Metal gazebos

For most patios, buy a hardtop with aluminum posts, such as Sunjoy’s Kingston at about $1,100 for a 10×10: the posts won’t rust and the steel roof handles rain and snow. If you get strong wind or heavy snow, spend more on an all-steel gazebo like Backyard Discovery’s Stonebridge, rated for 100 mph once anchored. Steel is stronger, but touch up any chips before they rust.
