I'm also no carpenter, so I'd say it's HARD! But not impossible. With a book or a video to guide you, the right tools, some math skills and time, I'm sure you could do it. It's essentiall a box (platform), posts and a connecting canopy. Let us know if you decide to tackle it!

I have a guy friend who is an eagle scout and has done big construction projects before and is pretty handy. I'm already mentally enlisting his help. I think if I could find a how-to book or video it might help him. If I build it, it probably won't be for at least a year, but I love the idea of it!
