yes i got one - it required gaffer tape to keep the frame together on top!!!!! lol hence it was reduced i suppose! i left the frame up all through winter then put the cover back on a month ago.

we bought 3 thinking they were a bargain :angry: June's oh had to use self-tapping-screws to keep the frames together!! No wonder they were cheap when I bought them :laughing:
