I looked for weeks for a canopy that would last, fit my space, look good, and not cost more than I wanted to pay. This canopy has met all of my expectations! It is toward the end of its second summer out, and I will be taking down the fabric for the winter. Other reviews talked about how sad it is that you cant buy replacement fabric, so I am trying to make it last as long as possible. When it does finally wear too much, I plan to make a new one myself, using the original as a guide. Ive also considered building a wood roof that could stay up all year. Anyway, I mounted this frame to the pavers on our patio, and the wind has been no match for it. Would recommend!
