Top Gazebo Tips:
- If the weather conditions are looking a bit dicey, consider adding some solid walls to provide a barrier between you and the elements. Or, if mozzies and flies are a problem, mesh walls will give you some peace inside your shelter.
- Always remember to take the canopy off your gazebo before you pack the frame away. This protects it from pinching in the struts and prevents any unnecessary wear and tear on your gazebo.
- If you’re going to set up on bitumen or gravel, it’s a good idea to use sandbags or a base pod kit to anchor your shelter for added stability.
These are the gazebos that have shown themselves to be the best in their category. But are there any other contenders that you reckon can bump our top picks?

We have a Coleman Event 14 and swear by it. During a recent event where a strong wind/rain storm came through our Gazebo was the only one that stayed intact. The down side was that we ended up with at least 15 people sheltering under it whilst they watched theirs blow stay.

It’s nice to know your Event 14 stood strong in foul weather, Harold. I think it would be safe to say that you had it fully guyed out and pegged to the ground? This is often where people come unstuck. Happy Camping!
