Does anyone have any experience of a heavy duty gazebo or canopy to cover a carpark spot? I have an assigned place but it's under a tree (sap) - it needs to stand up in all weather however it is a walled carpark so it doesn't have to be fort Knox.

Thanks

I keep a Gazebo up all year in our back garden through all weathers.Biggest problem is holding down the guide rope/strings, best way is to fit rawl bolts into the ground to afix the ropes.

A lot of the detailers use these - worth asking them for their opinions on what holds up best in wind/rain...

Tree is not mine... it's in a conservation area and tree wont be going anywhere - as for car cover; it's a hassle doing that every time - also, they can damage the car; so I've been told.

Thanks for the tips guys; good idea talking to some dealerships.

Thanks

Can someone recommend somewhere I can get a 'quick-up' gazebo for outdoor promotional/exhibition work. I dont want to pay silly money because its only going to be used for 1 day a year!

Thanks for that but I already have a really cheapo one. I really need a 'Qick-Up' one that hasnt got a mass of poles and stuff. Also I'd prefer one that can be branded.
