said corner posts respectively attached to said rain-water gutters and said top rails;
a plurality of double-U-shaped-end covers
respectively slidably coupled with said corner posts
for allowing access to said corner-post inside,
for allowing the installation of electrical components on said corner-post inside,
for allowing the supply of electricity to said four-device-in-one splash-and-drip-eliminating gazebo from said corner-post inside, and
for removably covering and protecting electrical components on said corner-post inside;
a plurality of post-locking top-rail slots
respectively molded into said top rails
for lockably fastening said corner posts to said top rails
to keep said four-device-in-one splash-and-drip-eliminating gazebo from coming apart,
for automatically guiding said corner posts into said post-locking top-rail slots
to make assembly easier, and
for keeping said corner posts plumb
to prevent said four-device-in-one splash-and-drip-eliminating gazebo from twisting;
a plurality of top-rail-locking post slots
respectively molded into said corner posts,
said post-locking top-rail slots respectively inserted into said top-rail-locking post slots,
