MasterCanopy Durable Ez Pop-up Gazebo Tent with Roller Bag(3x3M,Black)

Product Information

I have set the gazebo up in varying conditions since then, but it does start to feel a little unstable once winds get above 30-40km/h. That said, I was using my gazebo in a very exposed spot – if you’ve got more shelter around, whether in the form of trees, buildings, or anything else, then you shouldn’t have any issues with stability. We timed how long it took to put up and take down each gazebo. We also rated each one for how easy it is to adjust the height and tighten the fabric roof.

The frame is really smooth and easy to erect, requires no tools at all thanks to the ring-pull clamps, and only took me and the wife about 15 minutes to get the whole thing, including the canopy, up on the first try, and less than that on our subsequent attempts. It is made from strong metal, and is a step above a lot of other models that I‘ve tried in recent years. There are also two window panels which can be attached using Velcro. However, the plastic material used for these seemed a little brittle to me so I wouldn’t attach and remove them too often if I was to use this gazebo over the summer. Included in the price are all the things you’d expect; sandbags, guide ropes, ground stakes, etc. and of course there is a carry bag to store everything away once it’s folded down. We all know that UK summers are not all about sunshine, and out of the blue thunder showers are quite common, so of course it’s important to have a pop-up gazebo that is not just going to let the rain through. I’m happy to say that after putting it to the test, this model is in fact waterproof like ABC Canopies claim.A canopy tent with sidewalls is an excellent item to use if you’re having an event outside. Whether it’s a work conference, a wedding or a kids’ birthday party, a canopy tent can protect you from the sun, wind and rain. Strong winds are also a common feature of our wonderful summers, but thankfully, you won’t have to worry about chasing this gazebo down the street every five minutes. Included with the gazebo are strong ropes to secure it, and four weight bags that can be filled with water. These bags, once filled and attached, actually do an excellent job of providing additional support to the frame, and when combined with the easy to stake feet, you have yourself a gazebo that can hold its own against those strong gusts. If you’re looking for something a little special that will stand out from your neighbour’s gazebos, and you don’t mind forking out a little more for it, the Alvantor screen house pop-up gazebo is sure to turn heads. Resembling a futuristic space pod, albeit with a little more style, the Alvantor is available in either 10x10ft, 12x12ft, or a huge 15x15ft. All of them are incredibly lightweight for their size, and this has its advantages and disadvantages.

So, can this gazebo really be set up in just one minute? Unfortunately, no, it took about 15 minutes with two people, but that’s still not particularly long. Another great feature of this gazebo is that you only have to set the canopy onto the frame a single time, and after that it can be left on. It won’t affect how the gazebo folds down, and will save you a lot of time in the future.Running a very close, joint second to the outstanding ABC Canopy product, is this pop-up gazebo that comes to us courtesy of Master Canopy, and available in four different sizes. The 3×3 metre version that we got our hands on will provide you with around 9 square metres of sheltered space, so probably enough to house 6 people sitting very comfortably on garden furniture, or 8-10 standing more closely together. Made from 500 denier polyester and having PU lining and heat-sealed seams, the canopy is exceptionally quality for the price and I was impressed by the attention to detail, such as having reinforced parts where it would come under the most stress when stretched over the frame. The frame height is adjustable through three settings, but unlike the ABC Canopy gazebo that had metal ring-pull clamps, this Master Canopy model used push button ones instead. I know there will be people who will prefer this mechanism over the ring pulls, and there are good reasons for that, such as less chance of catching your skin by accident. However, personally, I always prefer metal to plastic for things like this, even if the plastic is really good quality like on this product. Airwaves have included side panels with this pop-up gazebo and a door that can be rolled up when you need more ventilation. This is a really good deal for something in this price range, even the more expensive brands and models tend to sell their side walls separately, so this was a nice extra.
