This should be described as a pop-up gazebo and should be taken down during higher winds and rainstorms. I live in Florida where we get 20min rainstorms that can be particularly strong. And though this was a very pretty gazebo, it tore during its first storm and was ripped up and mangled during the second. Winds of less than 20mph (  we had it secured with deck screws, but it didn’t matter.  This is a great gazebo to have during the dry season.
