A closer look at Vinyl Printed Gazebos
At Gala Tent, we offer multiple branding options when it comes to our pop-up gazebos. From the intricate and flashy dye-sublimation to the low-cost and changeable banner wraps, to heat-pressed vinyl printing. This article is a closer look at vinyl printed gazebos, which we manufacture here on site at our Yorkshire headquarters.
Why do I need a printed gazebo?
First off, let’s talk about why you might want a printed gazebo. If you’re a business owner or marketing manager, you’ll appreciate the importance of advertising and brand exposure. If you’re out and about where potential customers are, you’ll want to let them know who you are, what you do, and how to find you. Outdoor retailers such as street food sellers, market traders and business that attend fairs and exhibitions – there’s usually plenty of footfall, and not everybody will want to spend their money immediately, but they might want to find you afterwards – a printed gazebo is the perfect tool to catch their eyes from a distance.
Maybe you’re a professional that uses the tent to shelter you as you work – outdoor labour, mobile valeting, for example. Or you supply hot tubs for hire and offer pop up gazebos as an optional extra for the privacy. Adding your web address, company logo, or phone number to the gazebo increases your chances of gaining additional custom.
What is Vinyl Printing?
So what is vinyl printing and what are its benefits? With vinyl printing at Gala Tent, we take one of our twelve stock colours of canopies and gazebo sidewalls, and print UV-protected vinyl graphics that are then pressed using high heat onto those gazebo covers. It’s a fast, professional, and cost-effective way of adding branding to your pop up gazebo.
Let’s say you just want a company logo, or your web address, or social media tags. Nothing too fancy, but effective enough to do a job. Vinyl printing is the way to go. You’ll pay simply for the logo or text you want, on top of the cost of the gazebo. Vinyl prices start from as little as £25 per logo, and increase with the amount of materials needed to do the job.
We mentioned it was fast – depending on the season and the time of day your artwork is approved, we can offer as quick as next working day delivery, although generally we turn this stuff around in 2-3 working days.
We have an experienced team of graphic designers and print technicians on hand to ensure quality control is optimal, and that nothing leaves our doors in anything less than the best possible condition.
The printed gazebo process
When you place an order for a vinyl printed gazebo from Gala Tent, our graphic designers will first arrange your artwork to your satisfaction. We will never print anything until you approve the final design. It is then sent to one of our industrial printing machines for the artwork to be printed off. After that, one of our print technicians will cut out the pieces for printing in a process known as weeding.
The cut vinyl will then be applied by one of the team using our heavyweight heat press machines, before it is checked for quality control and folded carefully for dispatch to you. Depending on the time of year, this entire service can be delivered in as little as a day.
Vinyl Printing alternatives
If you want something that’s colour-matched your brand guidelines, or you want multiple logos on all sides, then I recommend that you opt for our dye-sublimation printing process. It takes a little longer to manufacture, but it allows for a huge amount of creative freedom with the pop up gazebo, and as you pay for a fully printed canopy, for example, you can have as many logos or design flashes as you want.
If you have a more restricted budget but want something colourful and in high resolution then why not consider a printed gazebo valance wrap? This product takes 4 individually manufactured PVC banners, and alongside some bungee toggles, you fix it around the valance section of your gazebo with ease. This allows for multiple printing options - for example if you have a series of different products or services you'd need to promote at different events, or you have show pricing at an exhibition that only applies for a short time, a banner wrap is the ideal solution for short-term promotional needs.

Where can we heat press the artwork onto your gazebo? On all gazebos, we can print up on the top of the canopy, and we can print along the valance that sits around the edges of your gazebo canopy. We can also print onto the sidewalls on the outside – we cannot offer internal printing as standard due to the PVC waterproof coating on the walls – we can print on the door section, and on parts of the window sidewalls.
The images below are examples of our printing guideline templates, including the printable areas on the canopy, plain walls, and the windowed sidewalls.
