MasterCanopy Durable Ez Pop-up Gazebo Tent with Roller Bag(3x3M,Black)

Product Information

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. We all know that UK summers are not all about sunshine, and out of the blue thunder showers are quite common, so of course it’s important to have a pop-up gazebo that is not just going to let the rain through. I’m happy to say that after putting it to the test, this model is in fact waterproof like ABC Canopies claim. 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. 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.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.

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 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. 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. 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! We timed how long it took to put up and take down each gazebo. We also rated each one for how easy it is to adjust the height and tighten the fabric roof.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. There is nothing really bad I can say about the Airwave pop-up gazebo. Sure, it has some minor faults, but for the price you would have to search far and wide to find something that has a frame as stable as this, and includes the extras like the side panels. This is a very good option for a tighter budget. 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.
