This is my second gazebo of this type. We lost the last one to tornado-like storms. I know better than to leave the fabric on when it’s bad out but forgot. The new one seems somewhat sturdier than the last. Honestly this will hold up if you don’t leave the fabric on during storms and take it down during winter months. But this second one, came with a dinner-plate sized hole cut in it for no purpose whatsoever. It should not be there at all. I’m baffled bc the packaging was intact. Anyway, it’s up there now bc it’s better than nothing but I hope to get a replacement canopy at least. I have Velcro outdoor curtains that we use for privacy. Love this gazebo. Hate the hole.
