Master cylinder is ok. But things that have technical names... when yoy can use a common nickname for it instead.
Like gate latch... not london style up and over latch
(Old boss... know it all)
 
havent done much more work at the mo, ive just bin trying to stop the gazebo from flying away in the back garden lol

get some old steel rims and slide the legs of each corner through the holes in the steel rim try to use a hole that is just bigger than the legs as then you can use a ziptie or a jubilee to stop the leg from sliding back out.

:) just a thought

I had mine up for a little while until one pole went. It picked a bad day to wind me up... I no longer have a gazebo
yer ive got a snapped one in mine so ive just wrapped loads of duck tape round it. i cant see it lasting the high winds we are suppose to be having this week

My advice from hindsight is take the cover off if you can it stands a better chance as wind can flow round the poles easier
 
When we have one up , we use the pegs for keeeping dogs in a back lawn , ( they screw down into the ground about 9 inchs) then we use rachet straps to hold it down, but andys right if you could take cover of it , maybe evens use it to cover the car the frame wont be catching much wind at all then
