About this deal

As we said, this isn’t the cheapest pop-up gazebo out there, and for the money I would have expected maybe a little more. It isn’t that this is in any way a bad product. In fact, it’s a very good one, and looks absolutely fantastic, but I would have thought that the sun shades for the sides could have been thrown in with the price. At first glance, the MasterCanopy Durable EZ Pop-Up Gazebo certainly appears impressive. Take a closer look and you’re unlikely to change your mind – everything fits together well, with the gazebo looking very sleek and high-quality overall. The most important part of a pop-up gazebo is the frame. A weak frame will cause you so many headaches it’s just not worth trying to list them all. Look for frames that are made of powder coated steel, with support bars, and reinforced corner sections. Ease of assembly

The frame is really smooth and easy to erect, requires no tools at all thanks to the ring-pull clamps, and only took me and the wife about 15 minutes to get the whole thing, including the canopy, up on the first try, and less than that on our subsequent attempts. It is made from strong metal, and is a step above a lot of other models that I‘ve tried in recent years. I appreciated that the frame comes fully assembled, so all you need to do is stretch this out, secure the cover over the top with the attached velcro straps, and then extend the legs. It does help that there are instructions to guide you, and these are cleverly printed onto the carry bag, so you won’t be able to lose them. However, the instructions aren’t completely accurate, so a small amount of guesswork is involved, especially when it comes to fitting the cover.So, with that being said let’s take a look at the best-selling pop-up gazebos to see if they live up to the hype, and are worth investing in. Best Pop-up Gazebo Buyer’s Guide Solid and sturdy are how I would describe the frame on this pop-up gazebo. The combination of iron and steel components gives it a lot of strength and stability, while the powder coating has also been done well and should help to fight rust for quite some time. There are also two window panels which can be attached using Velcro. However, the plastic material used for these seemed a little brittle to me so I wouldn’t attach and remove them too often if I was to use this gazebo over the summer. Included in the price are all the things you’d expect; sandbags, guide ropes, ground stakes, etc. and of course there is a carry bag to store everything away once it’s folded down. The gazebo comes with the usual extras such as weight bags to be filled with water or sand, tent pegs, four guide ropes, and a wheeled carry bag to store it all in. The carry bag is as good as the ones for both the ABC and Master Canopy products, and I had no complaints about its quality. It’s not going to last forever, but it is decent. Running a very close, joint second to the outstanding ABC Canopy product, is this pop-up gazebo that comes to us courtesy of Master Canopy, and available in four different sizes. The 3×3 metre version that we got our hands on will provide you with around 9 square metres of sheltered space, so probably enough to house 6 people sitting very comfortably on garden furniture, or 8-10 standing more closely together.

Airwaves have included side panels with this pop-up gazebo and a door that can be rolled up when you need more ventilation. This is a really good deal for something in this price range, even the more expensive brands and models tend to sell their side walls separately, so this was a nice extra. Thinking a nice gazebo is just a little bit out of your price range? Well, you can stop right there and take a look at this cheap pop-up gazebo that is pleasing a long list of customers. With its smaller dimensions, it is also a good choice for those of you with smaller gardens where space can be limited.I have set the gazebo up in varying conditions since then, but it does start to feel a little unstable once winds get above 30-40km/h. That said, I was using my gazebo in a very exposed spot – if you’ve got more shelter around, whether in the form of trees, buildings, or anything else, then you shouldn’t have any issues with stability. Another great feature of this gazebo is that you only have to set the canopy onto the frame a single time, and after that it can be left on. It won’t affect how the gazebo folds down, and will save you a lot of time in the future. There are three heights to choose from (81”, 77”, and 73.2”), and this is adjusted by pushing the red button on each leg to extend it. According to MasterCanopy, the height adjustment feature is pinch-proof. Although I didn’t end up pinching my fingers each time I changed the height, you do need to be very careful! The Master Canopy pop-up gazebo comes in its very own wheeled carry bag, and thoughtfully, the company has printed the assembly instructions on the outside of the bag. I thought this was a nice touch, even if they aren’t really needed after the first set up as it’s so simple. A canopy tent with sidewalls is an excellent item to use if you’re having an event outside. Whether it’s a work conference, a wedding or a kids’ birthday party, a canopy tent can protect you from the sun, wind and rain.

The frame height is adjustable through three settings, but unlike the ABC Canopy gazebo that had metal ring-pull clamps, this Master Canopy model used push button ones instead. I know there will be people who will prefer this mechanism over the ring pulls, and there are good reasons for that, such as less chance of catching your skin by accident. However, personally, I always prefer metal to plastic for things like this, even if the plastic is really good quality like on this product. The height of the gazebo can be adjusted through three different settings, giving you a choice of clearance heights; 6.4ft, 6.7ft, and 7ft, however you have to realise that the bars of the frame will sit lower than that, and at the highest setting I would guess that to be around 6.5ft from the floor, so still plenty of room unless you are exceptionally tall.There are two main types of canopy tents available: portable and heavy duty. A portable canopy tent is lightweight and easy to move. It is typically smaller than a heavy-duty tent and is best for recreational use. These types of tests are usually inexpensive and easy to set up in a few minutes. However, a portable canopy tent is not as durable, especially in extreme weather conditions like storms. They are typically only used during the event and then taken down and put away. Being located in the North East of Scotland means that I have some seriously high expectations when a product claims to be weatherproof. What makes things even more challenging is the fact that my farm sits at the top of a hill, meaning that every day is a windy one. After you have everything set up and have staked the feet into the ground with the supplied metal pegs, you then need to connect the provided guy ropes to the gazebo. The other end of each rope attaches to a metal peg, which you insert into the ground – this helps to hold everything in place. Strong winds are also a common feature of our wonderful summers, but thankfully, you won’t have to worry about chasing this gazebo down the street every five minutes. Included with the gazebo are strong ropes to secure it, and four weight bags that can be filled with water. These bags, once filled and attached, actually do an excellent job of providing additional support to the frame, and when combined with the easy to stake feet, you have yourself a gazebo that can hold its own against those strong gusts. Made from 500 denier polyester and having PU lining and heat-sealed seams, the canopy is exceptionally quality for the price and I was impressed by the attention to detail, such as having reinforced parts where it would come under the most stress when stretched over the frame.
