gazebo

[wookie]

I'm looking for a pop up gazebo waterproof & sturdy and not blow away down the road!, looking to use one on a hard standing, anyone got advice on a good brand, looking for one about 3m sq with the detachable side panels.

Many thanks in advance.

Wookie I got mine from Towsures in Sheffield £150 with the side screens same contstruction as a eazi-up but because I bought from a caravan shop there wasn't bthe usual 50% motorsport mark up involved

Clicky,clicky

Cheers Buzz, Towsure are sold out of the one i'm after until March, anything like this any good? do you have to weight the corners still if its on a hard standing or are these ones pretty sturdy?

That one on e-bay is crap - you can get them for £19.99 from Aldi's etc they're just tent pole things that push together    

I got a green one like Buzz's from Towsure - much betterer

Wookie With these things its worth taking time and having a look at the contstruction as well as the gauge of the metal used. The one I bought from towsures is pretty good altho' I still tie it down to be on the safe side,cos' once a gust of wind gets a grip, you could end up in Northern France with your gazebo! Well thats if the RAF don't shoot you down!.

I spent around £30 on one and it was ****e. I used it for the 1st time at Harewood a couple of years a go. We had a thunder storm. The gazebo was hit by lighting and Ade Terry who was holding it down at the time trying to stop it blowing away He wasn't impressed. The thing was knacked after that mainly due to the wind not the lightening strike; which was extremmely funny altho @ Ade didn't think so! he looked a bit chard!!

The RAF haven't shot anything down since Korea in the 1950s. (well, except for one of their own in the 1980s, but I'm sure that was a mistake)

wookie, i bought mine from b and q last summer, it is easy up design and when i compared it to genuine eazi ups at meetings it was of equal quality.cost £70. the 1st one i got was £40 from asda, it was crap, it snapped when i first used it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You should check these out too EBAY LINK, I bought a 3x4.5m from then a few months ago and it's very good quality and includes all side sheets. I have trouble believing that you'll get the same standard for £70   but you never know !

Good luck finding one

[Buzz Billsberry]

Simon is it me or does it say £220 for 3x3m ? and not as u suggested have you got a link to the correct page?

Cheers

Well there was the American Herc in the 70's shot down as a deranged yank tried to fly home from the UK

Al don't say that I'm going to the States in September do you know if this guy is still alive and flying ?  Mind you he'll probably be the Commandeering Chief of the Homeland Security Air Force!!
