"I bought this $600 Broyhill Eagle Brooke Gazebo from Big Lots. Unboxing and assembly"
As crazy as it sounds I bought a third gazebo within a week. Assembled it hoping that this would be a keeper. Is it?
Most of the gazebos are manufactured by "sunjoy" group and then branded differently for different stores. I will post a link to a newer model with some cool features as this one is no longer available. Also as an update, the canopy lasted one season only. After being exposed to wind, rain, and sun, when I tried to take it off for the winter the canopy ripped apart and I needed to replace it. Since then we have sold the house and gazebo with it. For our next place, I am really hoping to get something a lot sturdier. It is more money but if I have to replace the canopy every season at $150 in few years I will actually be saving by going with the more expensive one. Here is a link to a potential candidate:

I bought one of these about 3+ years ago. It is still good. I take the canopy down when snow season starts. By the way, this year Big Lots is now selling replacement canopies for about $100. This year Big Lots/Broyhill has a hardtop gazebo at double the price. I'm hopeful to leave it up all year, but we had 23" of snow in Denver last month and I don't think it could have handled that. I've invested in a heating cable meant for roofs and a snow rake. I look at an article 2021 best gazebos and some had snow load specs. We will see how it goes, if it ever comes in, I 'm still waiting on it.
