Are soft top gazebos worth it?
Soft Top Gazebos are very useful semi-permanent outdoor structures that are more functional than patio umbrellas but are more complex to set up and take down. They actually create outdoor “rooms”, which is a very attractive feature and can also be fitted for mosquito protection, and for privacy as well.
Why are there holes in the top of my gazebo?
Those Holes are for drainage. If the Top cover is not velcro-strapped TIGHTLY to the top-edge rails/bars, the cover WILL sag when wet, allowing water to pool inside that top rail. The holes allow the water to drain before ripping the top. KEEPING THE VELCRO STRAPS TIGHT TO THE FRAME PREVENTS THIS.
How do you protect a gazebo canopy from the wind?
The best way to secure a gazebo from wind is with an anchor kit that has spiral or corkscrew pegs. Otherwise, you could drive standard 12” pegs into the ground and tether them to the gazebo with rope. You can also drill the gazebo into concrete or use gazebo weights and temporary walls to make them more wind-resistant.
When should I take down my gazebo?
