Coleman Gazebo, Event Shelter for Garden and Camping, Sturdy Steel Poles Construction, Large Tent, Portable Sun Shelter with Protection SPF 50, White/Green, M - 3 x 3 m

Like - Usual good Coleman quality, I had a Coleman tent in the 1980s. Very sturdy when up, (see below!).Dislike - We somehow thought that the poles would be carbon fibre, threaded through seams. They are actually powder-coated steel, and you need at least two people to put it up.

Everything you need for the summer

Seems a good tent but beware.It was advertised as 3 meters but in reality much larger

A very nice quality shelter. Having upgraded from a very cheap garden shelter, this oozes quality. Despite instructions saying 2 people are needed to erect this shelter, I have managed to do this without an enormous struggle without assistance. I can recommend buying the side panels, these work straightforwardly clipping into position, and mean you can get some extra shade when really sunny, but more usefully can keep warm as the sun goes down and the evening cools off. On very hot days it can get quite warm under this shelter, in this situation if there isn't a breeze about, an umbrella is definitely cooler.Bottom line, I have no regrets buying this and I would buy it again.

I did what every other Brit did this summer and spent too much money on my garden, I also spent it too late in the year to now enjoy it. Great. Part of this strategy included this tent thing... For the following reasons (amongst others)1. My dogs won’t wee in the garden at night unless I stand outside with them, whistling in whisper tones, and sounding like a day-release patient2. I don’t like sunbathing but I do like to sit on my fat arse outside.So I purchased. It was on offer at the time. I put it up all my myself (and I’m just a woman... I know, right?!). Instructions fairly easy to process, probs took 20 Mins Solo and needed a little step to do the fiddly bit at the top. The bit that’s the most difficult is just getting the canvas orientated and then it’s really easy.Quick to take down, which I had to with the recent winds because otherwise it would have taken off... even with it well battened down it would “lift” in a stiff breeze... I am having a nice man put some tie down rings onto the patio so I can tie it to the floor like the naughty little tent it is, and then will use all year around.Oh, it’s also massive, mine was supposed to be 3x3m, and that’s the area the top covered but the ground space it took up was 3.6x3.6m...Looks nice considering it’s a massive tent.

I have only had this out to check all in order but bought on the strength of using one on a trip recently it was the kitchen and was certainly put to the test with wind and rain the other cheaper concertina type thing got trashed by the elements but this was not fussed apart from nearly lifting off as was not tethered down fully. The water runs off down the legs too rather than raining off the entrances very impressed that's why I got one! I was worried about getting sunburnt but sure it would of saved me from that too. Great thing to have reckon it would take 10 minutes or so to put up? Taped seams and 1000mm hydrotec. Fire resistant. Well made good design.

Bit fiddly to put up 1st time, but sure it’s easier next time. Withstands rain and wind, especially as we anchored it down but some large hook to concrete
