Re: [MBZ] I wonder how hard it is to assemble one of these?
Do the footings first, with the attach points to bolt down the arches. Build the first arch, stand it up and brace it in squared up position, bolt down the feet, both sides. [make sure the width measurements are right on the mark. Then, build each successive arch by bolting the segments to the one standing up. Two guys on a man lift basket can handle each segment and get it secured into place. Tip, put all the bolts in all the holes with nuts and washers hand tight until you get the next segments in place which gives you some "wiggle room" to fit it all together, then tighten the previous segment. Make sure none of the segment joints line up with the previous arch segment joints, so you don't build a "failure line" into the structure. Once you get it started right, it will go together like a giant leggo set. Also, once the structure is up and bolted down to the footings, you can pour the concrete floor in the shade.

Re: [MBZ] I wonder how hard it is to assemble one of these?
I watch the homestead rescue program from time to time a one of the episodes they assembled one sections are bolted together and then raised into position. Then the next is raised and bolted to the next. I pick a calm day to do it as they are light and flimsy until multiple unites are bolted together. I imagine U tube would be the place to see the assembly process.

Not all that difficult. Bolt parts together to make an arch. Stand it up and brace it while you build the next arch to stand up and attach to the first one. Good idea to have a nice concrete floor with sort of trenches on either side for the arches to stand it so that it cannot collapse outwards.
