This gazebo is pretty and fits perfectly on my rather small deck, however, there are a couple of issues. The canopy is very thin polyester fabric, so it doesn't offer much protection from rain. I anticipate replacing it with a canvas canopy at some point. Also, the deck mounts provide no wind protection. The mounting plates can be screwed to the deck, but the gazebo frame just slips over projections on the mounting plates with no means of fastening them. It keeps the gazebo from moving laterally, but a good wind could pick up the whole thing and lift it off the deck. We ended up using heavy-duty zip ties to tie the frame to the deck rails.
