The biggest project may start soon

[secuono]

Getting my first real round pen!
Looks like it's a mix of sizes & heights, but it's the right price & I can buy more panels later on!
14 panels + a walk through gate.

Hopefully, it'll work to ride Flugi in, after I wrap myself in bubble wrap first...

$40 more, for what? Not "heavy duty poles", that's what.
Picture claims to be thicker, but it seems like it might not be any thicker than the cheaper carport. Its shiny, though. Maybe they meant shiny? Lol

Their pic-

Vs real life-


Vs cheaper-


Vs greenhouse-

I thought about getting more greenhouses, but they are much more.

And for fun, they need a new guy for spell checking...IDK what a "upgaraded" is, but its misspelled everywhere.

It came in two boxes, very well packaged. Maybe that's part of the extra cost?
It also arrived very early!

But should I keep it or return it for false advertising? Is it worth trying to enclose this?

The legs won't separate now...fell out day of, but now refuse to let go...
And I could hear the wind coming in from behind the far mountains, was reattaching the anchors when the wind came in with some rain.

That is all very confusing, they sure don't make it easy for a person to make an informed decision.

Nice roundpen!

. . . the legs never separate again.
Tried to hammer them apart, nope.
Tried to use the hole through them to yank and slam them apart, nope.


Idk what to do now...

Could you maybe get a bit of WD-40 or other light oil inthe joint? Might be enough to get them sliding.
