It's not very sturdy from my friends experience. They also sell them on amazon.
The plastic is quite rigid and it's more like a tent.

The frames can be ok but the covers are the problem. They usually only last a couple of seasons. You'd be better off saving and getting the real deal.
Or there is the DIY option which is quite cheap and better than one of those in your link ...

Yeah I was just asking cos i saw someone on Facebook had bought one and it looked flimsy enough,
I had a thought though, when the cover eventually tears or whatever, would covering with a brand new high quality guage plastic be ok?
Obviously you end up paying for 2 lots of plastic, just an thought that popped into my head.

It might work out cheaper doing it that way. You'd have to work out for yourself if it was advantageous over buying a full 'proper' kit. Everyone's wallet is different.
