As the summer draws to its inevitable close, people usually start to plan the packing up of garden furniture. Particularly in Britain, there is often no need for such items to be left cluttering up the garden through the winter months.

A gazebo is widely used in gardens because it provides shelter from sun, wind and rain during outdoor events. However, in order to ensure that it remains in peak condition for the following summer season, a number of tasks should be carried out before packing it away.

Cleaning

A garden gazebo will often have to endure the elements for several weeks and will most likely be stained and dirty at the end of the summer. Many people pack the fabric covering away with the intention of cleaning it the following year. However, this allows stains to set in and become much harder to remove.

For the best results, the canopy should be cleaned with a specialist fabric cleaner and a brush or sponge. It is very important that the canopy is left to dry before being packed away; failure to do this may result in mould forming over the winter and permanently staining or damaging the fabric.

Caring

A gazebo canopy can spend lots of time in the sun and can become worn very quickly. In preparation for the following summer, it is a good idea to apply a fabric guard to the canopy. This should only be done when the fabric has been allowed to dry completely.

Fabric guards can help to protect the colour and appearance of the gazebo against direct sunlight and incessant rain.

Folding a canopy away for the winter should be done with care. The slightest moisture can result in serious mould problems developing over time. However, this can be avoided by applying a mould-resistant chemical to the fabric before storing it.

Storing

To ensure the frame is protected, it should be dismantled and stored in a dry place if possible. Where the structure is to be left in place, a chemical rust-inhibitor can be sprayed onto metal surfaces which creates a barrier against the rain.

Once the canopy has been treated, it should be left to dry completely. It should then be folded carefully and placed into an airtight container. This should then be stored in a dry place for the winter.

Sadly nothing lasts forever, particularly when it spends large chunks of time outdoors being subjected to the vagaries of the Great British Summer. Rain, wind, and massive fluctuations in temperature all play their part in causing natural wear and tear on garden gazebo canopies and curtains.

Even when the product is of an exceptional quality, eventually the time will come when it is necessary to look for a replacement for your gazebo canopy.

Essential Checklist for a Gazebo Replacement Canopy
Regatta Replacement gazebo Canopy 3M

One size definitely does not fit all. Because garden gazebos come in a wide variety of different designs, it is essential that you measure the dimensions of your current canopy before buying a replacement. Ideally it is worth contacting the retail supplier of your current gazebo to see if they stock a replacement canopy, but if this is not possible, take a tape measure and note down the dimensions of your existing canopy carefully.

The shape of the gazebo is also very important. A square canopy will not fit an octagonal gazebo frame or vice versa. Once again, the best way of obtaining a replacement canopy for a gazebo that actually fits like a glove is to contact the gazebo retailer. At the very least, try and buy a new gazebo canopy that matches the dimensions and the shape of your current gazebo.

Buying replacement gazebo canopies

Your first port of call should be the original gazebo supplier. There are plenty of stores offering suitable replacement canopies for garden gazebos. Prices will vary considerably between different stores, so have a good think about how much you are willing to spend beforehand.

Are online stores cheaper?


Buying from an online store will normally be cheaper than paying a trip to your local outdoor furniture centre. However, you need to balance the benefits of cost against being able to see the quality of the canopy before you buy.

Fabrics vary in thickness and resilience and buying online for a bargain basement price is not necessarily a strong indicator you will end up with a premium product. However, if price is your deal breaker, shopping online will give you the best quality of gazebos canopies combined with the most economic prices.

Is a better quality gazebo canopy worth the extra money?

More expensive and higher quality replacement canopies are made from thicker fabric and are likely to last a lot longer than a cheaper canopy. Thicker fabrics are more weather resistant and offer better protection from the sun and rain during outdoor entertaining.

If you only plan on using your garden gazebo for a few days per year, you might consider the extra cost a little more carefully. As with most things though, you usually get what you pay for so a little extra investment can often be worth it.

If you have chosen to host a garden party, there are many things for you to contemplate and prepare for. A few options to consider are:

Gazebo

A garden gazebo is an absolute must if you are hosting a garden party. If you choose your garden gazebo well, you will opt for a versatile structure with optional panels. The gazebo offers protection against the sun, insects and some well needed shade on a hot summer day.

Music

No party is complete without music. You will need to decide whether you are going to hire musicians or hook up a stereo and assign someone to be responsible for the music to be played. For the more formal party there is the option of hiring a band also. If you decide with the latter, check with the band what electrical outlets they will require and if you need to supply anything to enable them to set up.

Food

You can’t have a party without food! There are many options to choose from. On a nice hot day a barbecue is popular, as is a buffet. You will need to allocate some time to shop if you choose either of these options as you will require fresh food. Many people assign duties to family and friends, where each brings a portion of the food which makes up the entire buffet. You need to make a list and decide how much you can delegate. There is the more expensive option of catering if you feel this is too much hassle.

Beverages

Will you have a bar or a ‘bring your own’ bottle type of party? A bar is a popular choice but it can be very expensive on the party host. It is best to set a budget if you are planning on running a help yourself bar. Don’t forget the soft drinks for the children or adults who won’t be drinking!

Seating

How many people are invited? Where will you seat them all? A common mistake with a party is inviting more people than you can possibly seat. Plan well and this won’t be a problem. You can hire chairs or assemble your friends and ask who can bring deck chairs. It is amazing what you can gather with a bit of ingenuity.

A good garden party is a blend of many factors. The great host is thoroughly prepared and willing to get everyone involved to make the event a success.

When the sun comes out, however briefly, our thoughts naturally turn to enjoying the outdoor space and entertaining family and friends. It’s a great time to be getting out the barbecue, taking off the garden furniture covers and wiping down the outdoor dining set.

Alfresco dining can be very enjoyable and gardens can often accommodate more guests than a room inside the house. However it’s best not leave your entertainment to chance so this is where a good quality garden gazebo is invaluable. Ask yourself, how much do you really trust the British weather?

It can be very frustrating to plan an outdoor social event only to hear the dreaded news that the sun will be short lived and the rain will soon be back. As with most things, it is advisable to have a backup plan to save yourself from a total wash-out.

Garden gazebos are an increasingly popular choice and can create an extra outdoor room in effect. They vary greatly in materials, price and longevity, so choose one depending on your needs.

Metal Gazebos

Metal framed gazebos are also very popular. They are available in a range of sizes so it depends on the size of party that you wish to accommodate. The poles are fairly lightweight and slot together easily. Kits are available to securely fix the gazebo to the ground should it happen to be a breezy day.  The canopy tends to be more durable than a simple pop up gazebo and is usually waterproof; however we would still recommend dismantling it in bad weather and storing it carefully.

Hardwood Gazebos
Quality Wooden Riviera Gazebo

 A more permanent choice is the hardwood gazebos now on the market that are highly durable and a great feature for the garden. Often used to provide privacy around a garden hot tub, they can also easily accommodate a large garden dining table and come with removable side curtains and mosquito nets. Hardwood gazebos can provide excellent protection so the party can go on long into the evening without fear of those pesky insect bites. And should the rain choose to fall, fear not, the canopy is fully waterproof.

Wooden gazebo ranges are designed to be a more permanent feature in the garden so do not need disassembling. However we would always recommend that the canopy be removed and stored in particularly bad weather to extend the life of the product. As with the metal gazebos, replacement canopies and side curtains are available should they wear out after a number of years.

Pop-up Gazebos and Party tents
Hexagonal Gazebo 4.5M

A pop up gazebo, or party tent, is a simple cover solution that can be erected in a very short time and can be taken virtually anywhere. They are great for providing some shade from hot sun or for protecting guests from a sudden shower.

These are becoming more popular with campers who like to have a lounge/dining area they can use even in adverse weather. Gazebos are a great alternative to having the whole family crammed into a damp tent.

Gazebo Accessories

There is an ever increasing range of accessories that can complement your quality gazebo, no matter what sort you choose. The canopy can be fitted with lights that can be powered either by mains or rechargeable batteries. It’s also possible to keep the temperature as you need it with a new range of Heatwave heaters that are safe to be used inside the gazebo but should never be left unattended.

Enjoy your garden for longer whatever the weather decides with a high quality garden gazebo – just don’t leave it to chance.
