Youll need the following tools to assemble: hammer, drill (phillips attachment), Phillips head screwdriver, two wrenches (i just used my hands instead of wrenches). It was a little bit of a pain to get together but nothing that a normal person cant handle. Its durable but lightweight. Rolls easily. Im 6ft tall and there is enough handle length to pull it directly behind me without having to shorten my gate. Im glad i bought this, we have used it 3 days in a row now.
