Gazebo, 3x6m Gazebo with sides, Waterproof Party Tent Marquee Awning with Powder Coated Steel Frame perfect for Parties, Birthday, Wedding, Picnics, Carport (Blue)

I read the other reviews and wondered whether I would regret this purchase. My sons 15 th birthday and I want him and his mates outside and this is excellent. Instructions were clear, all the pieces as required, my recommendation is lay all the pieces out in order as poles are numbered. Easier with two people and build the roof first , fit the roof and then add the legs. Took 20 minutes and it’s very good. We used some gaffer tape to tighten in areas. There are gaps in the panels but you can tape them together , I haven’t as it’s very warm inside and needs ventilation. This is very good for the money but just take your time to set the spices out and remember it’s £109 if you want a full on marquee you aren’t paying £109.

This has lasted just over one week! The frame takes a little time to put together but is not a big challenge if you have a bit of experience, I followed the instructions to the letter (or illustration, as there are no written directions). Where the posts join the plastic elbows, they are supposed to snap/lock into place but don’t, they just pull back out again which is not great. When it came to lifting the roof to add the legs, the roof kept falling apart, in the end it took six people and a roll of gaffa tape to add the legs to the frame, from that point on I was a little concerned about its suitability as a gazebo being used in the UK as it would no doubt have to face some British weather. As I have a lot of experience with these types of gazebo, I had the frame tied to a fence, pegged to the ground, and the guy ropes also in place and pegged to the ground on the front three posts as they were not against the fence, in addition to this i affixed weights to the legs of the gazebo and screwed the plastic feet to the posts as these always fall off otherwise…so it was very unlikely to fly away. Last week we had a few breezy days, on both of these days parts of the roof that had not already been taped, fell off, with one of them buckling under hardly any pressure whatsoever, so I taped them back into place. We had a downpour of rain yesterday afternoon, I went and checked on it and it appeared fine, then I noticed the roof started drooping on one side with the buckled pole, so I went out and pushed it up to disperse the pool of water that was mounting. I had to do this repeatedly and it became apparent very quickly that the fabric was stretching quite noticeably and was also ripping on the one corner under the weight of not very much water. When the rain calmed a little and the water had stopped pooling so much I headed inside to grab some steps so I could remove the roof for the evening (something I have been doing since putting it up so it didn’t try to fly away overnight). I came back out thirty minutes later to find it lying flat on the floor! Upon closer inspection this morning when I went back out in the hope to rebuild it, I found that several of the metal bars had buckled and a large number of the plastic elbows had snapped…there wasn’t enough left in one piece for me to be able to salvage the gazebo, so it went in the bin. I cannot advise strongly enough that this product is avoided, it is of a very poor quality and the more novice buyer will struggle to get it built in the first place.

The marquee arrived with no instructions, no pegs, no guy ropes and the pole numbers were not always easy to read as they were not printed that clearly. We had spare pegs and ropes from previous tents, etc so we used them. After contacting the seller, I received the instructions on line so we could print them off making it easier to assemble. The fabric seems heavy duty and much better than some gazebos that we’ve had in the past.

Worth every penny! Easy to assemble, and just as described. Also customer service is excellent.

Arrived (dumped on my front step) in open & damaged packaging, parts falling out everywhere. Contents dirty and seemed to have been previously used or at least assembled. Amazon description lists it as "waterproof" and "carport" yet what was left of the instructions clearly state it cannot be left up overnight and isn't waterproof - so it's nothing like the description. The feet on which it's supposed to stand are barely two inches across and clearly not fit for purpose.

My husband managed to put the tent up by himself. It is a good looking tent and we are happy with our purchase..

Looks ok but the ties to fix to frame are not re enfored so have now got lots of holes showing where it rips....

This gazebo is flimsy, difficult to put together and of pretty poor quality. The instructions are laughable, you need 6 people to put it together, the cover is very thin, the sides don’t reach the ground. Overall cheap but quite rubbish.
