They went super and it was very easy. It was very hot and humid weather for the one job and it lasted the 3 days they wanted it to. I did not have to contend with lots of wind either time. I've heard you're not suppose to use in winds over 15 miles/hour. If you can't hand tie it - use an electrical tie. The first one I hand tied - the second one I couldn't - so be prepared with electrical tie. We used a tent stake on the one because it was in an open field - the other one I tied to a tree. One we taped the flags every few feet to the rope - the other one we let fly seperate. I used qualatex both times but have been told it's best to use a type sold by ToyTex - it's suppose to be heavier weight. Notice - I've been told that Pioneer will not be producing anymore 5' until 1999.....so check with distributor. I hope this helps.
