Great satisfaction in building your own stand and canopy.

I did my own also, with about the same lack of experience.

Probably built it 5X stronger then had to be. Also probably spent way more on it then if I just went out and bought it...

But was great fun and enjoy today much more by doing by self.

Again, good job.
