I dunno, but I know I'd rather make my own, using 4x4 posts one each corner, then that metal siding stuff. |

I have one that looks similar 10" x 20'. I bought it at Cosco for $199.00 CAD approx $160.00 US. It works great and my buddy's has stood the test of being up year round for 5 years. |

Whether it's cheaper to build your own would depend a great deal on how much of the stuff you can do yourself and do you have all the tools.
I'm with Powaman, that I would rather build my own. Using higher quality materials (not that the sam's club stuff is bad) and being able to make allteratrions like Vampyre, suggested right from the beginning. |

Double layers and screen netting. Sink some metal sleeves into the ground and pour concrete around them. slide some 4x4's into the metal sleeves and booyaka, its legal (technically removable so you dont need to pull a permit). and looks better. Follow the same lines as your house for the overhang and it will tie things together nicely.
Good luck _________________ Hold up....Wait a minute.... Let me put some pimpin in it! mmmmph |

Gone for the costco ones here in the UK, just extended the legs to save takeing the tower down. Side by side, thats a mates SANTE and our X2. Spent a little on the extra metal work but have stood up well so far to our weather.
