The INFL8 Inflatable Event Shelter
The Gala Shade INFL8 is a fully branded inflatable event shelter that inflates in minutes, with no poles or metal frame, available in four sizes.
The Gala Shade INFL8 inflatable event shelter is one of the boldest options in our range. It is built for speed, strength, and branding, giving you a high-impact, freestanding shelter that inflates in minutes.
Whether you are promoting a business at an expo or kitting out a hospitality unit trackside, the INFL8 is designed to get you noticed.
Why we built the INFL8
Our commercial clients need shelter that is tough, tidy, and quick to set up. Traditional pop-up gazebos handle that brief well, and for some events you want a shelter with more presence. The INFL8 is our answer.
Developed with commercial events in mind, the INFL8 takes the strengths of our best-selling printed gazebos and builds them into an inflatable airframe that sets up in minutes and holds firm in changeable weather. There is no metal framework and no fuss. One high-pressure airframe carries your brand.
Key features
The INFL8 is a fully sealed, freestanding structure. It does not rely on constant airflow, so you inflate it once and it stays sturdy. On a windy hilltop or inside a crowded expo hall, it holds its form and your branding.
Who it is for
The INFL8 suits any organisation that wants a high-impact, branded space that assembles fast and travels well. We see strong interest from:
How it compares to a pop-up gazebo
Inflatable gazebos are a growing part of the branded shelter market. They set up faster than some modular systems, and they look slick. Compared with cheaper inflatable tents, the INFL8 is built to Gala Tent's standards for reliability and longevity. Think of it as the pop-up's bolder, curvier cousin.
The INFL8 sits alongside the Gala Shade Pro range rather than replacing it, giving you more options to match your event goals. For a steel-framed shelter at a lower price point, a pop-up gazebo remains an excellent choice. For maximum presence and the fastest set-up, the INFL8 is hard to beat.
Custom printing
Like everything in our printing range, the INFL8 can be fully customised with your logos, colours, and messaging, from a subtle branded trim to full-coverage print across the roof and sides. We offer free in-house artwork support on every order.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do inflatable event shelters need a constant air supply?
No. The INFL8 is a fully sealed airframe. You inflate it once with an electric pump, seal the valves, and it stays rigid throughout your event. It does not need a pump running constantly.
How long does an inflatable gazebo take to set up?
A few minutes. Lay it out, connect an electric pump to the valve, and inflate. There are no poles or metal frame to assemble, so one or two people can have it up quickly.
What sizes does the INFL8 come in?
Four: 3m x 3m, 4m x 4m, 5m x 5m, and 6m x 6m. Choose based on the space you need to cover and the footprint your venue allows.
Can the INFL8 be fully branded?
Yes. The canopy and side panels can be printed with your logos, colours, and messaging, from a simple branded trim to full-coverage print. Free in-house artwork support is included on every order.
Is an inflatable shelter suitable for windy or wet conditions?
The INFL8 is built for outdoor commercial use and comes with a tie-down kit for anchoring. Like any event shelter, it should be securely anchored and taken down in severe weather. Its sealed airframe helps it hold shape in changeable conditions.
What pump do I need, and is it included?
You inflate the INFL8 with an electric pump, which is not included as standard. Ask our team for a suitable pump recommendation when you order.
How long does delivery take?
Branded units are typically delivered within around two weeks of artwork approval. Get in touch for current lead times.
