  Solid Gazebo, looks like it will last some time.
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 April 2019
  I purchased this gazebo after looking through several alternatives as it looked to be quite solid from the pictures – although I have no intention of actually hanging from it.The package arrived in two boxes that frankly looked too small to hold the item, but when unpacked it was all fine and is hopefully a good sign it can all be packed down compactly for storage over the winter.Putting the gazebo together was quite simple, the instructions are good and I managed to put it together with the help of my two sons (11 and 5) within a few minutes.Initially we had the gazebo up without any sides installed, but now have a windowed side and opposite an entry side (with a third side being up against the house and the fourth left open). It looks like any configuration of the sides can be installed, although this is the only configuration we’ve tried.The gazebo has been up almost two weeks now and is holding well. It’s situated on a patio and as is usual with this kind of thing the supplied “tent pegs” I wouldn’t expect to be of much use holding the gazebo down (they are the typical smooth metal), so I’ve anchored the ropes using some bags of decorative stone I have yet to use, and the whole thing is holding quite solidly.The material of construction is more heavy duty than I expected for the price and I expect this (and the Velcro which holds the side panels) to last for quite some time. Stitching seems good.The extensible nature of the legs possibly makes them feel a little flimsy, but anchoring the gazebo takes away some of my concern on this front. Otherwise the frame seems very sturdy.I’m planning on leaving the gazebo up over the summer so will report back if I have any problems but at this stage I’m confident it will be fine.In summary I’m impressed so far and would recommend this item from my experience.

  Fantastic and worth every penny
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 August 2020
  I love this gazebo, quality oozes out of it in the frame, canopy, sides and even the carry bag.Don't waste your money on cheaper versions as it'll cost you more when you have to replace.I have it screwed to my decking and it has added an extra room to my home, my sanctuary away from the kids. It is so sturdy and doesn't move at all in moderate winds.I've had to lower it right down once due to unexpected high winds and it stood up to the battering. This weather was awful it rained heavily non stop for at least 24 hours and there was a bit of a build up on the inside of the canopy (a bit like condensation) but even at that very little water ended up on my furniture. Every other time it has rained not a drop has shown, it's pouring down now and it's bone dry inside so don't let that put you off, I'd just advise taking it down if storm weather is expected.Some other positives to cheaper versions is the warmth due to the thick material used in the sides, its very cozy.Very simple to put up and take down, took me about 10 mins on my own. The canopy fitted like a glove with no worry that it was going to rip. The mechanisms to adjust height are great quality (my last gazebo these snapped on day one) and fixings are behind the casings.Last and by no means least the customer service is excellent, quick response when I realised I had ordered the wrong colour and next day delivery on a new side panel that had a faulty zip. Just brilliant.

  Very sturdy, went up with hardly any effort
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 May 2020
  Wow... what a piece of kit!Arrived super fast in 2 boxes - frame in one, all materials in the second.Hardly needed any instructions to be honest it was all pretty obvious.Slightly opened up the frame, draped the canopy over and located the velcro on the corners and the centre over the middle pole and spread the structure and pushed upwards. Went up like a dream!We have had a gazebo for a number of years but this is the heaviest, strongest and by far the easiest to get to full height. Great push button mechanism so no finger traps or pinches.Enjoying good weather at the moment so sprayed the hose over just one section to see how it resisted the water and it ran right off so bodes well for wet weather. We decided to have it at the lower setting so we could have the walls drape and reduce any wind underneath but it goes up to 3 height settings so the tallest users will have no problem with the height, in fact on the lowest setting it is plenty high enough.We have no hesitation in recommending this gazebo -we decided to pay extra for a durable product and the difference in quality speaks for itself. We put our gazebo up in May and leave it up until September every year so we were looking for something tough and we found it. It is tethered to trees and weighted down with brick bags as well as zip ties to a cast iron chiminea but only because we get some high winds. Have a bit of a blowy night or two and it was stable but we do tend to tether down well but i think this would stand up against a reasonable amount of weather unaided, though i wouldn't suggest ignoring safety.We live outdoors come rain or shine as much as we can between May and September and considering it was early May when the temps were dipping to 1 degree in the night and only 10 degrees in the day for a few days, the velcro seal between side walls means no winds cutting between the side walls as there are with the regular gazebos.... we decided to use only 2 sides unless its very windy or raining, so we pit up two sides only... we hung a third side but then folded up out of the way and secured with spring clamps used on market stalls to hold against the roof sides.. Sorry about the photo, my outside tap was about to be used so one side had been pulled back to get to it when the pic was taken but its a beauty when the sides are in place fully. Well worth the extra. The side walls are heavy duty, rubber coated on the inside and clearly going to be good and strong in winds unlike the thinner fabrics of the standard gazebos..Very happy with strengthVery happy with easy of erectingVery happy with quality overallVery happy with the speed it was delivered5 stars on all aspects so far.... when we get some high wind and rain i feel confident we will be very happy with the materials and the rain proofing but time will tell. All in all we love it.

  Solid, durable, well made.
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 August 2020
  I have been using this now for a couple of months to shelter my gym equipment, after another gazeebo only lasted a couple of days before the wind ripped it, i thought i would try upgrading to this one.It's super easy to install, you will breifly need a second person just so you can apply opposing force to extend the frame, the rest is easily a one person job. The frame locks in to place, you strap the shelter and panels on (see pics)I screwed 2 x feet in to decking and pegged 2 x feet in to mud. I applied gazeebo water weights to the legs just to be safe, but i dont think they have been necessary.This has withstood high winds on 3 or 4 occasions (30-40kmh), plenty of rain and has stood up to the challenge, made it through with no damage, (i only have one panel installed) i wanted to give it a few months before writing a review to give a fair/accurate one, and i can say it is a really good peice of kit, i'd highly recommend it.The seller was helpful too, as the delivery company were pretty slow and unresponsive, the seller did all they could to chase it up, hopefully the pictures help you see the quality etc.Best gazeebo i have ever owned.

  It's waterproof! Well impressed!
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 April 2019
  Very impressed with this so far, took two of us to erect it but was not difficult or laborious. It, like all gazebos needs to be well fixed down on a blustery day as it will catch the wind especially if you fix the sides on. Yes, it definitely is waterproof, the only leak coming in through the teeth in the zips! Have to say that if you are a market trader it would be hard to know how long the Velcro would last with continual erecting and dismantling on the side attachments but I personally am happy with it for occasional use. Well worth the price paid.

  My first Gazebo ...
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 August 2019
  I needed a gazebo for some outside events for my artwork etc ... Firstly when the cover came it didn't fit very well & there were a few issues, so I emailed with details & the company owner got back to me within the hour & was very helpful & sent another out straight away, which was brilliant. At the events the winds were very strong we weighed this gazebo down very well & happily it stayed up the whole weekend, there were quite a few other gazebos that were totally wrecked, so happy this one managed to stay where it was in one piece, only issue was the zips easily came apart & haven't lasted, but again it was very windy .... totally waterproof so very happy with that.... it certainly did the job for us....

  Excellent Product
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 June 2020
  We have had pop-up gazebos for many years and had to change them every few years. We have the gazebo up on our patio throughout most of the year.This Gorilla Gazebo seems structurally superior to any we have had in the past and the canopy and side panels more robust than others.The seams in the canopy are reinforced and have already shown their efficiency at keeping the inside dry throughout some recent torrential downpours.No leakage at allWe particularly like the push button mouldings that make erecting, folding and adjusting the gazebo simple and straightforward.We did originally have an issue when the gazebo first arrived when we found a slight flaw in one of the canopy seams where the reinforcing had not covered the stitching (we all know that occasionally manufacturing faults occur) but as soon as we contacted the seller, Jonathan from the Customer Service team called us to find out what the problem was. After hearing about the seam and seeing a couple of pictures of it he arranged for a full replacement of the canopy which we received very shortly afterwards.No quibble.First class product.

  If it's longevity you're after...keep looking, this isn't the one for you!
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 August 2021
  We ordered this gazebo 10 months ago. When it arrived, the canopy had holes in that looked like the stitching had gone off-track, been unpicked, and then restitched properly. This meant that under heavy downpour (which there was on the week first assembled it) it dripped. We were sent another one immediately, which was great.Fast forward 9.5 months and the canopy has ripped, as per the picture. I contacted the seller again to let them know, but was told that as we'd already been sent a replacement, the best they could do was offer 30% off us buying a new one.We avoided the budget ones because we wanted something we could use for a few years. This one wasn't extortionate and had in the title 'Heavy Duty Waterproof Commercial Grade Market Stall'. I wouldn't say 10 months (for the frame - which IS sturdy, by the way) and 9.5 months for the canopy is concomitant with 'Heavy Duty' or 'Commercial Grade'.If you want something that will last, look elsewhere.

  Sturdy and excellent value - good buy
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 August 2020
  I have to say this is absolutely worth the money.I bought another gazebo that was cheaper but our garden is a bit windy and it was smashed to bits in the first bit of rain and wind.This one is strong and very sturdy. You can just tell the metal fixings are better quality.You should probably put it up with at least 2 people if not 4 to make it a 1 minute job but I have done it on my own once I got used to it.It is water tight and the velcro is really strong on the sides.We've used it in lockdown for a sun protector and sat out in the rain too. We set up a home cinema too as there is plenty of room.It's heavy enough to stand on its own but you should really tie it down with the tent ropes if it is windy.Customer Service was great when I had a question. Really fast reply.Pleased with this. We leave it up most of the time.
