Metal gazebos – durable aluminium & steel frames for any garden or event

If you have a garden gazebo with a fixed polycarbonate roof, we recommend that you use simple household remedies. For example, use a sponge and soak it in lukewarm water with soap. Regular detergents aren't sufficient for gazebos with a tarpaulin roof and sides and party tents. Especially for stubborn stains from oil or other grease, we advise you to use our highly alkaline PE and PVC cleaner.

The aluminium or steel frames of heavy duty garden pavilions are designed to remain fixed in place permanently. Tarpaulin canopies are removed over winter, while polycarbonate and steel roofs can remain standing all year round. Marquees are a good medium-term solution. Professional models, with 50 mm diameter poles, roof supports, and a ground bar can stay standing for months on end. Pop up gazebos meanwhile vary in their durability according to their price and quality. Cheaper models, even tied down with guy ropes and pegs, are susceptible to medium gusts of wind. Professional models with 50 mm hexagonal legs are more robust but should still be taken down in stormy weather.

There are many factors that come together to determine how long a tent will last. Important to consider are weather conditions, whether the structure is used year round or just for short periods, the type of gazebo, and the quality of the materials. A shelter with a high quality will certainly last longer than a low-priced product. All of our gazebo products are high quality, but you can be assured that our professional, deluxe and superior quality products will see many years of service if you treat them well. Best of all, we guarantee the availability of spare parts for 10 years for many of our products. That means you won't need to throw out the whole gazebo if a part breaks or is misplaced.

Putting up an instant gazebo with a frame made of metal is quick and easy. The gazebo frame comes pre-assembled and only the canopy needs to be attached as you unfold the collapsible frame. Marquee frames can also be assembled relatively quickly. The frame of a permanent gazebo will take a little longer, but once it's in place you won’t have to worry about it again. Assembly instructions are delivered with each product, as well as being available for download on our website. You can also find video guides on our YouTube channel.

Yes, all of our metal gazebos are waterproof. Permanent models feature steel or polycarbonate roofs that keep out rain, while pop up gazebos use PVC or polyester tarpaulins treated for waterproofing.

You have a variety of options for anchoring a metal gazebo to the ground. Ground anchors that attach the foot plates to the ground are included in the delivery of our pop up gazebos and marquees. Heavy duty ground stakes and concrete anchors can be bought separately amongst our range of ground anchors. Tie down kits are a sensible option for shelters that will be standing for longer periods. For permanent gazebos, it's important that the frame is anchored properly. A patio gazebo should be anchored using spot foundations rather than being screwed onto decking or paving stones.

Our steel gazebos are galvanised to protect against rust, while aluminium gazebos are naturally rust-resistant. With proper care and maintenance, your gazebo will remain durable for years.

Both materials have strengths: aluminium gazebos are lightweight and rust-proof, while steel gazebos are heavier and sturdier. Your choice depends on whether you prefer easy handling or maximum stability.
