Has anyone seen anywhere selling the concertina type instant pop up Gazebo's?

B&Q, Homebase, Tesco Direct all sold out, I would prefer to buy one in person than have one delivered. and need it by the weekend.  Under £100 preferably,

 

Much appreciated

Thanks Skippy, Had a look on the website.  The reviews aren't very inspiring though "don't waste your money" doesn't really fill me with confidence.   I'll keep on looking.

Pop up gazebos are crap and should be banned from all campsites.  They go up easily and come down even easier!  Slight gust of wind and they are off.

Totally agree, your better of spending the money on a day tent, doesn't take much longer to put up, is sturdier and has built in sides and curtains if you need them.

Totally agree get a proper day tent, gazebos on camp sites are dangerous and when they do take off it always seems to be some other persons equipment/car/van that gets damaged not the gazebo owners.

Well done Bunch Bunch. Gazebos are not meant for camping use and are downright dangerous !

Hi Bunch, Our friends got through two gazebos in 12 months; they wish they'd just spent the extra on the dayroom in the first place.

I have to agree with Skippy the Halfords gazebos are absolutely useless and not worth the money they are asking for.  We bought one for the garden for a family party last weekend and it snapped in the wind and rain.
