Pop up gazebo
richwill - 13/5/12 at 05:41 PM

Hi guys
I need to purchase a couple of pop up gazebos for the kids football team I coach. I am looking for something decent that will last and survive regular and frequent use throughout the year.
I have looked at various types but would ideally like some recommendations of where to buy them and what to look for.
I know some of you use them at trackdays and trade shows and would welcome some guidance.
Cheers Rich

I got bought one years back when they were in their infancy and it was about £90 if i remember and it is a nice solid affair with a 2 piece leg.

We bought one online for a family member last year for the same kind of money and the quality is crap, I wouldn't be surprised if it hadn't fallen apart already with in frequent use.

This one had 3 piece leg and the wall thickness of the leg material and roof structure was paper thin, very disappointed with it all together.

You are best to get hands on with one before you buy in my opinion.

Our local Costco had a big one last time I was in - if you know someone with a card

The quality of the gazebos is what I was most concerned with. I have a poor quality one which was purchased by a previous club coach and is falling apart.
I have seen some rubbish so far in my recent search.

Not the cheapest but certainly very good shelters http://www.surfturf.co.uk/

Halfords had them on offer in the week

We got one from here

Seems to be good quality, much better than the ones you get for gardens.

Not that easy to errect, they say one person can do it but you need two, ours is pretty big maybe 3m x 3m.
