Judith Watson on Jul 17, 2016Something that is cheap and easy to work with are canvas painters' drop cloths. You can buy very large ones. Just measure to see how much you need. Also you can buy a water proof spray to spray both sides of the drop cloths after they are installed. I use canvas drop cloths to make many home decor items...bedspreads, curtains, bed skirts, pillows, slip covers, and etc.Helpful Reply

Radha on Jul 17, 2016i would recommend first to measure the circumference of the Gazebo. Buy a garden umbrella as it will give a center elevated look which a gazebo requires. you can then pin it from the top side on the gazebo panels which goes till the ground level to hold it tight. if you do not get the color you prefer, white will look nice or you could spray paint it.Helpful Reply

Sophia,M.,McConnery on Jul 17, 2016Another option is to wash a used shower curtain liner(inside one). Cut it and glue it to a material you want to use for the top.Helpful Reply
