How long does it take to remove the canopy in case a storm is moving in?

5 minutes tops. I haven't had to remove it for any storms. It vents well and when anchored correctly, it doesn't move much.

Sorry AR, I never received it... I guess they didn't want to ship it to Hawaii. It was over a month before the transaction was closed and I had to complain three times by phone before I got my refund. Good luck with it, it does look nice.

Removal is simple. I took it down before the winter snows in a matter of five minutes. By myself, it took longer to fold it up for storage. It is a quick and easy job.

We left ours outside during most weather. If it was going to be a bad storm we unplugged it. If it looked like hail, we brought it inside. Otherwise, ours stayed under an old oak tree nearly every day.

A little but the canopy is vented on top for the wind to go thru I get very strong winds where I live and it the umbrella is still standing I do put it down when the winds are really bad but overall it's a great sturdy umbrella I have two

I take my canopy off every year, just reverse the installation process. Not very difficult, gets easier every year. The down side is that these canopies do dry out and after two years you will have them ripping very easy so you need to take care when handling. Good luck!

It only takes about 20min to install. You could do it buy your self if you are strong enough to set it in place, put up the brackets and slide unit in, the 2 drop down bolts. It is so worth the money and gives you great shade when you need it. Make sure you close it if the winds are going to be strong.

If you already removed your previous roof, no more then 7-8 minutes.All ou need is to hand screw the bar in top front, and fix the strips. Really easy.

ours was a bit big, for the canopy. All we have to do is put it down after a breezy thunderstorm. Everything is fine...it works! Just doesn't fit perfectly. If you can work with that, it should be fine. If not, just return it for a smaller size. We're happy we got what we got....it works great for our needs!

The first time I set up the tent, it took about 25 minutes. I've only done it the one time, but it will get faster as time goes. I do have to quanity my answer though. I had no wind, rain and I laid everything out first so I could find it easier.

Once per day until roots are established, you can then remove the Humidity Dome. This usually takes 7-14 days.

We have the same one and live in Michigan. We dismantle and store the entire gazebo for winter. The wet weather and high winds will take its toll on the canopy if we don't. It would probably extend the life of the canopy if you remove while you are not there, even though it won't be exposed to the same weather we have here.

You do not have to wait. The material is good. Downfall is, if you have heavy wind at all, the straps tore apart from the cover and the cover blew away over night. Would not recommend this cover.

Hi it depends. I took some card board and covered it in foil. We can walk behind it after it was adjusted. On a windy day it goes off from time to time

This canopy is fairly easy to assemble, but it would still take a couple of people to get in place. My husband and I had no problems, but it takes two.

We have only tried all the way up and all the way down. we usually keep it down so that we have a little extra space around the canopy on our deck. The best thing about this canopy I would say is that it has been sturdy in 20+ mph winds. beyond that wind speed we just lower the legs so that the canopy stands about 5ft. high and then we add some weight to the tarp itself (plant pots.,etc.) so that the canopy stays in place.

Our gazebo is bolted down. This replacement canopy is MUCH better than the original. We get snow etc. and have had some pretty strong winds and the canopy is holding up. I sure would not worry at all if I lived in Florida.

Needs to be watered in to the ground. Need rain or sprinkled in within 48 hours of application.Thus, during a rain storm would be fine.
