Does anyone have instructions and photos on how to replace a fabric roof on a gazebo with something more permanent like tin or corrugated plastic boards?

  • Renee, this can be a simple or difficult project. If you still have the fabric you can use its shape to cut out patterns out of the material of your choice. The Coroplast panels would work well, but you need to choose a light color as the sun will cause them to expand, dry up and crack over time. UV rays do a lot of damage as you see with the fabric. You may want to have a roofer come in and do a tin roof for you. Its really not that difficult and would last a much longer time. The only issue you may have is the type of construction your gazebo is currently constructed with. The framing may not support anything more then the plastic or the cloth. Or provide a method of fastening.

    I think you should contact with SunJoy Industries. They are expert in this particular matter and they are also providing quality gazebo designs at a very reasonable price. I hope this will help you.
