Thanks everyone for your feedback.
Marie,
The side panels are 5/16" ABS panels and are surprisingly bendable.
It's the round shape that gives the feature strength. After looking at the pictures, I think I'll paint the posts black after the rains subside.
I'm headed to
Mystic Koi in an hour or so to pick up my Shiro's. I'm worried about getting quality photographs of the koi today because of the weather. Rainy! No sun! Heavy cloud coverage. I might have to set up some lights for the photo shoot.
