The gazebo is just what i need to sit in my garden to watch birds and other wildlife without being bothered by mosquitoes and ticks. It opened up easily, but i havent tried closing it yet. the anchors and sandbags look as if theyll keep it in place when it gets windy, but we shall see. Overall, im happy with this product. It even collapses on one side to drain rain accumulation from the roof during heavy downpours. Just pop it up after the rain and its ready to use again.
