Hip roofs four sided roof design are more aerodynamic and inherently more resistant to uplift forces of high wind than gable end and other roof designs.
Consider wind resistant metal roofing.

Additionally with the roof and floors built using a radial truss array that allows any potential energy from sustained winds to disperse across the entire.
The whole point of buying a wind resistant gazebo is to make it as sturdy as possible.

If your home has a gable roof two sided pitched roof the end wall takes a beating during a hurricane and typical framing methods create a vulnerable hinge line at the joint between levels.
Roof overhangs are subject to wind uplift forces which could trigger a roof failure.
Roof design for proper wind resistance.
Improper attachment results in the increased probability of wind.
A good gazebo for wind will be heavy and sturdy and should have fixing or anchoring points built into the design.
Some metal roofing can withstand winds of more up to 150 miles per hour more than most homes can handle.
