This is a great gazebo for a one-day or weekend events only. Not strong enough to leave it assembled for the season! It will crumple and break if exposed to wind and weather. My gazebo lasted one week. One rain storm brought it crashing down and broken into an unrepairable  mangled mess of metal and canvas. Very attractive and easy for 2 people to assemble. Easy to dissemble and store in a duffel bag which is included. Would not recommend using in a coastal area with wind.
