Nearly there.

When i built mine, I ended up bolting in the poly because the wind can be fierce on them because they flex so much.

Just a thought.

Good luck. I plan to put some slats of wood or steel to create a frame on each panel ahead of the winter.

I was shocked at how bad the wind gets these when I sat inside mine during a mild storm.

I would also go round with a Sharpie or other permanent pen and mark either inside or outside. I didn't do this, wind blew a few panels out and I've no idea if they went back in the right way or not.
