Airwave 3 x 9m Party Tent Gazebo Marquee with 3 x Unique WindBars and Side Panels 120g Waterproof Canopy, Blue, 120g

This product was just such good value. We didn't suffer from any of the problems with poles not fitting etc that were mentioned by other reviewers. We found it easy to put up, the parts were well labelled and the instructions were clear. It took six of us. We put it up in the pouring rain and it remained dry in the centre. It did tip at one point in the wind when we left it for an hour or so but was easily righted (likely due the lack of space for guide ropes in our garden than the product itself).

So read the previous reviews but ordered product anyway as thought it would last longer than it did. Given the hot summer we have just experienced so no wind whatsoever, ordered for a summer garden party we were having, so on first impressions was satisfied and impressed, although the 'wind bars' didn't fit. However, by the next day, my opionion changed, some of the roof bars had started to bend and then within a few hours the roof had pretty much caved in. Took the tent day by day 3 anyway and contacted the seller who didn't want to know, advised 'gazebo' is meant as a temporary structure and to quote:-"We have no control over the weather or ground conditions when this item is setup. Therefore it is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure that the erection and anchoring of this product is sufficient. As with all products of this nature this item is designed as a temporary structure and should not be left up, particularly unattended overnight when strong gusts of wind can cause significant damage. - Esc Europe Ltd cannot be held responsible for any damage incurred in this manner.” There were no 'strong gusts of wind' or 'adverse weather condidtions' as this was July when we've had one of the hottest and 'windless' summers.So its still ongoing and I'm disgusted with the level of customer service offered. So if you want a gazebo only for a few hours (as I'm guessing this is what is meant by temporary' then ordered however, if you want for a few days, don't bother you'd be wasting your money and wont even get replacement bars.

Before the review-let's put this in perspective. This is a product that is very cheap, and should be thought of as a one event only device. So against that I must same I am really impressed! It went up reasonably quickly, once it had been guy roped down was stable in light wind and rain. There was a pole that wasn't the right shape or size, and 2 that needed "help" getting them to fit properly, hence the 4 star rating.It took 2 people 2 hours to put up-start to finishIt looked good, did the job of keeping the rain and wind away, and in fact, I have packed it away and will re-use it - but that is a bonus I wan't expecting.It won't stand up to heavy rain unless you use a broom to push the fabric up to release any water than has gathered on the roof, and I can't see it surviving a high wind, but so what? it's much cheaper than hiring something of the same size.Last thoughts, it's useful to have a roll of Duck/Gaffa tape to hand to fix any poles that don't fit, a pair of pliers if things need bending, and a broom to push the roof fabric up if lots of water starts gathering.

The media could not be loaded. Boris said family bubbles in garden.weather wasnt good.came across this.fab value for money.not 100% waterproof would be fragile in high winds but so far lasted us for two get togethers i orderd 4meter by mistake its massive good for money.plastic material with windows n two panels have zips for entrance..well pleased with it.arrived very quick well packed.we pack away propley to store. Downsides it needs more than Borises 6 cus 8 need to lift it once assembled but always a way around it.

Arrived very promptly. Took a while to assemble, but good instructions. Looked nice and did the job as a party shelter. Not very sturdy, the side panels only just fitted and were attached with flimsy Velcro. We had 15mph wind when we put it up, needed to use extra tent pegs to stop it taking off and ended up taking off the side panels as they became sails! Wouldn’t recommend using it in any stronger wind. Easy to take down and pack back in the box, so will be using it again.
