$449.
Almost same price as canvas.
Thoughts anyone ? I did buy one, however they didn't have one on display so i took a leap of faith ( lol ) Im setting it up tonight.
What would you do in fall to ensure it can handle the snow load ? and of course wind.
Should I caulk it to the panels stay firm ?
Lastly, I realize its hard to tell by the picture, however:
1.it comes with a mosquito netting but not privacy curtains. the netting is on a pole like shower curtains. If I wanted to DIY a way to add my old curtains from canvass gazebo, how would I add another pole ?
2. Would you add some support for winter, and if so - what would you do ?
3. People have suggested a tarp on the top to spread the load in winter, however how would you tied it down. Others say to put a 2x4 in the middle to support the top. This makes sense.
Anyways, just interested what people think of these ? I couldn't pass up the price as canvass ones are about the same price, and I am sick and tired of taking the roof off in the fall as it starts to rip being so brittle after 4 years of use.

UPDATE: I got it installed with the help of my 9yr old daughter. She was tightening all the bolts. They were right, I needed 2 people. Seeing as there were about 60 of them it gave me time for a few beers. lol.
One thing I noticed ( coming from a canvass top ) is that it gets hot inside this thing. The panels take away the direct sunlight, but man its toasty :-( I may just replace my light for a fan / light combo.
This thing is stable once screwed into my deck. The panels also seem to solid in place.
