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.

Riviera Hardwood Gazebo 4M x 3M
Riviera Hardwood Gazebo 4M x 3M
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.

Replacement Gazebo Canopy 4M x 3M
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
Regatta Replacement Gazebo Canopy 3M x 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
Delux Replacement Gazebo Canopy 3M
Delux Replacement Gazebo Canopy 3M x 3M

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?


Festival Replacement Canopy in Medium
Festival Replacement Canopy in Medium
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.

Popular Pop-up type Gazebo

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!

The Perfect Garden Party

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.

04/07/2012


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 Regatta Gazebo 4M x 3M

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
Riviera Hardwood Gazebo 3m x 3m
 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.

Pop Gazebo 3M x 3M in Blue, White or Green
There's a special occasion approaching in the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations taking place around the country starting on the weekend 2nd June 2012. That means it's party time and there's nothing better for protecting your food and drink from the weather than a quality garden gazebo. Especially a pop up gazebo to keep you dry should the worst happen.

Why Use A Pop Up Gazebo?

How Much Do Gazebos Cost?

As with all garden gazebos, prices vary but a budget of around £199.00 can buy you a sizable space to celebrate the Jubilee in style.

Pop up gazebos, or party tents as they're sometimes known, tend to come in at the lower end of the price band.

The gazebos often come with side curtains that can be added or removed making them very flexible when it comes to accounting for the weather.

If it's really hot; simply remove the curtains. If it happens to be windy then you'll have the option of making the gazebo nice and cosy by adding the side curtains as necessary.

The gazebo side curtains, and roof, are made from tough waterproof UPVC. It can stand up to pretty hefty gusts of wind but it is advisable to dismantle it if the wind is very heavy. This will avoid any tears to the fabric and damaging your precious gazebo.

It is advisable to spend a little extra as the quality improves considerably with a little more investment. A good quality garden gazebo can last you for years.

As with most garden equipment, over time your gazebo canopy will start to show some wear and tear.  If you store your gazebo during the winter months it may be subject to damp conditions causing mould to form, or if left outside all year round it will become exposed to wind, rain and the colder conditions that can cause damage to it, and you will find that sooner or later you will need to consider a replacement gazebo canopy.

The material choice is worthy of a little consideration as well as some materials are more durable than others.  Your choice will depend on how much time your gazebo spends outside.  Ideally you should look for a material that is UV resistant.  This type of material will last longer and look better, thanks to the ability of them to withstand the outdoor climate.  You also need to consider colour and design to make sure it fits with your current outdoor area, as well as any furniture or furnishings you may have.

Dependent on your circumstances a full replacement gazebo canopy can be bought which includes the canopy and the curtains along with the accessories for fixing to the frame.  Alternatively the top canopy can be bought on its own if yours has seen better days, if the sides of your gazebo can be matched and are still in good re-useable condition.  It is important to make sure that any canopy you do purchase fits the frame you are using it on.

Regatta Gazebo 3m x 3m over a hot tub
With a little maintenance, which is required being of metal construction, a metal gazebo should offer many years of hassle free service. A good quality metal gazebo is not easily susceptible to damage being a strong material, however it is worth considering the weight of any you choose to ensure you are able to move around easily when your gazebo is packed away. Additional kits such as a ground bar kit are a great idea offering increased stability and strength to a gazebo on hard surfaces.

Likewise if you are considering a more permanent construction of your metal gazebo, it may be worth taking a look at gazebo flooring, available in different material combinations and sizes, and ideal for offering warmth and comfort whether you are utilising your gazebo on a patio or turfed area.

With space at a premium, a metal gazebo makes perfect sense to extend the living area. Whether as a temporary small area for a cosy dinner or for a more permanent play area for the kids, it’s a great way to find space at a relatively low cost.

If you are thinking of ways to utilise your gazebo on a cool evening, why not invest in a gazebo heater to help offset some of the chill?  The range of available heaters for any type of gazebo is vast, offering a number of options available to you for the creation of radiant warmth long after the sun has disappeared to keep you and your guests warm all year round, including the autumn and winter months.

Gazebo heaters offer the benefit of being efficient and cheap to run using the most up to date infra-red technology.  Combining rapid heat up, you can be warm in seconds and with none of the associated fumes or smell from other fuel types you can enjoy a warm gazebo with no odour, unlike other heating sources. 

Whilst being particularly efficient at just warming a specific area, gazebo heating offers localised heat to you and your friends without wasting energy elsewhere.  Our three and four way gazebo heaters are virtually maintenance free and fit perfectly into an outdoor environment.  Their attractive floodlight casing helps offer instant heat where it is needed and combines an efficient and cost effective source of heat wherever required in a gazebo.  They also offer simple installation, requiring no special tools or requirements to install.

Whilst it is possible to use a gas or patio heater inside a gazebo, extreme caution needs to be exercised and it is certainly not recommended to use any external naked flame due to the the risk of fire.  With an electric gazebo heater you can be sure there is no risk of fire, thanks to the halogen heater offering efficient instant heat, so why take a chance?

Halogen heaters offer cheap directional heat meaning you can aim the heat where it is needed, and in turn there is no unwanted heating of space.  Available as a heater together with its own light, the Heatwave parasol heater can be mounted within a gazebo or parasol and runs off a 230v AC power output.  By clamping to a gazebo or parasol pole the patio heater offers perfect flexibility to be moved as required.

If you have recently purchased a gazebo or are thinking about buying one for the garden, you may want to consider how to keep it in tip top condition to make sure it offers you plenty of life for many years to come.

Whichever kind of gazebo you choose, they are the ideal accessory for the garden, enhancing any outside area offering protection from the sun’s rays during the summer, whilst at the same time providing some kind of shelter from a light shower. A hot tub gazebo can be used to create an intimate atmosphere, or if you are looking for something simple a pop up gazebo offers great flexibility whether you want something to put up in the garden on those lazy summer days, or to take to the beach to offer some respite from hot sunny weather.

Keeping gazebos in good condition depends on the type you buy. Pop up gazebos which are simple to erect and put away need a little basic maintenance if you’re storing during the cooler winter months, whilst a more permanent garden gazebo needs more maintenance to keep it looking in great condition. Always remember to follow the manufacturers instructions before making an attempt to clean any part of the gazebo, but basic cleaning will allow you to keep a gazebo in great condition.

If you have a pop up gazebo the chances are you will want to store it rather than leave it outside during the colder wet months. To begin with, wipe the cover of the canopy before storage. This is most easily done with lukewarm water and a sponge. This will help to remove any dirt and to keep the canopy layer in good condition. Cleaning poles which form part of a pop up gazebo also require some maintenance to ensure they do not become rusted over the time you store them. A good wipe down will suffice. It is important to remember when storing your gazebo, all parts of it are dry before finally storing.

When storing your gazebo keep it in a dry warm place to ensure moisture does not penetrate, causing mould to form in the material. This may cause problems when you get your gazebo out next year.

If you have a more permanent wooden based garden gazebo, it is important to make sure the wood is treated with a suitable wood sealant to stop water ingress. This includes any additional areas such as wooden flooring you may have surrounding it. Dependent on the look you are aiming at with your gazebo, you could use a clear type treatment or a stain to give you an appearance that will offer a more unique look for your garden area. Any metal fixtures will also need suitable metal treatment as well, to ensure they do not become rusted and weakened by moisture and damp conditions.

By following a few simple guidelines for caring for it, you will have many years service from your gazebo.



Just because the sun isn't shining it doesn't mean to say we can't take advantage of the garden area. A garden gazebo is an ideal way of offering protection from the winter elements whilst still enjoying being outside, particularly if the weather is mild and not too cold. There is a wide variety of gazebos to suit every requirement. Here are some of the advantages of having a garden gazebo.

Great All Year Round
Regardless of rain, snow or sun a gazebo can be utilised at any time of the year. Choosing the right gazebo can offer complete protection from the elements allowing you the comfort and luxury of an additional area to sit back and relax in anytime. By adding a gazebo heater, you can be sure to create a cosy area to entertain friends and family whatever the weather outside is doing.

Portability
If you're looking for a simple no nonsense gazebo a pop up gazebo makes a perfect addition for those picnic days out at the beach or in the country. Simple to store when not in use, and even more simple to erect when required, the range of pop up gazebos available means wherever you are you can enjoy the benefits of a roof over your head whenever needed.

Pop up gazebos make the perfect addition if space is limited in your garden offering you the flexibility of having an area of the garden to offer some kind of shade during the warmer months, or for utilising later in the evening when temperatures drop and you want somewhere undercover.

With a wide range of sizes and shapes available the pop up gazebo is ideal for keeping close by and erecting whenever required.

Low Maintenance
WIth the majority of garden gazebos available with UPVC lined waterproof canopies along with side curtains, maintenance is not a great issue. If you do need to clean your gazebo a quick wipe down with a damp cloth and warm soapy water usually will suffice. Gazebo's manufactured from hardwood are a great buy as they do not easily attract dirt and grime. With simple occasional cleaning they stay in tip-top condition.

Long Lasting
Since most people will not buy gazebos every year, buying garden gazebos from good quality materials such as heavyweight UPVC canopies and strong, durable hardwood frames where possible means they will stand the test of time, making them extremely cost effective unlike cheaper alternatives on the market.

Stylish
If you are looking for an ideal addition for your outdoor area this coming year for a garden party for example, then a garden gazebo will not disappoint. With a wide range of sizes available to suit, you will find the perfect gazebo available whether you are looking for a more traditional gazebo or party tent. Party tents are an ideal alternative to a marquee offering a cost effective solution for special events such as a wedding or other special occasion. With a variety of sizes available you can be certain your guests will enjoy themselves in style this year.
