JJ,
I have owned Ameristep Doghouses, on my second now, since 1998. They have served me well. I realize they are considered cheap by most. But, I get a lot of use from them and have never wanted for more. Other more expensive blinds have not offered the ease of deployment & the light weight. I have enjoyed from the Ameristep.
THIS^^^^ i have several versions and never had a problem other than one torn zipper.
