Can you easily remove the canopy during the winter?

We never took it down we leave it up for all seasons. We fix it permanently .

It's been holding up very well , it's been almost one year since we bought it. We have not taking the cloth down since we bought it, but just looking at it , it would be easy to take cloth ( cover ) down to store it in winter time or to wash it . The only thing you need a long ladder (8ft) with someone else to hold it.

We got it for summer time, we are taking our canopy off during the winter, so wouldn't know...

No I'm sorry. We take our canopy down every year. Never had to replace the frame just the canopy from sun exposure.

We have not had any significant snow since we have had the canopy. We have had it for almost 2 years now and is still doing great. Withstands strong winds very well.

i live in iowa and would like to know how the roof can be removed for winter.

I do not think so. The poles are not steady and mild wild will bring the canopy down. Mild winds and rain made this canopy fall apart. My personal opinion is that this item is not worth it, but if you want you can buy it and make your own judgement.

It is large, and a bit cumbersome to move, but the awning does come off if needed. We are in the South, so snow is not a problem for us. Maybe you could store in under your deck to protect it from the snow? We LOVE this swing and use it all of the time. So glad we bought it.

If the gazebo and canopy are in Florida, and there's no danger of snow or ice building up on the canopy then, NO, don't bother to take it down. The Florida sun will have much worse affects on the canopy than will rain or even wind.

Hi, we had to detach the canopy for us to store inside a boat house. We didnt want to leave it outside. However we havent checked on how it's holding up. Ontario, Canada

The Newport gazebo can be taken down and reassembled, however we suggest using caution so as not to strip any screws or bolts. If your concern is for snow accumulation on the roof during the winter, you may want to consider removing the roof but leaving the frame standing.

Yes, quite easy. I remove mine in summer as ski season is over and I have no use for it.

I'm in Pennsylvania - We take ours down in November and put it back in late March/early April. Snow and ice collection on the canopy I believe will ruin it if you leave it up. But I know what you mean about it being a big job to take down.

Yes the canopy can be folded up and packed away without removing the fabric (and I believe this is how it should be done). It only takes a few minutes to pack it away. You do have to un-clip the corners but that is very simple. I haven't actually used the lights yet, we just use it for soccer games in the winter. I did however purchase the rechargeable battery pack but can't comment because I haven't used it. This is much more expensive than the ones you find at Costco and the like- but you do get what you pay for! I'd definitely buy this canopy again.Cheers

It won't sustain a light snow load. We had 2" of snow and the supports between the side walls and the ridge pole all bent. Also the welds that hold the feet onto the uprights broke loose. I had a similar canopy for 20 years that never had an issue even in heavier snows. The metal part is not as heavy as even the parts of a chain link fence.

Yes, you have to put the frame up first but it's pretty easy. The hard part is securing the ties for the canopy in a brisk wind.

I wouldn't. Not unless you could hem both pieces after you split the canopy. It is a strong fabric, surviving snow, wind, summer sun over 100* but cutting it down the middle would open the cut ends to fraying.

Yes, The fabric top and sides come off very easily - I leave the frame up year round but take the fabric off after the weather gets too cold to use the gazebo for the season. We have had over 40 inches of snow (so far) this year and all is well - frame standing tall and fabric hibernating in the basement.
