VOUNOT 3m x 3m Pop Up Gazebo with Sides & 4 Weight Bags & Carry Bag, Marquee Garden Party Tent Outdoor, White

The fabric cover is a good fit and the whole thing is decent quality. However I think I have identified a potential weak point on the legs. The extension section of the legs is a very loose loose fit causing the leg to wobble at the joint. I have fitted a 1" x 1" X 6" piece of aluminium angle along the joint fastened above and below the joint with reusable zip ties. This strengthens the joint, straightening it and eliminating the wobble which could eventually break the joint. An easy fix and easily removable. The gazebo is easy to put up by two people and, done very carefully, one person can do it by extending each leg in small stages. The whole thing is pretty stable once up especially with the leg mod described above. It is excellent value at this quality and, treated carefully, will last many years. It is heavy to carry so it isn't really an option for the beach unless the beach is only a very short distance away. I highly recommend this item. Update Mid Sept and it been up for almost four solid months through every nuance the British weather can throw at it. 100% waterproof. Decent long pegs and heavier duty guys ropes fitted plus an easy extra strap on aluminium angle fitted to each leg on the overlap in the middle to stop any movement damaging what I consider the weak point. Prevention is better than cure as they say. It cheap, quick and simple to do and made this gazebo as steady as a rock. The cover has faded very slightly but that is to be expected. No stitching, frame or cover damage of any description other than the little fading already mentioned. For the money you just cannot go wrong. Treat this gazebo with a little care and respect and it will be become a family heirloom. Oh btw the 3m X 3m dimension is the actual size of the roof cover and not the splayed out feet as many other manufacturers do. Something to consider if you are space restricted. I reckon you need at least 3.25m X 3.25m clear space plus room for extremal guys. You can get away with just using the leg bags if it isn't too windy. All in all I consider this probably the best bargain on Amazon and as good, if not better than gazebo's I've seen at three times the price.

Leave this well alone. The price looks attractive, but if you live anywhere there’s the slightest bit of wind this will let you down. It looks sturdy when it’s up, but the Velcro is poorly stitched and very quickly falls off - and it does nothing to hold the frame together. The legs bent and buckled at the slightest bit of wind, and our garden is enclosed on all sides. The rivets that hold parts of the top frame together drop out and the side, cross-cross sections of support just bend out of shape - again, with very little provocation. We used all four guide ropes and pegged it down, but it doesn’t take much for the flimsy metal to bend and get pulled out of shape. We’ve had this one year - used it twice - and it’s now only fit for the bin. Very disappointing purchase.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this gazebo given the low price (£85 when I purchased) most others at this price do not have sides. I easily have a table and 4 chairs, and a TV in it and there's still plenty of room. The sandbags are useless, 20km wind lifted gazebo and weighs easily, the straps if the sand bags then ripped off. So I've tied mine to my garden fence as I plan to leave it up over the summer as a sort of makeshift 'summer house'/outdoor home office 😁 we'll see how it fares. It's easy to put up once you figure out how to do it as instructions are very poor, and seems like it will be quite easy to collapse. I'm asking a lot of it and so far it's doing quite well, sonid definitely recommend it for use as intended

Although I read many negative reviews about the Vounot 3m x 3m Pop Up Gazebo, we decided to give it a try because it seemed like the best option in terms of price and value. I’m really glad I trusted my instincts – this is actually a great gazebo! Of course, no gazebo is made to withstand strong storms, and I believe that applies to all types, not just this one. However, it held up perfectly fine in light wind. Since it’s a pop-up model, it’s true that it feels a bit delicate when opening and folding it, so you have to handle it with care – it could bend or break if you’re not cautious. But once it’s fully set up, it stands very firmly and looks really nice! We’ve already used it three times while camping, and we are completely satisfied with it. The colour is beautiful too. Overall, it was a great purchase and I would definitely recommend it to others.

Really easy to set it up and looks fairly nice also. Biggest issues, the frame needed tightening up as some of the nuts fell out and definitely not close to waterproof.

If I were to summarise: • For garden parties, casual summer use, domestic gathering: Yes — this is a very good option. The size is generous, the features (sides, weight bags) add value, and the setup is much easier than a full marquee. Good value for the money. • For regular use, heavy weather, or professional event settings: Use with caution. It may serve ok if you’re careful, but it’s likely not built for continuous outdoor exposure in harsh conditions or unattended installation. • Best value scenario: If you buy it for a garden and you bring it down or secure it when not in use, then it will likely fulfil its purpose well — and exceed expectations vs budget models.

Unfortunately there is no extra materatial on the stitching on the top of the canopy cover at the seams,. This means there are holes all over the top of the canopy at the points of stitching, so rain immediately starts dripping through making it completely unfit for purpose in wet weather. Would be fine if you only wanted it for shade on sunny days, but to me making sure the seams have extra fabric is absolutely basic and fundamental for an item like this. This is a refllection that this is a 'cheap' (comparatively to other gazebos, not actually that cheap!) and unfortuantely poor quality item. Best to spend a bit more and get something that actually works and lasts. Compeltely not fit for purpose in my view unfortunately.

For the price, this is a pretty good gazebo. Its £50 and for that I have no complaints. All Gazebos need to be handled with care, setup correctly and used in the correct conditions. I have owned many Gazebos which used and abused at school fairs etc, and have seen many, many damaged gazebos. Most of the time its due to either being up in too high wind, not being anchored correctly or someone using too much force to collapse the frame, or trying to do it on their own. This applies to £180 Gazebos and £50 ones alike. With the above said, I found this gazebo to be identical design to pretty much every other gazebo out there including the more expensive ones. The Aluminium frame is the same standard construction and the canopy sufficient for its needs. Overall for under £50 would recommend.
