There is a prevailing misconception that all gazebos are created equal. In reality there are many kinds of gazebos and their characteristics vary. Unless you live in an arid area or in a place where you get to enjoy pleasant weather all year round, it is recommended that you buy a waterproof gazebo.
When buying a waterproof gazebo, make sure that it is really waterproof and not shower-proof. Read product details carefully to avoid the mistake of buying a gazebo that offers little protection against strong weather conditions.
