Hello,

I’m after a gazebo for events, I’ve had the cheap ones from Morrisons and B&Q, and used really nice E-Z-ups (£200 sort).

I’m looking for something between to two, something waterproof, and easy to put up, but not expensive.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Cheers chaps

We have a Coleman event shelter which is great – about £120 IIRC. Don’t forget to buy three or four add on side panels though. There are always some good deals around if you look.

these are great and you can add sides/floors etc to suit

you can get good E-Z up types on flea bay from 70 or so :

Sorted. Cheers chaps.

I was thinking of buying one of those coleman event shelters. Do the pitch easily, are they ok at all without the side panels?

They’re great actually. They’re easy, take less than 10 mins to put up and they’re very stable regardless of putting the side panels up or not. We don’t usually use the side panels at all – just really keep them for if the weather’s bad and it’s windy.

Cool!

I covet one of those Coleman jobbies. If one of those is in budget then I reckon that’s the one.

Those event shelters are very good…

We had 5 families sheltering under one this weekend and the heavens really opened…
