Welcome to the firt in a series of ‘retailer focuses’ in which we look at some of the popular Gazebo retailers in detail. First up Focus DIY.

Focus DIY is a well established DIY and Garden retailer with a national chain of 181 stores accross the country. The company was foremd in 1987 and has gone from strength to strength ever since. The Focus Website offers home delivery on a wide range of Focus Products, including of course, Gazebos!

Product Range

Focus offers 3 different styles of gazebo, none of which we have seen been sold by any other internet retailers. Briefly, the models are;

1. 3×3 waterproof Party gazebo with sides – a great value gazebo which is waterproof and has 3 sides included to boot! All this for only £39.99
2. Hexagonal Gazebo – a fully waterpoof gazebos and a design which is unique to Focus, again at a very reasonable price – £49.99
3. Party Gazebo – One of our favourte party gazebos – fully waterpoof, includes sides, and at 6m x 3m a decent size to fit everyone in – all for £79.99

All in all a small but perfectly formed range. It’s great to see that all gazebos sold by Focus are fully waterproof so you’ll never be causght out by the ‘great’ British weather!

Delivery

Delivery is £5 for items up to £100 in value and takes 2-4 working days which we think is very reasonable.

Ease of Use

The Focus website is clear and simple. While it maybe could do with some extra photos of the products, the website is clear and well laid out, if not as flashy as some of the other retailers.

Voucher Codes

Focus does occasionaly offer discount codes offering a percentage off when a certain amount is spent although there a no promotions currently running.

Conclusion

Focus offer a small but perfectly formed collection of unique gazebos at very reasonable prices. The website is simple and clear to use, and delivery is reasonble.

If only the best will do to grace your garden and you want only the best then you need a luxury gazebo. Luxury Gazebos are made from the finest materials and designed to the highest standards to ensure that you get the best out of your gazebo for years to come.

We’ve put together a list of some of our favourite luxury gazebos from some the the best internet retailers on the ‘net. Lets jump straight in with the countdown;

5. Rattan Garden Gazebo

This rattan gazebo from Asda Furniture is a new take on the standard gazebo. The gazebo has a central aluminum core to which the ‘rattan’ is woven. I’ve put rattan in inverted commas as Asda’s range actually uses a synthetic rattan material which allows the gazebo to be left outside without fading or deteriorating.

The gazebo is covered with a stylish cream shade. The gazebo measures 3m x3m when fully errected.

Available from Asda Furniture for £199.99 – click here for further information.

4. Raw Garden Deluxe Gazebo

This is the first of three luxury gazebos on this list from the quality garden retailer, Raw Garden.

The gazebo is available in two sizes: 3m x 3m or a sligjtly larger 4m x 3m.
