    Ok people, I need to replace a old 3x3 gazebo for a group of us who use one for Le mans trips and other events. currently have a quick put up Gazebo but was looking at the Coleman event shelter Coleman Event Shelter (12' x 12') | GO Outdoors either the 12x12 or 15x15. but the reviews are not good and seems it's not good if it rains.

    Anyone recommend any good well made Gazebos that should last. Not looking at more than £200-250. needs sides and a door and waterproof. there are lots about but many look either cheap, not waterproof or expensive. I know I can fabseal it to help with waterproofing

    Any tips or links

    Well have you looked at tents too?My Skandika 6 man tent can house 6 more people with its extra space.It is huge and is waterproof with its own internal waterproof floor.The dining area is 2.8metres long so can house a few bikes if needed.Skandika: Saturn 6

    It needs 2 peeps really Jase as it's needs pulling from all 4 corners at the same time.

    Be careful not to kink the folding sloping roof bits though.

    I can do it on my own but it takes longer as U have to keep doing a little bit at a time then swapping sides.

    Mine is a 3m x 4.5m so you'll need at least 2 people but preferably 4. Not too long to put it up as its one frame that just folds out :)

    Pretty much exactly when we have and are replacing after years of use. Been great and as Side needs at lest 2 to open. But with the sides worked well.

    Anything larger than 3x3 I have seen the off
