Manufacturers recommend that gazebos should be taken down in anything more than light wind, but we know that most people don't do this. Upgraded Fabric: The improved fabric is UV coated to reflect 99% of harmful sun rays and water-resistant. As well as being a doddle to put up and take down, a good gazebo should be able to handle a bit of wind and rain too.

So, while it will provide enough shelter during a drizzle or a light shower, it’s not going to keep you dry in a downpour, especially if there are several people standing underneath. If working on your own, the action of unfolding a pop-up gazebo is a bit tricky, you'll need to work your way around each corner of the gazebo, teasing the structure out until it's fully extended. Gazebos are an excellent way to provide your family with a shaded ‘time out’ zone, and to make your garden look great at the same time.It is made from strong metal, and is a step above a lot of other models that I‘ve tried in recent years. I was happy to see that there was a good height to the edge of the gazebo (at its tallest), as with many others I felt I had to duck slightly to get under it. It isn’t a lot, and it does have to rain quite heavily for it to happen, but it was something that we noticed when we tested ours, so probably not a great idea to leave it out all autumn and winter with cushioned garden furniture inside unless sprayed with water repellant first.

At the end of the day, it would probably just come down to whether you preferred the ring-pull clamps over the push button ones, or vice versa, as there is very little else to decide upon. Whether it’s a work conference, a wedding or a kids’ birthday party, a canopy tent can protect you from the sun, wind and rain. These bags, once filled and attached, actually do an excellent job of providing additional support to the frame, and when combined with the easy to stake feet, you have yourself a gazebo that can hold its own against those strong gusts. For mobility, this carry bag has been fitted with small wheels, and while they aren’t the biggest things in the world, I was happy for them when moving the 6ft long case across the garden and back to the shed. However, don’t let that put you off, as you could easily purchase sides to add on to this gazebo if you wanted more protection from the elements.Upgraded Package: Includes 3x3M Pop up canopy frame + Canopy tent top cover + Roller bag + 4 Weight. If you’re looking for something a little special that will stand out from your neighbour’s gazebos, and you don’t mind forking out a little more for it, the Alvantor screen house pop-up gazebo is sure to turn heads. The whole thing can be done in 15-20 minutes with a bit of help, even if the instructions that came with this product could have been better. Although one person could possibly put this gazebo up on their own, I would highly recommend having at least two or more people when initially assembling it.
