Hardtop gazebos
A hardtop gazebo is a fixed rigid roof, usually galvanized steel in two tiers with a vent gap, on four posts, with curtains and netting on a rail. It is the cheapest way to keep rain off a patio all year and the only gazebo worth leaving up through winter. Choose the roof panel first, then the post material, then the size. The frame changes the maintenance; the roof changes what the gazebo can do.
