You have heard the expression, all things are created equal, well when it comes to Gazebos, that just aint necessarily so. A few months ago, I decided that my old non-waterproof, catalogue shop Gazebo, just wasn’t up to the job anymore. So, I decided to upgrade to a market-stall grade Gazebo, but which one to buy? At a recent craft market, I wandered round, looking at the various Gazebos in the progress of being erected. The first thing I noticed was the range of quality of Gazebos, from the plug together supermarket versions that reminded me of a bad day putting up a tent while camping, to rugged steel framed market stalls. My requirements were for something to look professional and have the room to display the novels I write to their best. It had to be easy to transport, quick and fuss-free to assemble and disassemble – and if necessary, by one person. It had to be rugged and genuinely waterproof, give adequate headroom, and if something should go array, be able to order spare parts from stock. In the end I looked at three different suppliers and chose the entry level Classic Steel 30 Gazebo from the Gazeboshop. I thought it offered exceptional value for money whilst going above and beyond the quality and durability of regular retail equivalent Gazebos. With a protective powder-coated finish of the steel frame, combined with the ease with which the Gazebo frame erects, especially with the Quick release pull-pin adjusters on the legs which have three positions to enable the Gazebo to sit level on uneven ground. The sides of heavy-duty vinyl are suspended by heavy-duty Velcro and then using the heavy-duty zips you connect each side panel, it was a winner all round; yes it is that straight forward to erect. I ordered my Gazebo in June and have been to several markets during the intervening months and the Gazebo has performed magnificently every time, well worth the five stars.
