The materials and hardware genuinely earn the “Pro” label — everything is beefier, sturdier, and gives off the sense that it’s built for real use, not just ideal conditions.
For context, the photos I’ve shared are from my first-ever setup, not a practiced or staged installation. I haven’t taken it through true winter weather yet, but even on day one, a few things stood out:
