It is weather proof as designed. I found the support poles were hollow. This did cause a problem during installation. I did alter the instructions when it came to the way the screws were installed. Putting them in from the bottom worked better for me, though You did have to hold the screw with tape o keep it from falling out. It is a nice product and I do recommend it. I prefer steel roof over aluminum as it is stronger and will not turn to powder in the event the coating is broken.

My husband and I...over 60...built this gazebo in one day. It went together very well. It is standing strong against our Santa Ana winds so far. I am very pleased with it and may order a larger one for another area of the property.

Looks great, takes serious time to assemble. Thought the metal was going to be khaki but is black, only curtains are khaki. Our issue was with delivery. It comes in 3 boxes but it apparently isn’t obvious to delivery. The first time we got one box, and had to ship back for reorder. We were watching for the driver the next time and when he attempted to deliver one box again we told him there should be two more. He looked and found one more. The last one came two days later!

Love the product and the price was so much less expensive than buying it at our local store.

This gazebo is nice looking, sturdy and provides the shade I needed. It took my husband and 3 other men 5 hours to assemble . We are enjoying it and would recommend.
