Bought this to make extra room in the garden,for a social distance small family gathering.it was a nice extra space.i put up 1 panel. I kept the gazebo up and have used this every day to sit in the garden under the shade,when it was scorching hot,it is water proof have used it when its rained, the only problem is when it rains the water doesnt run off it forms in large  pockets and has to be pushed off the gazebo.
