SNOW: Because aluminum roofs are lighter, they aren’t able to hold as much snow and are therefore more likely to bend, warp, or even collapse.

Our heavy-duty galvanized steel gazebo frames are anchored to the ground by powder-coated anchoring plates and concrete screws, making them PRO-TECT® certified to withstand winds up to 100 mph. In fact, steel is roughly 200% stronger than aluminum.

WIND: Steel is a denser and heavier metal than aluminum, making it a more sturdy and secure option.

Steel, and in particular Backyard Discovery’s galvanized steel, is the premier metal gazebo option for both strength and durability. We’re here to tell you that the choice really isn’t a choice at all. The other two, as you’ll see, are not what they seem. Well…the first one is true, and that’s not necessarily a good thing. You might read about aluminum being lighter, lasting longer or being more resistant to rust. Now the question is, which material should you go with? The two most common types of metal gazebos are steel and aluminum, and you may be torn on which one to choose. DURABLE FRAME: The powder-coated aluminum frame and galvanized metal hardtop roof of our patio gazebo is built to last while protecting you from the harsh UV. So you’ve made the decision to purchase a metal gazebo.
