About this deal

With 16m² of space beneath it, this great value shelter from Outwell is absolutely enormous. Perfect for group camping trips, or huge families, it has a generous peak height of 2.45m and the entrance height is 1.8m, so only the very tallest will need to stoop to seek cover.

The fabric: The shell is a polyester with an impressive 6000 mm waterproof rating. This is more that you have in most of the family camping tents on the market. The fabric is fully fire-retardant and tested to the European EN 5912 safety standard. Key specs – Main material: Polyester; Weight: 20.9kg; Pitch time: 12mins; Dimensions: 365 x 365cm; Height: 218c For a more traditional “village fête” look, we like the gazebo in neutral beige, but it also comes in a range of other colours if you want something that will stand out in your garden. This gazebo covers an area of 3m² and doesn’t come with any side walls, but if you’re looking for something with more space, or better protection from the elements, All Seasons produce a range of other models too. Our only complaint is that the size isn’t quite as large as the name suggests, although there’s plenty of space for six adults, camping chairs, and a table, you’ll struggle to sit ten comfortably.

All Seasons Gazebos 3 x 3m Pop-up Gazebo: The best for garden partiesThis Berghaus Dome Shelter should not be mixed with their Berghaus Air Shelter which is a very different item although on the first look they may look similar.

Made from 6,000mm HH polyester and featuring taped seams, the Air Shelter offers the same level of weather protection as many tents, and it will take hours, if not days, of relentless rain before the fabric gets saturated. Two sides feature doors with full-length mesh panels, the other two have windows and curtains, and the roof has skylight panels, giving you a wide range of options for adjusting interior lighting conditions. It comes with a pump as standard, but there are also plenty of practical accessories available, including zip-on side panels, soft carpet, a tent insert, and a weight bag for pitching on hard surfaces. It’s expensive, but we’ve not found many designs better than this. The solid windows and the two skylight roof panels are most likely a PVC, they do not provide information. Note that they build this shelter in two different colors, they are shown here in the pictures. How do you pitch Berghaus Air Shelter? The Trigon AirHub also comes with a groundsheet, and there are four triangular doors that unzip and fold away easily, opening up whichever sides you want. The remaining triangular sections also feature insect mesh windows if you need extra ventilation. It’s a great design for windy and cold conditions, but be warned: baked by the sun, it can get a bit hot, even with all the sides removed.

Is there a warranty period included?

It’s made from a hard-wearing woven polyester recycled from 100% plastic bottles – a trend we love seeing in outdoor equipment – that’s also Global Recycled Standard certified so, in theory, it can be turned into more tents at the end of its life. The flysheet is waterproof to 3,000mm HH and offers UV 50+ protection. And, thanks to the tunnel shape, so long as you’re mindful of the wind direction, you can remain sheltered from the breeze as well as the sun and the rain, while the gently arched sides still offer enough through-ventilation to prevent a strong gust from causing havoc. Key specs – Main material: Polyester; Weight: 11.1kg; Dimensions: 300 x 300cm (living room), 75 x 35 x 34 cm (cover); Height: 220cm (overall) Key specs – Main material: Sentinel Eco recycled polyester; Weight: 12.9kg; Dimensions: 350 x 350cm; Pitch time: 8mins; Height: 225cm The pitching times suggested by manufacturers tend to be fairly optimistic, and you should expect a bit of trial and error the first time you erect your new canvas palace.

The walls are straight and steep, and the structure is cabin-type, pleasant and with plenty of head space. Many campervans and tents, especially large family ones, have add-on shelters or awnings, usually designed specifically for that model, but we’d argue that a freestanding gazebo is far more versatile. The best gazebos can be used to create a cosy porch, a communal living space between tents to eat or relax, a playroom for the kids if the weather’s bad, or just a bit of shade at a summer party.

The best gazebos you can buy in 2023

Like a good tent, the best gazebos should have plenty of room for happy campers or guests. They should have a waterproof outer layer to keep the elements at bay and, if necessary, a design that doesn’t sacrifice airiness or breathability when zipped up. But, unlike big, bulky tents, gazebos should be lightweight and not take up much storage space, so that they’re a great way to expand your camp without needing to lug around heavy equipment. With no poles to slot together, All Seasons promises that it will only take you a couple of minutes to get this foldable gazebo up and ready to go. And, once you’ve got the roof cover on, you theoretically never have to take it off again, which makes it a great option for assembling in a hurry when the weather turns sour. The poles: You have a steel frame here, I already mentioned some of its features. This is one of the differences when you compare it with its mentioned cousin the Berghaus Air Shelter. So it needs assembly and this is the same as with any solid poles tent. The fabric: They claim this is a premium polyester but there is no information about its denier value. However, the official waterproof rating of 6000 mm is truly impressive. The seams are taped. A camping gazebo with sides can also protect you from intruding mosquitoes, wasps and other insects.

Regarding the weight, it is considerably heavier than most of its competitors. But this is because of its strong and stable frame which I described above. This is a camping shelter so it is not built to be carried far from the car. Inflatable gazebos and shelters are starting to become both popular and affordable, and they cut pitching time significantly – just pump and peg out. You’ll need a compatible pump though, and these aren’t always included. What size is best? Key specs – Main material: Polyester; Weight: 11.6kg; Pitch time: 13 mins; Dimensions: 300 x 300cm; Height: 225cm

This will depend on how many sides you go for when choosing your event shelter. A camping gazebo with sides is ideal when you don’t wish to be seen by any surrounding campers.
