TL;DR

Bay Area microclimates from foggy SF to sunny San Jose mean different gazebo picks per neighborhood. Local guide with anchoring tips.

Bay Area microclimates are no joke. Foggy SF needs UV-tolerant aluminum. Sunny San Jose needs high-quality canopy or hardtop. Wind-prone areas (Berkeley Hills, San Bruno) need extra anchoring.
