This gazebo is a great item for entertaining on your patio or in your backyard. It includes a full bar that is 41 inches high to fit most bar height chairs. The bar can be used when the awning is in the open or closed position. The adjustable awning is hydraulic assisted, making it easy to open and close for shade coverage. When in the closed position, the awning can be secured into place. The main canopy has a vented roof to allow for more airflow and added comfort. Both the awning canopy and main canopy include water drainage holes to prevent pooling on the roof. This gazebo is both stable and sturdy to last for years of use. Assembly is easy and will take two people roughly one to one and half hours to complete.
