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

Product Information

After you have everything set up and have staked the feet into the ground with the supplied metal pegs, you then need to connect the provided guy ropes to the gazebo. The other end of each rope attaches to a metal peg, which you insert into the ground – this helps to hold everything in place. The ABC Canopy 3×3 metres pop-up gazebo is probably the best of its kind that you’ll find for under 150 pounds, even pipping the excellent Master Canopy gazebo and All season Gazebo to our top spot by a whisker. There are two main parts that make or break the best pop-up gazebos; the metal frame and the canopy itself, and ABC canopy have nailed both here. I appreciated that the frame comes fully assembled, so all you need to do is stretch this out, secure the cover over the top with the attached velcro straps, and then extend the legs. It does help that there are instructions to guide you, and these are cleverly printed onto the carry bag, so you won’t be able to lose them. However, the instructions aren’t completely accurate, so a small amount of guesswork is involved, especially when it comes to fitting the cover. On the lookout for a pop-up gazebo? Well, here are some of the main factors you should be thinking about before parting ways with your hard-earned cash. Size

If it's even a little bit windy , you need to use the provided pegs to secure each corner to the ground. Better still, attach a guy rope to each corner too and peg down firmly at a 45-degree angle. 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. 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. Before the gazebo frame is fully extended, put the fabric cover on. If you extend the frame before putting the cover on, you'll find it very difficult to stretch the fabric over the frame. Put the fabric over the frame first, and you'll open the frame and find a nice taut fabric cover on top. 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.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.

Each pop-up gazebo was rated for build quality. There's a noticeable difference between the strength and quality of the fabric of different gazebos, as well as the robustness of the poles that make up the frame. Ease of use 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. As we said, this isn’t the cheapest pop-up gazebo out there, and for the money I would have expected maybe a little more. It isn’t that this is in any way a bad product. In fact, it’s a very good one, and looks absolutely fantastic, but I would have thought that the sun shades for the sides could have been thrown in with the price.

From The Manufacturer

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.

There are three heights to choose from (81”, 77”, and 73.2”), and this is adjusted by pushing the red button on each leg to extend it. According to MasterCanopy, the height adjustment feature is pinch-proof. Although I didn’t end up pinching my fingers each time I changed the height, you do need to be very careful!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. 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.
