First do the research and where possible have prior experience [good/bad]with gazebos. The cheap pop-ups on the internet are weak structurally and the canopies tear easily. I bought the Explorer 3 by 6 metre and was impressed by how solid it is. Guess the picture of sevreal people hanging from the structure helped the choice. It is easy to fix should damage occur. That is important as the cheaper gazebos are write-offs when struts or legs become bent or warped due to accidents. I recently replaced two posts on the Explorer that got bent and it took about 10 minutes. The carrier bag is also of good solid quality. Not to forget the staff who are very helpful and knowledgeable.
