I'd always thought of gazebos as useful but awkward items, great for when you want a bit of outdoor shade or cover but a pain in the backside to erect and dismantle. However, with a fully south-facing garden, little shade and a young baby I perceived that a gazebo really would be a useful thing to have. Thankfully I could have my cake and eat it thanks to a relatively new idea - the pop-up gazebo. We bought our gazebo from Argos and, although it was significantly more expensive than the regular poled gazebos of the same size (we paid around £80 compared to between £15 and 30 for a poled gazebo) it is worth its weight in gold. The gazebo operates ...  Read the complete review

This is an excellent product and after having spoken to others who have them, we invested in a 3m x 3m model in dark blue with a sturdy but lightweight metal frame at the top and easily adjustable metal legs which allow you to have the gazebo at different heights from very tall to very small. We opted to have three plain sides and one window side and we were particularly enamoured with the claim that this could be erected quickly and easily by one person. Well, I'm the guy who deals in erections at our house and I can confirm that I can get it up in no time at all (given the motivation) We have a lovely south facing garden and it's a real sun trap ...  Read the complete review

I purchased this gazebo when I was living with my ex girlfriend as we had quite a lot of house party's and the house itself wasn't very big so was a major struggle to accommodate all our guests comfortably. It was down to the price which was the same as listed above at just £129.99 that encouraged me to purchase this specific design. The garden again wasn't massive and we already had one gazebo up so this was an addition purely to try and increase the amount of space where people could relax without the weather being an issue. The product was advertised as a waterproof design and in all fairness for a month or so the gazebo was 100% Waterproof without a ...  Read the complete review

I do regular outdoor events as part of my work and up until this summer have used the cheaper "pole" type of gazebo from Argos. This year I treated myself to this gazebo from Amazon for £70 and what a difference! It can be put up by yourself although is quicker if someone else just helps you pull open the top but now I've had a pop up gazebo I'll never go back. This gazebo, in smart navy blue, has its own carry bag, sides included and all ropes and pegs included. It is simply a case of opening the bag, taking out the folded gazebo - opening the the "roof" to its fullest, raising the height by pressing in a press stud on each leg and pegging ...  Read the complete review

I got this item in the summer, in preperation for the autum and winter, as a shelter for me when I work-out and exercise outside. I thought what a great idea this would be, to keep out of the wifes way whilst working out outside, but sheltered form the rain. It comes in a box, and I was intrigued by the pop-up nature of it. It must be said it does require two people to put this up, as you have to pull it out from the corners. The main frame seems strong enough, and it has adjustable feet, so the height can be adjusted. The side are very easy to attatch, as they are only attatched by velcro, but they do the job. The tent pes supplied arent up to ...  Read the complete review
