Traditionally we have camped in Expo which has given the ability to a gazebo to a cattle shed to assist in its structural rigidity. However last year and this year we are in Epinettes.

Last year we had a pop-up gazebo, not one of the particularly cheap ones either, however it was trashed when water collected on the roof, collapsing it. So I am now in the market for a gazebo or some other shelter. Minimum size 3m by 3m but probably prefer up to 4m by 4m.

Options appear to include a Gala Tent Pop up gazebo starting at £200 or one of their marques at £200

There is also the Coleman Event Shelter from around £125 plus sides.

What have others tried?

In our experience you get what you pay for with gazebos. Just be sure to get some heavy duty pegs to anchor the thing down. I recall one year having to have a man on each corner to stop it flying away in the wind.
Thats my thinking too, although the pop-up ones always seem weaker than those that arent popup. Thanks everyone for all the thoughts, pondering if I have space for a Gala tent!
