Bought this to use over our patio Christmas display setup. Advertised as weather resistant but the rain goes right through the thin canopy material so it provides no protection for whatever is underneath. Had a wind and rainstorm the day after we set it up and it withstood winds of over 30 mph but everything in the gazebo was soaked! It looks great but should be advertised as a sunshade only. Patio furniture left under the gazebo during any periods of rain would be thoroughly soaked. Here in the Vancouver, BC area we get a lot of rain in all four seasons.
I would return this item if I hadn't already altered it by adding eaves troughs which of course are useless as the rain goes through the canopy material instead of running off. Disappointed!!!!
