Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the best gazebo size for motorsport?

Most teams choose a 3 m × 6 m or 4 m × 8 m gazebo, depending on vehicle footprint and equipment load.

Can inflatable shelters handle wind and rain?

Yes, provided it is anchored well. The INFL8 series uses reinforced Dacron beams and weighted bases, built specifically for outdoor motorsport conditions. In strong winds, you may want to remove the sidewalls if you have them, to ensure safety.

Do you supply printed branding?

Yes — full digital print available on canopies, sidewalls, awnings, and accessories for professional paddock presentation.

Are Gala Tent products approved for motorsport events?

All frames, covers, and fixings meet UK event safety requirements and are used across multiple national championships.

Can I expand my awning setup later?

Yes, of course. We supply connection kits to expand gazebos, inflatable shelters and awnings to as large an area as you wish to cover.
