Buying Guide
Introduction
This page features what we term ‘standard gazebos’ these are gazebos normally with a tubular steel frame with a material covering forming a roof. This type of gazebo is great for creating a bit of shade on those hot days and is great as a dining shelter for BBQs and picnics. There is a wide range of gazebos on the market, many of which can be bought on the internet. The guide below provides some advice on what to consider when you are buying a gazebo:
Construction and assembly
The gazebos on this page are all erected by connecting together a series of tubular steel poles which form the rigid frame of the gazebo. The roof is then spread over the frame and the complete structure pegged down for stability. These type of gazebos normally take around 20 minutes to erect and require at least 2 people (4 is better).
Waterproofing
Most standard garden gazebos are designed to provide shade in hot weather and most are not designed to give protection from the rain. While most gazebos will give some element of protection from a rain shower, if you’re looking for protection from heavier rain, make sure you go for a gazebo specifically designed to be waterproof.
Size
Gazebos come in all shapes and sizes – the smallest we have on this site are 2.4×2.4m in size, which would accommodate 2-3 people comfortably. Generally 3x3m is the standard size of many square gazebos – this size would comfortably accommodate around 4 people.
Weight/Storage
The gazebos featured on this page are generally designed to be used in a garden and so are not designed to be carried or transported large distances. As a result they tend to be fairly bulky and quite heavy. If you are looking for a light weight gazebo that will fit in a back pack, have a look at our travel gazebo section.
Side panels
The more luxurious gazebos feature side panels as well as a roof which provide some protection against cold winds and rain.
Price
Gazebos range dramatically in their prices. The cheapest of the cheap is currently out star buy from Argos – only £14.99 from Argos. At the other end of the market are the luxury gazebos which can cost upwards of £300.
Gazebos on this page include: Standard, square, rectangular, hexagonal, water proof, water resistant, luxury, with sides, with windows, small and large
