... at least you have had a practice run... son in law has same marquee which we used for hueys first birthday... took hours!...used again once bit easier, at least you have an idea but still you cannot remembetwhat goes where..
