Airwave 3.5mtr Pop Up Gazebo HEXAGONAL Blue Fully Waterproof with Six Sides and CarryBag

Bought as a sun shade/rain shower for a garden bbq. Item arrived in a large cardboard box that could have been a bit sturdier to contain the weight of the article inside (it was bulging/misshapen/a bit battered. I noted a small hook was through the side of it and discovered that was through the 'lightweight' carry bag too.A tag on the bag said three people should be putting the gazebo up though the instructions said minimum of two. Having read the woes of others in the reviews, we set up with 3 but carefully dismantled with 2. Note: if yours comes with the roof on the folded-up frame, be sure to release the white velcro strips around all the framework otherwise you'll rip their patches off (not advised in the instructions.........yes, I read those). If done cautiously, you should have no issue assembling it following the instructions. Note how taut the material is becoming during frame extention as you may need to ease the velcro patches near the uprights etc. to avoid tears.In use, with four waterfilled Airwave weights on some legs, it did the job.....protected from direct gusty wind, sunlight and showers. However, heavier rain later saw drips coming where the leg frames met the roof reinforced material, so it is not waterproof though I saw none from the mid-roof zone. Maybe investigate a spray proofer to bolster the weatherproofing. 3.5M size adequately housed 8 people sitting/standing in conversation plus a reasonable table full of food, sides and plates.For the money, it does the job but could not claim to be weatherproof out of the bag. Would recommend a bit of thought and cautious approach to siting it, constructing it and guy rope placing. Someone inexperienced/unfamiliar with the item at 'Airwave' needs to actually test the instructions fully and ensure that bag label and instructions work and take into account customer feedback and give the same guidance.

After my cheap old gazebo died I wanted something better quality to replace it. This was absolutely ideal being hexagonal it's much more stable much roomier and all sides part of the purchase. I would have preferred two window and two full material rather than four windowed sides but that's because we are overlooked. the material feels much better than my old one and the pop up is easy to use though it does take a bit of time to get up fully put pins in and sides up. The sides go to various levels of height which is useful.

Absolutely love it! Genuinely pops up but you do need two peeps to do it properly without risk of breakage. Very sensible instructions on how to put up. Think the price is bang on for the quality,the fabric is very lightweight but more like cloth than plastic, much better than the cheepie plastic one i had before, the framework is pretty sturdie but we double pinned and guy roped it with some tent pegs and weighed it with a couple of sandbags just so i could leave it up and sleep without worrying about windy weather. Only complaint is that it looks saggy and baggy where the side panels velcro onto the zig-zag framework so go up and down making it impossible to get taught and straight. Ours withstood very heavy rain and blustery wind, helped to zip shut to stop the wind lifting it. Best buy of the summer!

Decent build quality let down by weedy velcro tapes to connect the walls to the frame. They rip off at the first sign of a breeze. I bought 'Heavy Duty Eyelet Pliers TE446' and made eyelets in all the walls. Now I strap them to the frame with cable ties and snip them off each time. Keeps the wind and rain out pretty well now.

Great value, spacious and attractive Gazebo which held three long tables for a pop up shop. Heed the instructions - specifically if you've never used/erected one before. This truly does need more than two people to erect. Crown could be more robust because the metal bent easily on popping it down.

Would imagine this is perfect for what we need it for - not used it yet this year as weather changed and struggled to get enough days together to use and leave up - looking forward to next summer though to get lots of use

Good, sturdy gazebo. Been well tested in the recent strong winds but it's still intact. Only flaw I can see, are the velcro fasteners which appear to be vulnerable to the winds.But overall, very happy with the product.

First observations. Why do I have to put the canvas on the frame! I've got a pop up gazebo which had slight storm damage so purchased this. My previous canopy had the canvas attached to the frame and was erected in seconds. All I have in the carry bag is a frame and loose curtains and canopy. I presume I have to try to fit a cover over the frame all within a few minutes of the pop up frame going up. Not sure how you do this without steps? I really do hope that once it's on it can stay on, although there are no instructions? If it doesn't then it can't really be called a pop up unit and is being sold under a false name if you face to do this all the time. It's a real shame as the canvas looks and feels reasonable quality. But pop up is pop up and should be up in seconds.If when I have tried the unit and the canvas for the roof can stay on the frame I will review my appraisal of the unit., or applying for a refund.
