The installation was very straightforward. The instructions were well written and easy to understand. Just like any project that repeats the same process over, the first curtain took the longest. I was able to complete the entire process by myself. The panel for the door somehow came out wrong. It fits the door, but the cutout for the doorknob is off a couple of inches. (see photo) Once they were installed my family could tell a big difference between the temperature on the porch and the outside temperature. We like being able to be on the back porch and view our backyard and pool even though it is too cool to use them. Here in TN it should make our back porch useable most of the year.
