This Gazebo has given us much pleasure in being able to enjoy life outside on our deck that gets the heat of the summer sun from approx 8 am to approx 4 pm.  It took 3 professionals approx 8 hrs. to complete and they did a marvelous job and we have such a better quality of life that cost us the price of the gazebo on sale for approx 1600 for a  12x16 along with the 600 for assembly was way worth the price for year round outside enjoyment for many years to come.  The sturdiness is second to none with a with damage ratio of 60mph we dont anticipate any issues from regular seasonal storms.  We have to pray that we dont come in contact with tornados,duratios and hurricanes
