Yes, I had that problem. I put 100 feet of 45N together and it was a nightmare.
And we did fit them on the ground. The problem was that they started okay but
the legs were out of alignment from there on. One section took TWO comealongs
AND a TowerJack to get seated. I was a very unhappy camper. I don't think I'll
be buying anymore.
This was after waiting for a month or two because the sections they had
manufactured weren't good enough. Sheesh, they must've been pretty bad.
