I Constructed this HUGE Portable Garage by myself 36' x 16' x 14' [ Shelter Logic ] Garage in a box

Watch me put together this huge 36 foot long 16 feet high and 14 feet wide shelter ( garage in a box ) by my self, I wouldn't do this again. The shelter was on clearance about a quarter of the original price, so we ordered one online, AMZ. It was eventually delivered by a private delivery company that moves large goods and machines. The shelter came on a skid weights about 500kg or over 1200lbs, we had to remove the tarp box about 100lbs from the skid because the Kabota L2501 would not lift it. This shelter has a zipped front and back panel, designed for tractor trailer, RV, etc.
I lost the chance to get help putting this up but decided to put it up myself anyways before the weather turned bad. I do not recommend putting this together yourself, it became a huge challenge and there were some scary moments. I kept changing my game plan while putting this together, I used ladders at first than supported the ladders with the loader of the tractor. Because I couldn't get up high enough I than built a raised bucket for the tractor, I could stand inside and get right up to the top. I learned a lot what not to do and easier ways of doing this by myself. Even if you put this together with two people putting up the full trusses would still be challenging, without a tree or something to tie them off to. I discovered to not put together trusses, just put the lower poles up first than build your way up with ladders, tractor, and scaffolding. Some problems I ran into - with the front and back truss there is a tube that connects the center poles, the holes were not drilled to line up so that all the center poles holes face down. Simple fix pre-drill the holes so that all center pipes holes face down before putting up, you will thank me afterwords. Another problem was that the bottom pipes that hold the tarp to the shelter two of them did not fit between the trusses, not a big deal just cut off a inch and drilled new holes.
I recommend checking all the lengths of the poles double check top poles just in case numbers aren't printed right. Also when I was putting the trusses together on a ladder a couple holes needed to be drilled out especially the very top poles. I would recommend before putting poles together pre-drill them on the ground especially the curved and top tubes, put them together on the ground and run a drill bit through, trust me it would have made this build so much easier. I could have done this built without the tractor but it would have been more of a hassle, I would have had to make some scaffolding to get up two the very top, the problem is you cant just use a regular ladder because when you lean the ladder up to the trusses the hole thing wants to fall over or collapse.
I had the first two trusses fall over when I tried to pull another truss up against them even though it was free standing, without the wind braces it is very unstable, install them first before adding trusses. Even when you have most of it constructed it is unstable unless it's tied off to things, it sways side to side when adding pipes to one side at a time, so tie it off to whatever even you could even use the stakes provided. I did not show the full build there are plastic blocks that hold the cross pipes and trusses together also there are four wind braces, I didn't show connecting the center poles figured it was straight forward.
