HEX 45A – 3x3m Pop Up Gazebo – Heavy Duty Aluminium – Optional Colours and Sidewalls

Pop-up Gazebos are designed for temporary event use. They are built in a portable shade structure, typically made from metal and constructed with a concertina system that allows for erection and fold-down in less time. Thanks to this feature, they are also convenient for packing in a carry bag for transport. This convenience makes the pop-up gazebo very different from a permanent structure that is likely to remain undisturbed for many years. If you are looking for a permanent shelter that can be anchored and located somewhere permanently, the pop-up gazebo is not the best option. Otherwise, pop-up gazebos are handy and perfect when you need a portable shade for the backyard, a sports game, a camping trip or trade events.

A cheap gazebo is not designed to last. Some of our customers are not first-time gazebo buyers, they learned from past experience and acknowledge that choosing quality over price is almost always the sustainable choice because it eliminates waste and improves efficiency.

We're proud that our range of alloy gazebos are certified great-strength gazebos with the ability to stand against a range of wind speeds between 50kph and 80kph accordingly and based on models. Each alloy model comes with an individual wind-action engineering report.

However, it is NOT recommended leave the gazebo out in strong winds or unattended, otherwise, you need to take a risk of damage effect from mother nature. Never forget the power of nature and its effects.

A pop-up gazebo is essentially designed for shade, not designed to withstand high wind speeds and heavy rains. It is super challenging if keep it erected in extreme weather no matter how prepared you are, as this can cause a gazebo serious damage.

We advise you never to assume that there is no wind and to make sure that your gazebo is always properly secured by pegs and guy ropes as well as gazebo weights. Particularly in the wet season, storms and gusts of wind often arise unexpectedly and without warning. Please never leave the gazebo outside unattended.

You should also take great care of the pop-up gazebo during the low-level rain, make sure water does not pond on the canopy, this will help prevent breakage and collapse from the weight of water.

The gazebo side walls are great for privacy or shade but they can make your pop-up gazebo more susceptible to winds. Once the wind starts to pick up, you should open the side walls to prevent them from catching the wind. The side walls could act like a sail on a sailboat and cause your gazebo to slide across the ground.

If in some cases, such as during a 3-day tradeshow, you have to leave sides attached, it is advised to get your gazebo lowered down with four closed side walls and make sure it's always properly fastened, this will help keep your gazebo stay in position. If, on the other hand, you only have 3 sidewalls, it is crucial to pay special attention to the direction of the wind when positioning the sturdy outdoor canopy. If the wind enters directly underneath the gazebo, it is dangerous that the wind cannot find its way out and the gazebo is blown away.

Our canopies & sidewalls are made from the best quality imported fabrics. We offer two different types of fabrics for our entire range of plain and custom-made gazebos, one of which is standard PVC coated polyester and the other is 100% Polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Polyester is the most common and cost-effective fabric used in the gazebo industry, while 100% PVC is a premium fabric which has better performance if your gazebo needs to be left up under the direct sun for a long period of time.

Every gazebo package includes a high-quality polyester canopy, 100% PVC fabric is available to upgrade at additional cost. *Black, White, Blue, Light Grey, Navy, Green and Red are standard colours, premium colours can be customized at additional cost.

A set of pegs & guy ropes is included in a standard gazebo package. Your gazebo must be secured to a fixed structure by using pegs and guy ropes to provide additional stability. This is essential to avoid wind damage.  Further support can be achieved using leg weights, like sandbags and steel leg weights.

Anchoring method will vary on different surfaces. Please read about our anchoring tips in How To Anchor A Gazebo.

We stock a comprehensive list of spare parts at low cost in case of damaged or loss.

It is not recommended to use our gazebo replacement(roof or frame) for a gazebo from another supplier, as you will be responsible for the risk of damage if they don't fit properly.
