How does the roof stand up to things like falling pine cones (largest: approx 10 in)

It has held up well, although we have not had any pine cones fall on it. I needed my soccer team (8 guys who came) to help me put it up on the four stands.

Too soon to tell but I think the steel is thick enough that they won't do much to it.

Awesome.I have pine trees also...this has heavy sheet metal on roof! It takes at LEAST 3 people to assemble.

The roof is pretty heavy panels. I don't have any trees around mine, so I don't know if it would dent.

It's kinda hard to explain how much it holds but if you have a roof rack you will have no problem putting it on your roof. I have put a cooler, folding wagon, pack and play, and some pillows inside it with no problem. It even rained and all the stuff stayed dry.

The roof is solid wood with this like roofing finish that is supposed to file down their nails if they walk on it. It's a really cute little hutch!

The pole is square and there is about a four inch one into the other, very tight fit, and then the pole is filled with concrete. Mine has been standing solidly, not loose at all. Kids love it and how easy it is to raise or lower.

Hi we live in Portland Tx, Spring and Summer can be very windy here, 3 corners are anchored to the house and one on Post cemented and then anchor to a tree otherwise the post will bend, hardware used ( steel cable, turnbuckles, anchor mounts) bought at lowes... Haven"t had any issues so far, great shade cover.

The cones are sturdy, they've held up well to all kinds of thrashing by a toddler boy, but I don't know weight-wise if they'd hold up to strong wind.

If it is packed full it isn't bad at all. If it is just half full then it flaps around. You have to be more careful strapping it to the roof when there's loose material to flap around.

Yes, only problem I have is that the roof doesn't hold up to snow...it sags and snow accumulates and then drips when it melts. I'm trying to devise a way to make it stronger. Any ideas?

the foam will butt up just under the roof edge. i have only had this produce for 3 months. still testing it

I have had no problem with the seed keeping dry. The roof appears to protect it pretty well. I have the feeder hanging under my Pine Tree also.

we have had it up for a couple weeks at a time, and held up well. Had gusty thunderstorms during that time. I don't know how it would do over a longer period.

I've had it up for months and it hasn't fallen over or collapsed once. It has a support pole in the roof of the bigger area so it won't collapse unless you take it out. The most that's ever happened is the front door area pulls off from time to time as it's attached with velcro.

Not too sure. Havent been on a trip with it where it rained. Had some issues in high wind and heavy rain, but I wasnt hear to see it fall apart. It os set up infront of my loft and while I was out of town there was a pretty good storm and the canopy broke in 5 spots.

I do not think this will stand up to high winds(not sure what high winds constitutes), it can take 40-50 mile winds with no issues as long as it is secured to the ground. Above that I think if anything major like hurricanes or strong storms are coming through you`d have to take of the roofing panels if you don`t want it to get damage. The gazebo is somewhat mediocre(the screws strip out very easily) but it is durable and a great price. There is no snow where I live(there never will be#southeasttexas) but I think it would be fine.

It's sturdy and the surface area of the roof is not that big. I don't think snow load is an issue. Can't say how it will do long term in very cold temps. My brother has a similar unit he has owned for probably 10 years. He has moved it 2x. It is holding up great. He is just north of NYC so below zero is not common. It is not hard to put together, but my 10 y.o. helped and he had to kick something to get everything to line up and he broke off a small piece. It is still sturdy despite that. I am very happy with it.

Have had no issues seems sturdy and does not sag or sink down. Mine sits were water really rushes off roof and no issues so far

The roof has a handle and is easily moved from room to room. It's also not super heavy either. There aren't walls on every side, so stuff could fall out if it's dumped over, but I haven't found that to be a problem.
