I bought one of these in the spring, by the end of year the cover had tore. So they sent me a new one under warranty, well almost a whole cover the ends were missing from the replacement.  Less than  year later that one tore, but they won't warranty the replacement.  So now  I need to buy a cover only 2 years in... Bottom line is, this model is very very cheap... I live  Ga so just sun and light wind no snow...  Save your money and buy  wood building or at least not this cheap that you're gonna replace the cover every year...
