That looks pretty sturdy. Our neighbour has a fold-up gazebo, but it just got trashed by the wind as they left the cover on. I've seen some more permanent ones that have movable slats on top to let the sun through, but they are obviously more expensive. I wouldn't want to be buying a new one every year as that adds up. We have a big umbrella on our deck that is okay, but you have to watch out for the wind.
We had an umbrella, but it only managed to cover a small portion of the deck. I think this one is going to be good and tomorrow I will show some extra stuff I did to ensure it is secure. I know what you mean about the portable ones and the fabric ones. I have a feeling when my inlaws see this one they are going to want one too. It's rated up to 45 mph winds and 2500 pounds of snow since we will leave it up all winter.
