Really? I wonder how hard is it to take off the top canvas when its needed. I would imagine the frame can just be mounted/ strap solid in a spot.
This instructions say:
"Always disassemble the gazebo completely. A partially disassembled gazebo is not stable enough to resist wind and bad weather, and therefore can be damaged
and/or cause damage."
I think that means it's supposed to be completely taken apart and not just fabric parts. They are probably just suggesting it to be on the safe side though.
Soft top should just be removed and replaced with a good canvas tarp. Sure, the canvas tarp will be an extra $180-300 but it's still way cheaper than buying a nicer gazebo with a more durable top.

In your opinion, would this top last like a summer? I probably would take top down for the winter and leaving the frame. What other suggested canvas top would you recommend?

Top didn't even get to summer, the mild winds tore it up. I replaced it with this tarp and it's been going strong for the last 4+ years. I have it attached to the frame using bungee cords. I live in AZ and it continues to survive the hottest summers without fail. I can't speak to how well it holds up in snow but it handles heavy rains fine.
I have had to replace a few bungee cords but I have plenty to spare

I re-enforced the frame with Galvanized Steel Pipe across the X's of the frame on all 4 sides and purchased pool noodles to re-enforce the beams of the roof. This allowed me to keep the frame up throughout the summer months without having to take it down for every downpour. The water on the roof with the pool noodles helps the water to run off preventing it from puddling on the roof... Having re-enforced the soft-top gazebo prevented it from collapsing from the rain and wind

I'm sorry... but the idea of "reinforcement" by pool noodle just gave me the giggles. (I know what you meant though - increasing the hold tautness so that puddling doesn't happen)

Thos things are usually pretty taut. So, the problem when you keep putting it on and removing it is the fabric prematurely wears and, eventually, tears.I would only pull mine off for the winter months, but even that caused troublesome stretching of the fabric that made it prematurely wear out. Of course, you purchase what your budget is limited by, but Home Depot has some really killer deals on hard tops/wooden posts this time of the year. If you can afford to shell out $500 - $800, you can get some quality stuff they will last much longer than this.

I agree with you. But this just also mean a hard top (permanent) versus a temp one.
I was just going to use this to add to my deck (not sure if it works) so that I can still grill when it's raining and taking off for the winter so the fabric won't wear out that quick. someone pointed out a canvas tarp (another $100+) as a replacement so it will last longer. That would have to be figured out later down the road.

We have one similar to this and it's strapped down with velcro on the inside. When it's extra windy we just take the fabric off but leave the frame there since it's attached to sandbags surrounding bricks. Also make sure you take them down once in a while and hose the top off if it's near trees. Mold and sap ruins them quickly.

I've never found a single temporary structure that lasted more than a season or two. If you don't want to mess with taking something up and down every time Mother Nature decides to release her wrath, you're going to need to build, and build it well.
Best thing I've found for temporary shade is 15ft patio umbrellas. Which are basically designed to be put up and taken down.
