"Under no circumstances have this erected in winds. Within days a window seem ripped. The opposite side wall window suffered a similar fate weeks/months later. Then several weeks later strips of material have ripped and started to peel back on the roof (not on a seem but simply ripped in strips).
To be fair it mentions not an all year product. However, this was over the summer."

"Id like to say the following about the gazebo / marquee - positives:
• Its easy to put up and with 2 people takes little effort - and some strength!
• Is structurally strong and substantial - better than expected
• Easily seats 30 people, with room to spare
• Seems wind resistant and waterproof ( except for the sides which are not waterproof)
• Traditional colour instead of horrid white and therefore warmer
• Much admired by all of the guests
• Has been up for nearly two weeks in all sorts of windy weather and rain - and still standing
• Delivered on time and absolutely as confirmed by email, very efficiently
Negatives;
• Labelled on product as "showerproof" so not quite as described on web page
• Needs more large ground pegs - only 14 supplied with over 30 required
• Sides would benefit from another ratchet guy each side in the middle and either much stronger ground pegs and/or option to tie down more firmly as they tend to flap about in the slightest breeze - ground poles would be useful
• Ends also need more substantial pegs and ground poles would be very beneficial ( option to purchase perhaps?)
• Should be fireproof / flameproof according to EU safety regs
• Should be described as a marquee - not a gazebo.
• Some of the stitching is rather poorly finished resulting in some fraying of zips and eyelets
• Pin holes in places on the sides
• One pole tie for one side in completely the wrong place - about 12 inches from the required location ( an odd flaw)
• Bags for the poles, roof, sides and ends would be a great additional option since the boxes are massive and waterproof / vermin proof bags would make for better storage options.
All in all a very good buy……hope to use for many years, but also hope that accessories issues might be addressed, and options for additional items offered in future."

"The gazebo is extremely strong and well made. It withheld strong winds and lots of heavy rain. Completely waterproof. Looks impressive dressed with lights, tables and cloths, easily seats 30+ people on round tables. Excellent value for money."
