We purchased another brand of gazebo two years ago. Unfortunately, we left it up during the winter and a severe snowstorm caused the top supports to bend and cave in. I was really upset but when this past summer came around, our Post  Exchange had this gazebo for sale and I jumped on it.

Initially, we had looked at a set which needed to be...
