When you get an instant canopy you could quite literally look to spend anything from 50 pounds right up to several thousand pounds so it pays to ensure you are getting the best one or you will simply be needlessly wasting your money. Buy one too big and you may end up spending more than you need to – too small and it could possibly not give the required amount of shelter. If you buy a very cheap one, and want to use it frequently, it will most probably not sustain repeated erecting and taking down since the quality of fabric and the structure are not high enough. At the same time, buying a heavy duty gazebo to use in the back garden a couple of times a season, you will probably spend a great deal more than is necessary.

The most critical step is deciding what your pop up gazebo is going to be used for. For example, is it for home or business use? Is it for weekly use or infrequent use? Does it need to be a particular colour? Does it require to be printed with a company motif? What area will it need to shelter? Does it require to be open-sided to allow folk to freely walk in and out or does it need side walls and an entrance to make it weather resistant? Once you have found answers to these questions, your canopy supplier can advise which range, size and style are best for your own needs.

With regard to value for money, you should bear in mind that an instant canopy is only good value if the gazebo itself is suited for its end use. If your fifty pound shelter will last only a handful of uses and need to be replaced, then you have wasted your money. For the majority of gazebo buyers, a shelter will just be needed for a few days of the year for eating in the garden. In such cases, a cheaper gazebo probably would be decent value for money – it erects quickly, protects from the weather, and folds away in a neat, compact bag. However, these cheap tents will just last a couple of summers before the fabric perishes or the frame bends or twists.

There is additionally the consideration of what is supplied in the gazebo pack – the really cheap gazebos will not typically come with any side walls or a fixing kit, they will typically simply have the frame, a cover and a bag. That’s okay if this is all you need but most people, even home users, need to have something a bit sturdier and weather proof. If that is the case, you should think about one from popup-gazebo.com, whose pop up gazebo kits are the perfect mix of low cost and durability. All the gazebos in on sale are manufactured to the highest possible quality standards employing strong yet very light weight metals and fabrics. But, even the best shelters have a range to cover a variety of possible uses. The budget end of the range – the R330, is still a great quality gazebo, but it does not need the same specification of materials as the higher end ones such as the professional gazebo, the XP that will withstand storms and is good enough to be used every week and year after year for many years. Don’t think of this as better and worse gazebos, more ones that are designed for professional use and ones that are best suited to use in your back garden. However if you correctly match the gazebo to its use you will be very happy.
