7 x 4.5 Feet Grill Gazebo Outdoor Patio Garden BBQ Canopy Shelter-Brown – Color: Brown

I bought this gazebo as protection against the sun and light rain while grilling. Having the side awnings appealed to me as a way to shield me a bit better from the sun and elements . The awnings will extend the shade by twice the width of the gazebo when fully open. I also like how they provide shade when the sun is low on the horizon, by having them lowered. The design of the canopy allows water to run off easily and not pool. I chose to treat the canopy with a weather proofing spray for good measure, though it does seem to have some initial weather proofing. The gazebo feels sturdy enough for my needs to leave up all season. It doesn’t seem much affected by normal wind and rain. I will probably remove the cover over the winter so it doesn’t get weighted down by snow. I secured it to my deck with lag bolts on each corner to prevent it catching the wind. The cutout design of the canopy does help wind and warm air vent. I found the assembly pretty straightforward on my own, but I’m pretty good at building things. All the pieces were clearly labeled and I was able to follow the instructions. Everything fit together without need for any modification. For the price, I think it is decent. I like the amount of space it provides to work and the 2 side tables for holding things I need. The only improvement would be some hooks, but command hooks do the trick nicely.
