We have a metal framed Gazebo on our deck,not the first one I might add,with the material top on it.While I really like these,the canopy tops are not very durable.After a few seasons they start to rip and shred.I have to buy a new one soon and was wondering if anyone has ideas as to maybe treat this with something to extend the life of it.Can they be weatherproofed with something? I do bring it in for winter.Somebody must be having the same problem with these,I would think.:sigh:

Unfortunately solar UV is pretty harsh. I know you can buy spray-on stuff for car tops and boats, maybe you can find some for your canopy.
