pop up gazebo
Can anyone recommend a pop up gazebo? I would rather use a tried and tested one over a cheaper option and something fast to put up
Thanks

My classic car club has a few pop up gazebos, now 5-6 years old. They do a few events a year, and seem to be lasting well. Supplier has now
gone....
BUT the are really big and heavy when packed.
I am trying to get them to buy some Coleman shelters instead, they seem durable and pack up much smaller. Useful if you have to transport them in a
spitfire (car!)

For my scout group we use Coleman shelters. Fast, durable, light.

Had a Rhino Hex 45 up for 3 years non-stop. Was ratched-strapped to the house to prevent it blowing away. Fabric died after 3 years of being
permanently up but Frame still perfectly usable; keep meaning to order a new canopy...

Before ratchet-strapping it down it did fly away once. Flew about 20 feet into the air and landed the other side of the fence. Was anchored by a power
cord (!!!). Needed one cross-bar and one plastic bracket to repair. (Cracked bracket and crossbar bent but still structurally intact) On issue was I
it couldn't "pop-down". IME Most pop-ups would have disintegrated upon landing. Took me a year to get around to ordering new parts and
it stayed up and in use (strapped to the house now) the whole time.

Can recommend gazeboshop.co.uk poducts.
I havent dealt with them directly, but i have 2 of theirs I picked up used, and they are very good.
Mine are both the 40mm classic in aluminium.

We bought a pop up one for the garden, 3 by 6m ish. Left it up all summer for two years tied to the house and fence. This year the fabric has ripped
(UV degradation i assume). Frame is fine. We deliberately bought a cheaper one to see if it was worthwhile. Now I can't remember who we got it
from to see about buying replacement fabric cover

Yeah this happens even to the good ones, I left mine out for 3 years, by year 2 it was faded and by year 3 it was brittle. Accepted that and bought a
new canopy.
