Will the gazebo take a snow load? If so, how much? I would like something that can stay up through the winter.

Good evening,To be honest these Grill Gazebos are not rated for a snow load. If you keep it up all year long I recommend keeping the snow off the gazebo during the winter. This will for sure protect your investment for years to come.Thanks,John C.

I can say with confidence that yes it will take a snow load but another one of my customers wrote this about the roof..The covering is not glass but a polycarbonate panel - kind of like a plastic piece of cardboard. It's a little flimsy but it does the job.Hope this helps

I have had mine for one year now. I brought it under the eaves for the winter and it was fine. I think too many years in the snow (especially like we had in the north east this year) would do a number, so I would have at least put a cover over it. Note that stink bugs can get in it easily so if you bring it inside you will have to clean it out.

Hi Nancy. The only thing I can think of is using weight bags that attach to the legs of the gazebo. I've attached a link to the ones I fould. I purchased this gazebo and bolted it to the patio and it is very secure. Holes are very small and could be filled very easly. Let me know what you decide to do.http://www.ezup.com/accessories/weightbag.shtmlAllan

If it is what I consider a "standard gazebo" built of wood, it should be fine. Ours is bolted to a rafter in the barn.

Mine works great. I think you will really like it. I love mine. Particularly with the snow this past winter. There is some trial and error involved in installation but not too bad.

Email WPIC Store - Customer Service at service2@wpinnacle.com. We just got a replacement cover from them. Our cover lasted three years and it started tearing because our neighbor's cats liked playing on it. Our gazebo is doing great, otherwise. We like it so well that we ordered two covers, just in case because we are confident the frame is going to last for a long time.Maybe we are lucky in our weather, we live in the LA area so we don't experience extreme weather, though the gazebo has done well under strong winds.Good luck!

I wouldn't recommend this tent in the snow or the wind. This Tent NEEDS to be staked down to stay up (not sure it would hold the weight of snow or gusts of wind. But is has a nice water proof base that comes up about a foot on the edges, so rain is ok.

I have put mine away for the winter but the string runs on all 4 horizontal bars, all 4 legsfor sure and maybe the diagonal center bars. Definitely much longer than 103 inches. The 103 inches may refer to a side dimension of the gazebo

I doubt it would even hold snow. But if the snow did some how build up then no it wouldn't hold.

We've had it outside the entire time, and it has done fine. It isn't very heavy, but comparatively sturdy enough to handle thunderstorms for example. We live in the south, so i can't tell you about snow, but i hope this helps

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.

We don't live in a heavy snow fall area but I moved here from my, so I understand the fear. I think it would be fine. The shed actually comes with three cross beams that the roof is a to. Also, while putting ours together, it fell over and we had to say out portions of it. It's still fine. It did rip in one corner but it was our fault for not screwing it down to something when it git to windy to be out finishing it. So, if it still up after the wind knocking it over, I think the snow will be no problem. Plus it's short enough you could use a broom to just push the snow right off. No problem. Anyway, the cross beams are made of aluminum but they are strong cause they are i beams.

I doubt it's ability to withstand significant snow and will be taking it down in the winter. Otherwise, I'll keep it up most of the year.

April, setting this up in sand might be difficult. It comes with metal anchors that are pounded into the ground through the feet of the gazebo. The anchors are very thin or "skinny" and would not secure well in sand in my opinion. There are however, weights that you can purchase that can be strapped on to each leg that could add some added stability to the gazebo. Search for "gazebo weights". Hope this helps.

Well, i have only had it up for a couple of months so can say for sure. I can say, however, that the two months it has been up has been the coldest and wintery-est we have had in a long time and it seems to be holding up fine. It is quite light, as a unit, but has a broad face so strong winds will, potentially, tip it. What i have seen some folks do on the internet, and i did it as well, is tie it down with a cable or wire so that it stays were i intended to stay.

We have the same one and live in Michigan. We dismantle and store the entire gazebo for winter. The wet weather and high winds will take its toll on the canopy if we don't. It would probably extend the life of the canopy if you remove while you are not there, even though it won't be exposed to the same weather we have here.

Wind maybe, but snow and rain will not run off canopy and cause it to collapse if not removed. I tried to add extra support too help stop water from accumulating but it never worked.
