Are the patio gazebos for sale sturdy to stand up to leaving out all year round?

I am looking to buy an outside shade structure. They have them at big lots and Lowes for around $200- $300. They have netting to keep the bugs out and provide SHADE! But are they sturdy? Just want to make sure I won't have to disassemble every time the wind blows. Any feedback is helpful. Thanks!Are the patio gazebos for sale sturdy to stand up to leaving out all year round?
Depends on what brand you get. I just put two of them together for a client and I wouldn't trust them to stand up to a good strong wind. Even if they were anchored down I think they'd get torn apart by the wind if the canopy were on them. Without the canopy there is little wind resistance so they might stay together then.Are the patio gazebos for sale sturdy to stand up to leaving out all year round?
generally they come with a stake type fastening system that you drive into the ground. i would say that this type of structure is only recommended for at most 3 seasons i would disassemble in wintery like conditions! All in all you will get what you pay for!!
One stiff wind, even when staked has destroyed several of those gazebos in my area. I wouldnt waste my money on them if you get alot of wind.
