Aluminum frame patio gazebos are great for shade and shelter on your patio or deck. Aluminum is a highly durable, rust-resistant metal that weathers the outdoors well. It’s also quite lightweight, meaning that your patio gazebo can be easily moved or transported anywhere you see fit. But some aluminum frame gazebos are flimsy and weak because the metal frame supports are too thin and cheaply made. The gazebo cannot stand up to wind, or even a light breeze without collapsing. And if you want to move the gazebo frequently to use in different places, or use it repeatedly over years, well…good luck. Supports get bent, or dinged, and canopy durability is always a question. Here’s a few models, courtesy of Canopy Center, that may end your gazebo frustrations.
The frame of this Eclipse II 10′ x 10′ gazebo (pictured at right, in blue) is made of aircraft-grade anodized aluminum, offering high strength and durability. 
The patented E-Z UP frame design helps you assemble and erect the shelter quickly, no tools required. It’s roomy; the elevated center of the canopy peaks at over 11 feet. The telescoping legs can be adjusted for uneven patios or deck floors. Canopies are available in four colors and are made of commercial-grade 500 denier polyester, meaning they’re densely woven for long life. The canopy is also flame retardant. A carry bag is included in case you want to tote your aluminum frame patio gazebo with you to the campground or the beach for a change of scenery.
If you’re looking to host a crowd on the patio, the 15′ x 10′ Aluma Canopy (pictured below right, in red) may suit your needs. 
The frame is anodized industrial grade aluminum, height is adjustable to over 7 feet, and the 500 denier polyester canopy is available in four colors. Tie down stakes, rope, and dust cover are included. This aluminum frame patio gazebo, for its large size, only weighs about 60 lbs. It’s still transportable for fun at parks (regulations permitting) and other outings. Different sizes are available; simply search for “aluminum canopy” at Canopy Center. Also check out gazebo canopy accessories like the heavy duty canopy stakes and weight bags for added gazebo stability in windy conditions.
Now, these patio gazebos are not cheap. These aren’t your $69 Wal-Mart canopies. And don’t get me wrong; I love Wal-Mart! But for what you spend, you make up for it in construction that will last. If you want to use the gazebo a number of times over more than one summer, you must invest in quality. Hey, how many flimsy, cheap aluminum gazebo canopies have you bought and thrown out before you came here? How much did you spend on them in total? Yep…you need to click the links and check these gazebos out. Here’s excerpts of actual customer comments:
“These units are more costly because they are so much better built than the other lines and brands.”
“Impressed…I expect this pop-up shelter to last a while.”

Metal Gazebo: An Outstanding Garden Or Patio Accent
July 23rd, 2008 Subscribe To Our Feed
A metal gazebo is an unusual accent for one’s patio or garden. 
Metal gazebos are visually striking precisely because they are not an ordinary, run-of-the-mill wooden or vinyl gazebo. The shape of the structure is classic gazebo, yet the choice of material - metal - makes it up-to-date and new. Metal is gaining in popularity as a gazebo building material. Let’s check out some of the reasons why you might consider putting a permanent metal gazebo in your yard.
Metal Gazebos are Strong and Durable
An outdoor structure must be strong and durable to withstand the elements year-round, which qualifies metal as a good gazebo construction material. A outdoor metal gazebo may sound rather stark and cold but it does not have to be. You will easily find traditional and contemporary styles in different sizes, even unique custom made designs should you have a specific look in mind. Metal gazebo kits are in vogue with the DIY crowd. Popular metals include iron, wrought iron, steel and galvanized steel, and aluminum. Particularly interesting and decorative are metal filigree gazebos; gazebos that feature finely detailed and scrolled metalwork on the frame elements.
An intricate filigree gazebo in metal (such as the one at right) looks lovely in a garden with vining plants and flowers climbing the sides. Some metal gazebos even come with a weather-resistant canopy that attaches to the openwork mesh roof to offer more shade to guests below. Then there’s that unique look. You’ll be hard-pressed to find another yard with THAT kind of gazebo.
Metal Gazebo Care and Maintenance
The materials used in building a metal gazebo need to be conditioned in order to endure different types of weather conditions year round. Galvanized steel and aluminum are highly rust-resistant, while steel and iron need to be treated or powdercoated to resist corrosion. Rust is the number one enemy of a metal gazebo. If you buy a powdercoated steel or iron gazebo, make sure to not to scratch the metal’s coating as rust will set in. If needed, anti-rust compounds may be applied every year to the gazebo’s frame and parts. Check the manufacturer’s suggestions for care. Follow the instructions and you will be able to keep the metal gazebo fresh-looking and beautiful for as long as you want.
The roof needs to be designed and constructed in such a way that accomodates the weather in your particular locale. For example, if you live where it snows heavily then you need to have a roof that is rated for snow loads or that facilitates removal and drainage. Hot and humid areas may require you to cover the roof with a canopy to minimize heat and sun glare for yourself and friends.
You and your family and friends will enjoy the metal gazebo for outdoor dining, barbeques or get-togethers. Its sleek good looks will complement any style patio or outdoor furniture set and give a unique look to your outdoor entertaining space. Take a closer look today at a metal gazebo for your backyard.
