I put this up in my backyard and it didn’t look like it was too sturdy but had a couple rain storms and it worked out pretty well. I’m gonna have to take it down during the winter which I didn’t really want to do but until I can get a more permanent one this will work out well. But it’s a great product and even if I do get another permanent gazebo I’m gonna use this one for travel and or the beach or camping or whatever￼
