I was so excited about this canopy but after one month, it ripped! I’m so upset! We took great care of it....if we had a storm, we’d take it down & bring it inside to avoid damage. Even after taking precautions, it STILL ripped! It seems like the sun basically destroyed it. I would think a canopy would be able to withstand the sun. We live in Massachusetts so we only have a few months of hot weather. This canopy is extremely faded and now...it’s ripped. Not happy at all!
