I have the Home Depot Arrow gazebo for 3 years and needed a replacement cover. First of all it is hard to find a replacement, so when I came across Garden Winds, I ordered it. I have the original stickers so I made double sure this was the replacement. Ground shipping cost me $13 and was here in 4 days. The description specifically says better fabric than original. It wasn't. It is the same stuff as original. The top tier was too small and didn't fit. I got it to work by leaving one of the four spines not locked into it's holder. The bottom tier fit. It doesn't even keep a mild rain out as good as the original.

I could send it back, but I would be out $25 and no cover. It works but I'm disappointed. Maybe it will stretch out. I could buy the same gazebo new for $200 and get all new metal, covers, and side nets. Doesn't seem right does it.

Fits just fine, and the canvas material seems actually heavier than the original. We had no real difficulty installing the cover, but a set of instructions would be nice (and is not included in the box). The company shipped our canopy very quickly. I would not hesitate to recommend this cover or the company based on my experience with them. (FYI, if you live in a "wind-tunnel" area like we do, releasing half of the canopy and allowing it to move freely when the gazebo is not in use will help prevent wind damage to your canopy or gazebo frame.)

This cover was exactly what I needed. The description was vague but the gazebo cover was an exact replacement for the Home Depot 10'x10'Gazebo with manufacturers model #61821. Perhaps the manufacturers model# wasn't mentioned because the unit has been made by more than one manufacturer. It fit perfectly. There are no installation instructions but with some thought it isn't difficult to install in place. It does seem a bit expensive but I didn't have much luck finding one I was sure would fit anywhere else. I'm going to buy another one so that I'm guaranteed another replacement when this one wears out.

I purchased the unit from Home Depot three years ago for $200. and the velcro tie downs were starting to rip away from the top. I decided to see if there was a replacement and there was for $100. I have removed the old top, put on the new top and it fit exactly as it should. Very pleased.

The replacement canopy was exactly what it was supposed to be. Home Depot does not know that the replacement canopy is available for the gazebo they sell.

The canopy began ripping at all of the tie down points within the first 7 months. I would only recommmend if you are surrounding by trees and not in an open area.

The cover lasted three summers in western PA. It was hard to find a replacement canopy. I paid as much for canopy as the original purchase. I like the corner supports complete with shelving. I had hoped the canopy would last longer but am not dissapointed either. I do not use the screening as we do not have a bug problem. Installation of the cuppola can be a brain-teaser.

Do not buy this product if any rain is going to touch it as it will pool and droop on all sides. There are some divet holes for drainage or something but not in the right places. This is a design flaw! AND the material cannot withstand, or stay firm, enough for rain to roll off. There must be missing parts too because the top in the middle is droopy, nothing to hold it up.I will also add it faded imediately in the sun, on first day to be exact. A complete waist of my $100

I love my gazebo, and it held up well for 3 summers. Last fall a 60 mph wind day did the fabric in (reasonable considering I still haven't found my trash can). I anticipated getting a replacement that was of significantly better quality than the original, given the $150 price when a complete new unit is $210. Having the old fabric and comparing the two side-by-side I have difficulty telling the difference. The netting looks different but on day 2 a little twig fell out of the tree overhead and punched a hole so net material is not tougher either. The canopy itself went on ok and the loop fastener strips are sewn better but I had to cut them or the overlap prohibited them from being tight enough to do anything. Even so, rainwater pools in one panel of every side. The drain grommets are too far up and the fabric is not taut enough. I learned from another customer to put additional grommets where they should be helps so I will have to take it apart again to do that. In summary, for the price I will buy a whole new unit next time and keep the extra frame parts as spares.

I have this for about 4 years. It is very pretty but the canopy is not durable at all. I have had to replace it 2x & it is just as expensive as buying a whole new gazebo. I have taken the canopy in & stored it during winter & it still just fell apart when I was taking it down. It has also rusted in certain spots, on top of me rustoleum it.
