Perfect for my requirements, as it will not be used very often and provides shelter on all but foul weather. The material is shower proof and will most certainly leak in reasonable rain. I have had similar Gazebos before, they require care, as the concertina frame will buckle if stressed.
Good for quickly putting up and used for a charity outdoor sale of hand made items
This was so easy to put up. My husband and I did it together. ( Both in our 70’s)
The bags of sand made such a difference and it didn’t move once it was up.
This gazebo is perfect for the summer, and we kept it up in the garden for a number of weeks.
However, there was a heavy shower of rain one evening, and the weight of the water pretty much buckled one of the sides pretty gutted to be honest, and we took it down immediately so there would be no further damage. We’ll probably be able to fix the side which buckled, but I doubt it’ll ever be the same again!!! It had also faded alot in the sun, but didn’t affect the structural integrity in any way.
The material is cheep, in a slight breeze it blows too far into the gazebo and the frame is very lightweight so bends. We only had the gazebo up for about 5 hours and had to take it down. I have asked to return the gazebo 5 times but only get a small percentage knocked off to keep it which I have made clear we don’t want to do.
Easy to erect and sturdy once assembled, we put some sellotape over the numbers on the poles as some of them had come off in the box, once the right poles where used it was a doddle, manufacturer’s might want to find a way to make the numbers on the poles last longer, other than that very happy with the purchase
The fabric cover is a good fit and the whole thing is decent quality. However I think I have identified a potential weak point on the legs. The extension section of the legs is a very loose loose fit causing the leg to wobble at the joint. I have fitted a 1″ x 1″ X 6″ piece of aluminium angle along the joint fastened above and below the joint with reusable zip ties. This strengthens the joint, straightening it and eliminating the wobble which could eventually break the joint. An easy fix and easily removable. The gazebo is easy to put up by two people and, done very carefully, one person can do it by extending each leg in small stages. The whole thing is pretty stable once up especially with the leg mod described above. It is excellent value at this quality and, treated carefully, will last many years. It is heavy to carry so it isn’t really an option for the beach unless the beach is only a very short distance away. I highly recommend this item.
Update Mid Sept and it been up for almost four solid months through every nuance the British weather can throw at it. 100% waterproof. Decent long pegs and heavier duty guys ropes fitted plus an easy extra strap on aluminium angle fitted to each leg on the overlap in the middle to stop any movement damaging what I consider the weak point. Prevention is better than cure as they say. It cheap, quick and simple to do and made this gazebo as steady as a rock. The cover has faded very slightly but that is to be expected. No stitching, frame or cover damage of any description other than the little fading already mentioned. For the money you just cannot go wrong. Treat this gazebo with a little care and respect and it will be become a family heirloom. Oh btw the 3m X 3m dimension is the actual size of the roof cover and not the splayed out feet as many other manufacturers do. Something to consider if you are space restricted. I reckon you need at least 3.25m X 3.25m clear space plus room for extremal guys. You can get away with just using the leg bags if it isn’t too windy.
All in all I consider this probably the best bargain on Amazon and as good, if not better than gazebo’s I’ve seen at three times the price.
If it was free to return, we would have done so, but I would assume the cost of return postage would be the same as the gazebo cost.
Yes, assembly is fantastically easy, completely sheer and looks great – however waterproof it is not .. water is dropping through everywhere and we definitely could not sit under it today.
So I would suggest you only purchase if shielding yourself from the sunshine.
This is our second gazebo, the other one was green.. and no such issues.
One year ago one question was “is it waterproof”
The answer was “our gazebo is made of high quality waterproof fabric and is very waterproof ”
Perhaps the quality has changed over the last year !!
We have a big family get together later in year and have been looking for a second gazebo for ages. The price of this made me wary and at first insisted we bought something sturdier. My hubby wasnt prepared to splash out for something we might only use 3 or 4 times a year. Easter weekend 2019 was gloriously hot and needed shade for our Grandaughter in the garden.10 minutes after getting this out of the bag it was up and pegged down ready to go. Took four of us to put up as it was stiff but think that will ease with use. Very pleased that it came with ground pegs and guy ropes as well as a bag to store it in. Left it up for afew days during which time it rained and was windy. No problems at all. Rain just shook off. Back in the bag in 15 minutes with 2 of us doing it. My daughter in law has just bought one as we were all so impressed. Dont be wary, buy it, its a great product. Highly recommend it.
