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.
