Very easy,sturdy(could use stronger clips) but very unhappy with the rust that appeared only after 1hr in the pool. Aluminum and stainless should not do this.I found out that the bolts weren't stainless as you can pick up with a magnet.So off to the store to buy 16 of these, I don't want to return product, I am happy with everything else. So much for stainless from China.Do not use in pools,corrosion sets in bad aluminum, ok for docks on lake with no chemicals see pict of aluminum corrosion, from chemicals
