"I thought this was going to be good but as soon as I went to put it one of the arms broke and then the frame started to bow after the wind got hold off it!!! Not the best purchase!!!! Think I will pay that bit extra and get something that stands up to the job in future!!"

Pros: solid when setup correctly
Cons: no safety clasps for guide rops, zip handlers on carry case snap too easy
"Overall used for 2 seperate events and each time went up and came down with ease and no problems going back into it's carry, and still in same new condition with no buckled or twisted legs or framework in any way shape or form, and for the price i was expecting some for or another damage to the product but not even a chip or scratch to the framework,
so, all in all i have recommended this product to the main event organizers for next years event, and i will be buying more of these myself as they are by far the best for the price i've even had
and i will be recommending this product to anyone that's looking for a cost effective garden or even festival gazebo"

"Purchased this a year ago, used it once, very stiff to put up and one leg bent during process of putting it up. Managed to straighten it. Used it again this year, this time, with no wind at all, gazebo twisted and folded under its own weight, all four legs buckled in different places, now sat in a heap on my lawn.
Total rubbish, Aluminium tubing not much thicker than a coke can. Take my advice, pay a bit more and buy one made in steel."

Pros: well made and sturdy, easy to assemble
Cons: assembly isn't a one man job!
"We have used this in the garden as a sun shelter for the kids or to sit under for BBQs etc. It's so easy to put and really sturdy when pegged down.
However we recently took it camping however and it was brilliant! We assembled it in front of our tent as a covered seating area and it was ideal. Our friends also bought one but were amazed at how easy the Halfords one was to put up and how big it was. It even survived 2 rainy, windy nights - which is something our friends' gazebo didn't! I think they'll be buying one of these now too."

Pros: quick and easy to put up, light enough to move once up
Cons: carrying bag is slightly too small, zips broke on first use
"this pop up gazebo is a doddle to put up once you have managed to get it out of the bag. my mrs and myself, both in our 60s can put it up in a few minutes. no more trying to work out which bar goes where. highly reccommended for when you need shade in a hurry."

Pros: very easy to put up (if you're not alone)
Cons: a bit flimsy.
"For the price - it doesn't get any better. It's not waterproof - but you can proof it and because it is relatively light, it will blow about in the wind.
Don't buy if you want a waterproof/windproof gazebo - they cost a lot more than this!"

Pros: fairly big, fairly cheap, has walls and a window
Cons: not-so-easy to assemble, poor locks. falls apart under wind
"It's a good and useful thing when it's assembled. We had a party and the rain started so we all jumped under it and continued like nothing happened. However, it's not that easy to assemble as the title says. You need 2 people. Second drawback is that sections don't hold each other very strongly. Some locks are not very reliable and fall apart under the wind or in case it is standing on uneven ground."

Pros: there are none!
Cons: lightweight, will soon break in wind and rain, a waste of money
"I purchased on a Friday and by Sunday it was broken and worthless. The frame bent in the wind (not particularly strong wind). The frame is too lightweight for usage in wind and rain (which after all is the primary purpose for the product!)"

Pros: does the job at a very good price
Cons: you'll spend far too much time outdoors
"I undertook quite a lot of research before I purchased this one from Halfords. When I saw the price I thought it reasonable compared to others out there but that the quality woud probably suffer/difficult to assemble. It didn't. It's one of the easiest things I've ever put up (I'm only 5ft tall) and have been using it regularly ever since I bought it. It's acted as a shelter for my other half when cutting tiles outside in the rain - got the 'it's raining' excuse out of the way - and we've eaten numerous meals beneath it, it's a lot bigger than you think, tons of room. The gazebo is very easy to put away and takes up very little room in its purpose built holder. I'd highly recommend this gem to anyone thinking of buying a gazebo - far cheaper than anything I've seen and I don't honestly think the quality is any less than themore expensive ones. A real winner Halfords!"

"I was initially attracted by the low price , but was pleased to find the quality exceeded my expectations. My previous Gazebo had to be painstakingly assembled and dis assembled as soon as the wind got up. So much easier now. This one goes up and down quite well.
2 people needed , but would be easier with 4!"
