I got it in August and it held up during strong winds, I secured it with sand bags and then it survived the winter too but, it didnt survive this record breaking spring snow storm in denver. We got 2 feet of snow and that took out my gazebo! My top is stretched so tight that I do not believe I could have taken off the top before the storm I can not do that myself so it fell down and the metal bent ruining it. I bought the warranty so will see what it covers
