I was watching the newly setup gazebo when it is raining and heavy wind is blowing. It is bit of a thunderstorm condition in Florida but the Gazebo was standing still. I am quite satisfied and relieved. However I will not take a chance if there is a hurricane warning in next few months. Only problem I had was there were some scratches happened during the shipping. One of the pole was bend at one end may be the shipping guy handled it wrongly. Overall we are satisfied with this product.
