My grandson and I set it up in less than half an hour. It covers a 30-year-old staghorn fern at least 5 1/2 feet in diameter, hangs on an A-frame I built for it, and sits under a huge bay magnolia tree. After easily setting up the frame and trimming some low-hanging branches, installing the cover only took a few minutes. Attaching all the straps and tie-downs went quickly as well. Then we placed an electric heater inside, plugged it in and Whala we were done! Then we sat back, enjoyed an adult beverage and admired our handy work! I commented to my wife yesterday as I pondered how warm and toasty our set-up protects our staghorn and other tender plants from freezing weather. I said it's the best $150 I've spent in a very long time.
