Please save your time and money. I purchased this item for an event at my home and followed all directions diligently. All four legs were staked down and the ropes were also staked to add stability to the gazebo. To my surprise we had some wind the day prior to my event and I had two ropes break from the stakes and all four legs bent in half. We tried bending the legs back and no such luck. We also noticed that the plastic pieces that the screws go through also gave way and the screws were popping from the frame.
