MasterCanopy Heavy Duty Pop-up Gazebo tent with Sidewalls (2.5x2.5M,Beige)

I bought this gazebo for use in my back garden for two main reasons. Firstly it will act as a shelter to keep the elements at bay when the weather is inclement, and secondly I can use it as a sun shade during the height of summer when the sun is out in full force. So far I have had it erected in my back garden for a party, as I used it as a BBQ shelter. One of the main advantages of the MasterCanopy brand is the fact that the gazebo is so quick and easy to set up. I was able to manage on my own, but with the help of another person it would truly be a breeze! The legs slide out and clamp into place to allow it to be extended to the correct height. All the legs allow for fine adjustment such that the canopy can be used on uneven terrain.One of the main points that drew me specifically to this item is the fact that it is described specifically as being "heavy duty". I would ackowledge that is the an accurate claim now that I have used it in my garden. It is particularly reassuring to know that the roof canopy is thick and durable to ensure that any rain is kept at bay. This has really revolutionised my ability to cook on the BBQ outside even when there is a threat of rain. Another great feature is the fact that the canopy comes with walls that can be added or removed depending on the conditions. This is really handy in Scotland as the walls can be lowered to keep out any wind that can often be unwelcomed especially during the spring and autumn seasons. I think leave the gazebo out over the summer, but common sense would suggest taking it down for storage over winter to preserve the longevity of the product. I will update if any issues develop, but so far I have been mightily impressed with this product.

Had an event with it. The weather was dreadful but the gazebo handled with no problems. Can see that it should be suitable for kids parties. We might leave it outside in summer but not the windy winter.

Nice and sturdy - the first time up was in a signifcant wind - and good value for money.However, I'm disappointed that the canopy has to be taken off to fold the frame into its bag, so it loses a star.

We put this up to cover 2 garden cupboards that I also bought, as I wasn't sure how waterproof they would be and didn't want the items in there to get water damaged over the 1 week period between having one shed removed and another one erected in its place.I'm very disappointed to see that whilst no water has come through, the fabric has maybe done too good a job and has allowed it to collect. This has placed weight on the roof stays which have then folded back in on themselves. In doing so, they have actually caused the stays that run along the sides of the roof canopy to become bent and twisted in places.I'm now going to have to contact Master Canopy about a replacement frame and possibly a roof, as part of it became trapped in the roof stays when they bent back in on themselves at the joints.Although the roof isn't torn it is all creased and you can see where the fabric has been compromised, which will no doubt be a weak point liable to letting water in at some point in the future.Also, I really wouldn't attempt to put this up on your own if you want to get the frame nice and lined up properly and fully extended without giving yourself a hernia!All in all I'm disappointed. I chose master canopy because I thought that the frames would be better quality than the lesser known brands for sale. I actually bought two of these but haven't even unboxed the 2nd one. I'm now wondering whether to bother or just sell it on.

Spent months looking for the best gazebo as it was a big investment for my small business. We use this gazebo every weekend for an outdoor market.It takes five mins to put up and down as you can keep the roof on and fold it up. It is very study and completely water resistant.If it rains it takes about two mins to put up each side and it comes with bags to fill with sand to keep it grounded when it’s windy.The bag is really handy the gazebo just slides in and out and it has wheels for transporting it.Out of the entire market we have had no problems with our gazebo while lots of the other vendors have.

Ordered this a little bit sceptical, but it’s strong and sturdy, easy to erect though requires 4 people due to size, it’s totally waterproof which was a pleasant surprise.For anyone looking to buy this I would recommend and can’t really find any fault with it.

Not a bad pace of kit, but the bag is of bad design having the wheels on the opening end wasn't a good idea because when you try and pack it away you have to try and hold the wheels out of the way, I would have put the oping the other end without anything getting in the way some of the stitch work could have also been better but overall on price looks okay

Absolutely perfect. It does what it says. The bag it comes in has wheels which makes bringing it places really easy.. The sand bags could be bigger but they work perfectly fine
