do you have a 10' suncast gazebo with a "slat" roof. Due to winds here, we do not want a solid roof but need some overhead structure

if installed correctly ther should be no problems ive experienced 30 to 40 mph so far so good

This my OPINION ONLY based upon having one. Mine is attached to my pavers (there are concealed mounting brackets at the base of all four legs of the gazebo) and has stayed put through all four seasons (I live in the midwest) including high winds, heavy rain, hail, and over a foot of snowfall. For a wooden deck - two considerations: 1) This gazebo is heavy - can your deck support this kind of weight AND guests or snow? 2) Support structure - if the wind does kick up and tries to lift the gazebo, is the deck structurally strong enough to stay put?

We bought 10x10 from http://amazon.com. It is good quality, try this link: 10'X12' GAZEBO REPLACEMENT CANOPY TOP

it depends, 1 per leg of the gazebo is fine, but if its windy out no matter how many you buy it will blow away unless you have it staked to the ground. i have 4 of these square weights plus 2 sand bags per each leg and it was no match to the wind.

I used this sun shade last summer with excellent results. There are indeed grommets in each of the corners through which you can thread a rope to suspend it over your patio.

I take mine down each fall. I live in MD. Be careful taking it down as I ripped mine accidentally. Wind is my concern-- FL has storms and you don't want your gazebo in your neighbors yard!

I was concerned about that myself when we purchased the shelter. We live on top of a mountain in the country and have had wind gust up to 50-60 mph this winter. We have had absolutely no problems with it. I did put it by a row of trees to help protect it and staked it down with additional re-bar and clamps. the canopy and structure have held up well.

If it is what I consider a "standard gazebo" built of wood, it should be fine. Ours is bolted to a rafter in the barn.

Susan: Next time do what I did not do, believe the info from prior users. Mine is bolted to concrete blocks and fortunately has survived the summer. However, my gazebo on the lower side of my home procted from north and west winds the usual source of weather. I will never buy the 10x13 unit from this company again. Very cheaply made, my guess is I'll need a new unit next spring.

Yes you can, strong winds do present a problem,although we solved this by purchasing two sets of weights that are made to fit around the legs of the canopy. Each set consists of 4-5lb weights so we now have 10 lbs on each leg. One set runs about $35 and are available on Amazon.

As long as your gazebo is structurally sound, you should be fine. It weighs less than 15 pounds.

It is built with a good anchoring system, but I have not had to use it under extreme conditions such as high wind. Apart of the design that I found to be a problem is the angle of the walls. The way the walls are angled in from the base does not for allow enough coverage from rain. Even a light rain. If they were to increase the dimension of the roof, a little closer to the dimension of the base; more space would be useable inside the tent when it rains.

It really is made for an easy up structure. Our easy up is not as tall as this one - but it works. I think of gazebo as an 8 sided thing - and no this has only 4 corners and so the answer would be no, it won't fit.

By the looks of it, I would say no. Yes I bought item but have not used it or even got it out of the box yet. But common sense should tell you, that you don't need a screen on the roof. Bob

I left two outside all winter. We had severe winds often. They are attached to my wood patio awning and a tree. No damage to the wood structure (built like a deck) however one of the shades tore at the corner. The other weathered everything and is still hanging.

I live in southern Ontario in the Niagara Peninsula. Infrequently we get storms off the lake that can bring in 16-18" of snow. This year my Penguin gazebo had about 12" of snow and slush on the roof. Not sure what the total weight was but I believe in the installation booklet somewhere it says it can handle about 1200 lbs load. Anyway it has not been a problem over the three winters since it was installed. The only issue I have had was into the 3rd year, hail pellets penetrated the outer skin of the corrugated roofing panels. Penquin replaced the panels with proof of purchase; very good service. Light snow should not be an issue, but if it gets to 30" I think I would try and get some of it off the roof. I suppose you could calculate the weight of one cubic foot of snow and then extrapolate to the surface area of the roof allowing for 3 feet of snow depth. But there are many variables including the wetness of the snow etc. It might be possible to reinforce the inside of the gazebo during the snow months with temporary vertical braces but I would not recommend drilling any holes into the roofing supports.

There aren't specific poles for that purpose but the structure of the gazebo makes it so that you can wrap things around the top frame. I added a string of outdoor solar lights just by wrapping the cord around the frame and securing with twist ties. I imagine with a lightweight material, you could add curtains. You might have to be a bit crafty to get it to work right. Hope this helps.
