If you’re worried about rain ruining your bank holiday weekend plans, this huge gazebo from Amazon is the perfect addition to your outdoor hosting and it’s now on sale with 20% off
The first big bank holiday weekend of the year is fast approaching, and with the sun shining lately it’s a good bet you’ve probably planned some outdoor activities or maybe even decided to host outdoors this year. However as we can’t always rely on the British weather to be predictable, it’s always good to have a backup plan, which is why this Quictent Pop Up Gazebo with 4 Sides is a great last minute addition.
The waterproof gazebo is ideal for protecting you from the sun if it does stay warm, or for keeping you sheltered from any unexpected downpours we might have. Usually priced at £149.99, it’s currently on sale with 20% off, slashing the price to £119.99 and saving you £30.

Unlike most gazebos, which have open sides and a simple roof covering, the Quictent Pop Up Gazebo comes with four fully removable side panels, so you can keep yourselves covered from any showers (or pesky insects). Mesh windows ensure you still get plenty of light, and the sides can be removed individually or altogether to make it suit your garden.
The roof is completely waterproof and UV 50+ protected, and the height can be adjusted to three different heights; 245cm, 255cm and 265cm. It’s also roomy enough for hosting dinners or enjoying activities in, measuring three metres by three metres.
It’s quick and easy to set up, needing just two people and 10 minutes to have it fully erected, and folds up into a handy travel bag so you can easily take it camping or to the beach. Included in the kit you’ll get one gazebo, two side walls with zip openings, two side walls with mesh windows, four sandbags (to secure it down), eight ground pegs and one carry bag.
You can also pick from a choice of five colours, with some colours differing in price.
Reviewers have been praising it too, with one shopper writing: “This pop-up is made extra sturdy. It raises high enough to cover the entrance to our tent camper to allow us to have a “living room” and a dry entrance to the tent. The wall options are fantastic and allow to configure it any way that you prefer. The quick up center makes this pop-up extra easy to set-up and take down. Extremely happy with it so far. The only thing that could make it better would be a better wall hanging system – not a fan of all the velcro straps that just wrap around the frame.”
Another agreed: “As described, very easy to assemble. Very happy with the purchase.”
One reviewer did mention: “This is the 3rd one I had to buy. I don’t like the velcro tabs much and there is not enough to fill the gaps. I wish the sides would also have zippers or a sturdier way to install them? The wind bows where I live and in 3 months it starts tearing itself apart. I use it for my spa for privacy and protection from the weather but, it doesn’t last long.”
Alternatively, you can pick up the VonHaus Pop Up Gazebo for £89. This also features four adjustable side panels for protection, and comes in three sizes, 2×2 metres, 2.5×2.5 metres, or 3×3 metres.
Elsewhere at Wayfair, the 3m x 3m Steel Pop Up Canopy is down from £138.99 to £115.99, saving you £23. It also has adjustable heights, and three removable walls (with one left open) for more of an indoor-outdoor feel.
