Aldi Pop-Up Gazebo (aka Paddock Shelter)

Apart from purchasing a fine bundle of questionable German sausage for an affordable sum, I came across a pop-up gazebo.

OK, it's no Hamilton shelter, can't be can it at only £59, but it did look reasonably good - In The Box.

Has anyone bought one of these things, are they any good????????????

I'm a big fan of Aldi stuff but this is the only thing I've ever had to take back.

We did test to destruction though. Anglesea track on a windy wet day. It coped OK with the wind once tied down but eventually it gave way as the canopy got heavy from the rain. Got my money back, no questions asked.

Thanks for the comments, appreciated.
At present, I have a shaped zipped cover that fits over the Jedi and stays put. The car's dry inside the cover, but of course, problems when it comes to working on the thing.

I've seen so many 'kites' rolling around the paddock, even the expensive Hamiltons. The only thing I really should be looking at (I guess) is one of those awnings that goes on the side of the van (sp: Fiamm?). Just not locost, so a dream.
