• What is the difference between a pergola and a gazebo?

  The two structures are similar in that they are both structures that provide garden shade to some extent. The key difference being in how they provide shade due to the shape of the roof. A gazebo provides full coverage whereas a pergola typically contains gaps in its slatted roof and is therefore ideal for climbing plants and other ornamental uses. For more information, see our guides 'What is A Gazebo' and 'What is a Pergola' to learn more about the differences. 

• Which is the best gazebo to buy?

  We all know how unreliable the British weather can be, but that shouldn’t stop you from planning an outdoor event, whichever time of year. With a wide variety of gazebos to choose from, you are guaranteed shelter from unexpected showers or some shade if the sun becomes too bright. 

  Consider whether you want your gazebo to be temporary and permanent, and how many guests you may like to accommodate to discover which gazebo is best for you. Our gazebos come in many shapes and sizes to offer a place to go no matter how many guests you have. And of course, we offer a huge selection of colours and designs so you can find the perfect look for your garden. Choosing the best gazebo depends on what you're looking for. For a temporary structure, we recommend a pop-up gazebo. These provide convenience as they are easily set up and may be dismantled without much hassle. For a permanent structure, we recommend metal and wooden gazebos.

• What is the best pop up gazebo?

  When considering the best pop up gazebo for you, rest assured that our pop up gazebos are designed to be completely fit for purpose.

  We use PVC coated polyester for roofs and sidewalls to make them fully waterproof. For a strong frame, you can choose steel or our exclusive steel/aluminium hybrid, which is both strong and lightweight. The legs are made from steel to give the structure a secure base, while the cross frame is made from aluminium to reduce overhead weight.

  Most of the models have height-adjustable legs for uneven ground and quick-release mechanisms to make putting it up as simple as possible.

• Marquees and Awnings

  There are many options for outdoor shade and shelter. Marquees differ from gazebos in that they always have walls, so are great for events where the weather may be inclement or you want to trap in more heat. They are often used for large parties, outdoor discos and professional events.

  If you have a patio and would like easy access to shade regularly, awnings provide the perfect solution. We stock a vast range of electric and manual awnings, complete with accessories like rain and wind detection kits. For a modern and stylish alternative, you could try out a shade sail. These are designed to offer superior UV protection and have been adapted to be waterproof for rainy days as well.
