Airwave 3 x 9m Party Tent Gazebo Marquee with 3 x Unique WindBars and Side Panels 120g Waterproof Canopy, Green, 120g

This product was just such good value. We didn't suffer from any of the problems with poles not fitting etc that were mentioned by other reviewers. We found it easy to put up, the parts were well labelled and the instructions were clear. It took six of us. We put it up in the pouring rain and it remained dry in the centre. It did tip at one point in the wind when we left it for an hour or so but was easily righted (likely due the lack of space for guide ropes in our garden than the product itself).

So read the previous reviews but ordered product anyway as thought it would last longer than it did. Given the hot summer we have just experienced so no wind whatsoever, ordered for a summer garden party we were having, so on first impressions was satisfied and impressed, although the 'wind bars' didn't fit. However, by the next day, my opionion changed, some of the roof bars had started to bend and then within a few hours the roof had pretty much caved in. Took the tent day by day 3 anyway and contacted the seller who didn't want to know, advised 'gazebo' is meant as a temporary structure and to quote:-"We have no control over the weather or ground conditions when this item is setup. Therefore it is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure that the erection and anchoring of this product is sufficient. As with all products of this nature this item is designed as a temporary structure and should not be left up, particularly unattended overnight when strong gusts of wind can cause significant damage. - Esc Europe Ltd cannot be held responsible for any damage incurred in this manner.” There were no 'strong gusts of wind' or 'adverse weather condidtions' as this was July when we've had one of the hottest and 'windless' summers.So its still ongoing and I'm disgusted with the level of customer service offered. So if you want a gazebo only for a few hours (as I'm guessing this is what is meant by temporary' then ordered however, if you want for a few days, don't bother you'd be wasting your money and wont even get replacement bars.

The media could not be loaded. Boris said family bubbles in garden.weather wasnt good.came across this.fab value for money.not 100% waterproof would be fragile in high winds but so far lasted us for two get togethers i orderd 4meter by mistake its massive good for money.plastic material with windows n two panels have zips for entrance..well pleased with it.arrived very quick well packed.we pack away propley to store. Downsides it needs more than Borises 6 cus 8 need to lift it once assembled but always a way around it.

I really wanted to give this 4 or 5 stars but I can't. I hate writing negative reviews, I avoid them as much as possible, but I can't avoid this one.1. Why did I buy it ? To replace a teepee and to have something big enough to have a decent paddling pool in one end and a picnic bench in the other.2. Plus points - it's big yet the frame is easy to erect. Err ..... that's it.3. Negative points - Ok, before I start - it's cheap money for the size so I should expect cheap quality. I was, just not how cheap.i. The strips that go down each pole and hook into the legs to keep the roof on do not have that extra ring which connects to the foot. So when a breeze gets under it, it relies on the guy ropes - almost pointless putting pegs through the feet. I used bonsai wire to provide the connection.ii, The side panels don't bridge the gaps between the poles and the velcro isn't long enough to create a decent hold. The first decent breeze had the sides flapping all over the place. I used a £10 roll of gaffer tape around the poles to hold the sides in place with any strength.iii. The material is so thin that the area where the velcro is stitched on is not strong enough. 5 out of the 8 had ripped out of the roof within a couple of hours. I used more of the gaffer tape.iv. If you are thinking of buying the weights for the feet - you will have to damage the side panels where they wrap around the legs to get it to look anything like reasonable, and if you haven't created that hook from the roof to the feet they won't help anyway because they hold the feet down.So only 4 negatives, but that's the roof, the side panels and the fastenings. Not much else left.If it wasn't my daughter's 14th birthday party I'd have stuffed it back in the box and returned it.Would I recommend it - if you are happy with using gaffer tape and creating hooks then you're as daft as I am.If anyone wants a picture of how it's done with gaffer tape and wire just to make it last a bit longer, let me know and I'll email some.

Arrived very promptly. Took a while to assemble, but good instructions. Looked nice and did the job as a party shelter. Not very sturdy, the side panels only just fitted and were attached with flimsy Velcro. We had 15mph wind when we put it up, needed to use extra tent pegs to stop it taking off and ended up taking off the side panels as they became sails! Wouldn’t recommend using it in any stronger wind. Easy to take down and pack back in the box, so will be using it again.
