With Spring and simmer soon to be rolling around, a large percentage of the population will be spending most of their free time in their gardens, enjoying the warmer weather. However, we UK natives aren’t typically the most sensible when it comes to the sun, and the possible negative effects that too much of it can have on us and our loved ones. There’s nothing wrong with catching a few rays, but it should always be done in moderation, and having a cool, shaded area to take a break from all that UV is something that should be on the top of your list. On the plus side, it means that this pop-up gazebo is highly portable and can be set up by just about anyone. The negative part is that it makes it susceptible to winds if not securely fastened down. Fortunately, the product comes with 6 sandbags, 12 metal stakes, and 12 guidelines to do just that. Because of the high ceiling design, the interior feels more spacious than it actually is, and the mesh screen walls that go all around the gazebo allow for excellent ventilation while keeping annoying insects out.

Pop Up Gazebo are fire resistant treated to Meet fire code CPAI-84.Not one you would necessarily consider taking camping, but great for the garden, the 3.6 x 3.6 Pop up Gazebo Tent from ABCCANOPY adds an extra design dimension to outdoor idling, presenting a sun shelter that’s also very easy on the eye. As we said, this isn’t the cheapest pop-up gazebo out there, and for the money I would have expected maybe a little more. It isn’t that this is in any way a bad product. In fact, it’s a very good one, and looks absolutely fantastic, but I would have thought that the sun shades for the sides could have been thrown in with the price. There is nothing really bad I can say about the Airwave pop-up gazebo. Sure, it has some minor faults, but for the price you would have to search far and wide to find something that has a frame as stable as this, and includes the extras like the side panels. This is a very good option for a tighter budget.

Running a very close, joint second to the outstanding ABC Canopy product, is this pop-up gazebo that comes to us courtesy of Master Canopy, and available in four different sizes. The 3×3 metre version that we got our hands on will provide you with around 9 square metres of sheltered space, so probably enough to house 6 people sitting very comfortably on garden furniture, or 8-10 standing more closely together.

An inflatable option, there are no pesky poles to be bothered with or even anything to push into place. Simply pump it up with the included two-way double efficiency stirrup pump and pressure gauge, and watch the Berghaus, complete with four zip-away doors (two of which feature mesh windows and curtains) and skylight roof panelling, arise before you and any envious neighbours. Coming complete with four leg weight bags, all pegs and guy ropes, plus a carry bag with wheels, it’s also ideal for camping. If the pop up gazebo is being transported often in a vehicle, we strongly recommend not leaving the canopy attached. Vibrations and shaking during transport can cause the frame parts and joints to rub against the fabric and PVC coating and thus inflict damage to the canvas. The large 3.6 x 3.6m shelter provides a shaded area for up to eight people and associated furniture, while the four removable zippered mesh sidewalls, complete with mosquito netting, protect from sunshine (UPF 50+) and rain. Thinking a nice gazebo is just a little bit out of your price range? Well, you can stop right there and take a look at this cheap pop-up gazebo that is pleasing a long list of customers. With its smaller dimensions, it is also a good choice for those of you with smaller gardens where space can be limited.

Size: When determining the appropriate size for your gazebo, you’ll want to think about where you will be installing it and what you plan on doing under its shade. For instance, do you just want a shaded area to sit with friends and family, or will it be used for large dining affairs? You’ll want to ensure the area you select is free of any physical obstructions and the ground is flat. Many of the gazebos included here will require at least two people to assemble and install properly, though some of the instructions call for upwards of five people teams to help with install.Finally, pop-up gazebos also pop-down, because they’re only meant as a temporary structure. Some manufacturers recommend you do not leave them up overnight, others of a more sturdy nature can reasonably stand for longer without succumbing to the various ravages of nature, but while hardtop gazebos can stand all year round, this is a definite no-no with the pop-up! The frame is really smooth and easy to erect, requires no tools at all thanks to the ring-pull clamps, and only took me and the wife about 15 minutes to get the whole thing, including the canopy, up on the first try, and less than that on our subsequent attempts. It is made from strong metal, and is a step above a lot of other models that I‘ve tried in recent years. If you like the idea of an inflatable gazebo, but without quite such a hefty price tag as the Berghaus Air Shelter, then the Eurohike Genus Shelter V2 could well be the answer to all your camping or festival prayers. Once the gazebo frame has been extended, place the gazebo canopy over the partially open frame and align three of the four corners. Lift the frame by the lower part of the truss bars until the frame of the pop up gazebo is fully opened. This should make the frame fall into place. Given the range of sizes of gazebos that we sell, it may take 2 or more people to help erect it. Shape: While shape is largely an aesthetic decision, there is some practicality to consider when determining which shape is most suitable for your home. Rectangular structures are usually easier to set up and come in larger sizes to enable more room for coverage. Hexagonal, octagonal and round look classic, but may be a bit tougher to install and fit items underneath.

The first step to erecting a gazebo is to fix the canopy to the frame. Make the frame stand up and adjust some weight to one of the four corners, before stretching the entire frame out. We do not recommend leaving the canopy attached to the frame when transporting your gazebo. Leaving the canopy may save time for some, but once you become familiar with the system it only takes a couple of minutes to remove and refit the canopy At 3.6 x 3.6 metres, this is a good sized gazebo and there’s plenty of space for adding chairs and a table, even with the netting or curtains drawn and zipped. The highest point of the ceiling is quite impressive too, at least from the outside, but the metal from inside is obviously lower. Still, it is spacious, and can easily accommodate 4-6 people. Style: For the canopy, you will see hard-top or soft-top, with hard-top being preferential for all-season use in areas with more wind or inclement weather. Some gazebos are permanent fixtures that anchor into the ground, while others can easily pop up and be disassembled for easy storage when not in use. Some of the soft-top canopies have removable canopies as well to remove during the off-season. Pop-up gazebos are generally made with lighter materials to allow for portability but the trade-off is they are usually less durable and stable. Also, it may seem obvious, but always make sure your gazebo is secure, tethered down by the supplied tent pegs and guy lines, otherwise the wind might take it on an unexpected and possibly expensive trip.So, with that being said let’s take a look at the best-selling pop-up gazebos to see if they live up to the hype, and are worth investing in. Best Pop-up Gazebo Buyer’s Guide Solid and sturdy are how I would describe the frame on this pop-up gazebo. The combination of iron and steel components gives it a lot of strength and stability, while the powder coating has also been done well and should help to fight rust for quite some time. The frame height is adjustable through three settings, but unlike the ABC Canopy gazebo that had metal ring-pull clamps, this Master Canopy model used push button ones instead. I know there will be people who will prefer this mechanism over the ring pulls, and there are good reasons for that, such as less chance of catching your skin by accident. However, personally, I always prefer metal to plastic for things like this, even if the plastic is really good quality like on this product. Made from 500 denier polyester and having PU lining and heat-sealed seams, the canopy is exceptionally quality for the price and I was impressed by the attention to detail, such as having reinforced parts where it would come under the most stress when stretched over the frame.
