Are there any recommendations for trackday gazebos on here, as the choices and price ranges seem staggering!

I'm looking to make trackdays a bit more comfortable, as with the Ute I have to get changed outside and leave the bike open to elements, so something with removable sides would be nice as well.

A few of my mates have the 24MX ones and they seem to have a sale on, none of them have complained about them.

I was just coming here to post the same thing, I bought one from XL Moto (same company I think) after seeing that 50% of the paddock had the 24MX ones, and I'm not dissappointed!

Me and my brother bought one to use as an enduro race tent but it's also been used a few times for bbqs and camping. We've got the walls with ours, and they're OK. Depends on where you use them. Our walls tried escaping in the middle of the night when we were camping last year when the wind picked up in the middle of the middle of the night, but for normal use they're fine. To be honest it's worth the money just for the frame, I'll get another top and walls made if the rip and still be happy with it.

That's very specific!

Yes I agree the walls are very light, the whole thing seems quite sturdy though. I'll have to leave mine out overnight soon, I hope the weather will be OK!

What do these have that a traditional gazebo don't? For camping I am convinced by Coleman Event Shelters are the best available - They are much sturdier than traditional gazebos.

It's the "easy-up" method they use, with 2 people you can have the gazebo fully set up in 30 seconds. You also don't get the "wasted" space near the feet, where others may be too low to do anything with, so they are ideal for busy paddocks.

I would love a Coleman Event Shelter if I spend a few days away though!

Does that actually come with the branding, or is it just plain black? Not for track days, but sometimes for vintage bike shows it's a muddy field and the rain comes on. I've always plotted a gazebo but assumed decent ones would be much more expensive and the cheap ones would be rubbish. But only really interested in a solid colour.

I suppose the other question is therefore how small do they fold up?

To divert the thread off topic, I've had one for years and it's absolutely brilliant.

We had a collapsible one beforehand, but unfortunately a brutal night at Silverstone in 2013 killed it. The Coleman is much stronger, although a lot harder to set up!

I use a 24mx gazebo. For the money, it’s unbeatable. I do have the sides aswell but that day I forgot them. Surprisingly waterproof too!
