We get a lot of snow in eastern Washington, so I jumped at the chance to get a lattice protector screen. However, as one person working alone, it took me over three hours to assemble all three sides and get them attached to each other. It helped that I laid all the pieces out, but the front top and bottom rails, and the side top and bottom rails were not labeled. This is an oversight the company should fix, since they label the horizontal and vertical slats. Looking at the pictures in the instructions, I labeled the rails with Post-Its, and this helped. Another reviewer said this, but you must have a power drill. After putting the front panel together, holding it all together, and then inserting the screws, for the side panels I lined up the rails and side posts, and inserted the four screws in each corner. This made inserting the slats easier in one way, though I needed more strength to pop them in. Our cat was of no help, but provided needed comic relief. There is an instruction video on the Wayfair page that I found helpful. I started at 230 and by the time I had all the panels assembled, it was after 500 and dark outside. So I waited till morning to take the attached front and side outside to our AC. I was thrilled to see it fits around our Rudd unit perfectly! I then screwed in the last side. Because you need to insert the screws through plastic end caps, you need a power drill. I am happy with the finished product but unless you are a DIY pro, give yourself a couple of hours to assemble this screen.. Lee. Pullman, WA. 2020-12-29 00:16:56
