What is a pop-up gazebo?
A pop up gazebo is a portable, collapsible structure designed to provide instant shelter in various outdoor settings. Constructed from robust materials such as steel or aluminium, when they are anchored effectively with tie-downs or gazebo weights, these structures can withstand adverse weather conditions, offering protection from the rain, sun, and wind.
Whether you're a small business owner looking for an effective branding solution, or simply someone who enjoys the great outdoors, a pop up gazebo is an indispensable tool.

Unique Technology in each pop up gazebo
Our pop up gazebos are developed exclusively in-house using customer feedback as our guide. Each gazebo has exclusive components that elevate it above many others on the market. External peak pole springs in the commercial aluminium pop gazebos help to protect the framework in windy conditions. We use profile aluminium joints instead of the cast alloy which is in use by our competitors. The Pro 60 is the UK’s only pop up gazebo that uses 60mm hexagonal legs and double reinforced joints. These are just some of the reasons why Gala Tent pop up gazebos are renowned as the strongest and longest-lasting on the UK market.
