APEX GARDEN Replacement Canopy Top for 10' x 12' Monterey Gazebo #L-GZ288PST-4H / L-GZ288PST-4D

I just out this canopy up a few weeks ago. Unlike the other replacement canopy (which was made by the maker of the canopy and only lasted a year) this canopy is thicker, reinforced at the corner grommets, and the seams. I'm so glad I purchased this canopy! It a perfect fit!!

This replacement seems to be a little thinner than the original (and slightly off-color), but it is a much tighter fit and just as easy to assemble. I've had the replacement top on my canopy for a month now and had multiple storms (just had 1"+ of rain last night) and this replacement top looks the same as new. This canopy top is improved as the eyelets are much closer to the horizontal support bar/frame to eliminate the water pooling issue, which was the biggest flaw with the original design. 10/10 would recommend.

The original canopy had some design flaws that made the top sag badly with rain water - grommets too far from the lower edge, needed more hook/loop fasteners along the edges to keep it from sagging, and the screen along the raised center section flapped open and let mosquitoes in. This replacement fixed EVERYTHING on that list! Excellent upgrade, and very happy that we didn't have to manually do this ourselves before we put it up. Very, very satisfied!

At first I was bummed by the color- it is not grey like the picture nor is it the same canopy at all but honestly I’m already enjoying it much more than the original!!! The original didn’t last even a full year & that was with taking good care of it like taking it down any time there was expected winds or heavy rains/ hurricane season. It always collected water & flapped in any slight breeze but since getting this replacement, it barely moves in the wind & the rain (light rain cause we haven’t had a heavy rain since I put it up) , the water just jumps off of it rather than collects. I did like the grey cause it matches my house which was the main reason I chose this set in the first place but the brown is really cozy & warm color in the sun. It was very easy to put together & has only 4 seams which is less likely to tear like original, just really hoping this lasts through the season! Having an outdoor canopy really makes a whole other room to a home. We’ve enjoyed it!

This canopy top replaced are original one for our SunJoy 10 foot by 12 foot gazebo. FIT great. and was easy to put up, and looks good too. There of course as there is with any canopy some pulling that needed doing to get it to fit over the canopy frame. But, my husband managed to get it done. Looks good so far. We live on the coast and so we get a lot of moister, and RAIN, and the first good rainstorm of the season just came through dropping about 4 inches of rain and we stayed dry under the canopy. There is some seepage, and it does get condensation underneath. But, it got too cold out to put the fabric protectorate on, so we think had we been able to do that there wouldn't be any problem. We will definitely buy this again when it is time to replace it.

This replacement canopy is flimsy and very thin compared to the original that came with the frame. It does not really even fit the frame in that the crown fabric is longer than the piece that should hold it from pressure. The sides of the crown are so flimsy that the wind blows them up as you see in the picture. They were absolutely down when installed. Since the crown does not fit properly there is a stripe of sun that comes onto the ground and straight into our French doors. That was not the case with the original. Also, there is no tension on the fabric comes to the corners so they do not tighten the way the original date. I’m going to be calling the company tomorrow and see how they handle this. At the moment, I am very unhappy. Also, there is no tension on the fabric comes to the corners so they do not tighten the way the original date.

Tried several roofs over the years and this is the best fitting roof I have had. It’s nice and tight and the water has not collected on it, the rain just runs right off.

Original cover weathered out and was ripping. So I ordered Apex Replacement Canopy. Exactally what we needed. In fact, better fit then the original! Very Happy! Thanks Again ! A++
