2006 Model still standing and survived a 2nd Buffalo winter, May 6, 2007 *UPDATED 3/18/08* Here we are in 2008 after I put my 2006 gazebo together almost two years ago. It has survived extremely high winds of 50+mph and many storms including two harsh Buffalo winters. We even had an early October snow storm which put 2 inches of snow on the top, before I got the canopy off during the storm. The problem I would guess that many people have described with their gazebo is probably not really due to the product itself, but rather what it is placed or mounted on. This unit is extremely difficult to put together and time consuming, the instruction are terrible, parts are sometimes missing and you may even need to correct some of the manufacturing flaws. It will fall and crumble if it is not sercured down to a level solid surface such as a concrete pad or wood deck. I have mine screwed down to the concrete patio and I have not had one problem and my legs are not filled with sand either and remain completely hollow. If you don't have the means to secure this gazebo down, then forget reading anymore reviews and pass on this gazebo plain and simple. However if you can properly assemble this and secure it to a level solid surface it will last and last thru what ever Mother nature whips up (excluding tropical storm type winds). Before winter I simply removed the canopy and it was able to handle the weather. I would not be surprised if this thing is still standing 5 years from now.
