We have had this gazebo framework and canopy top for about five years now. We have replaced the fabric top twice during that time, mostly due to damage caused by high winds. I have also need to re-sew the fabric at the end of each season, at each of the areas where it attaches to the framework, due to stretching and tearing. It isn't the greatest design, nor the strongest material, but it has serviced its purpose well. I have learned to purchase another replacement canopy in the "off" season so I can get it cheaper.
