Available in a range of sizes and constructions to work with the space you have, an outdoor gazebo is a must-have for garden parties, sunshine relaxation, and shelter for when it rains!

Types of Gazebos for Sale

We have a great range when it comes to choosing your garden gazebo, with several sizes and colours to make your garden as practical and stylish as possible.

Whether you keep it simple with a pop up gazebo with sides, an ultra-durable hardtop garden gazebo for year-round use, or a marquee gazebo for the ultimate celebration, you’ll find them all here.

Pop Up Gazebo with Sides

A pop up gazebo with sides is quick to build and easy to transport, great for camping, barbecues, or enjoying the great outdoors with some shade.

Simply pop up your gazebo when you need shelter from the sun (or rain!) and store away when not needed. Ideal for smaller gardens or entertaining on the move, you can use the sides for extra wind protection and a classic look.

Hardtop Garden Gazebo For All Weather

For an outdoor gazebo to protect you from the elements, there’s nothing quite like a hardtop gazebo with a polycarbonate roof. Great for extended use, this outdoor gazebo works brilliantly with garden lounge sets.

Set the scene inside your garden gazebo with ambient solar lights, and don’t forget to stock up on garden footstools for full relaxation!

Benefits of having a Gazebo

If you’re considering an outdoor gazebo for your garden, there’s loads of benefits for you and your garden furniture!

Read on for our top tips on why a gazebo is a worthwhile addition to any garden.

Protection against the weather

Keep covered up with our range of garden gazebos. Not only does a gazebo offer protection against unexpected downpours, but they also provide relief from excess UV rays.

We love spending time outdoors when it’s sunny, but be sure to make the most of the shade, especially when the sun is at its strongest. A gazebo means you can enjoy the great outdoors without overdoing it!

Prolongs the life of garden furniture

Kitting out your outside space with garden furniture is great for gatherings and al-fresco dining, but as we know, it isn’t always barbecue weather!

Housing your wooden and rattan furniture inside the gazebo will keep it safe from the worst of the rain and potential fading in the sun. We’d still recommend garden furniture covers for the off-season.

Less permanent than a garden building

A garden building is a fantastic addition for socialising and relaxing, but an outdoor gazebo is a more affordable alternative, as well as being portable in the case of pop-up gazebos!

A gazebo works well for rented properties too – but always double check with your landlord first!

FAQs

Do I need permission for a gazebo?

You're good to go with setting up a gazebo if it follows the local council regulations. It's a smart move to seek permission if you plan on making any significant extensions or modifications to the gazebo.

How long can you leave a gazebo up?

You've got options! For a permanent fixture, leaving it up year-round is totally fine. If you're going for a temporary setup like a pop-up gazebo, keeping it out for a few days when the weather's nice is okay, just be sure to check local council regulations to see how long you can leave it up.

Can you use a gazebo all year round?

Keep your gazebo in top shape year-round with a bit of love. Start by opting for a hardtop design for durability. Regular maintenance includes removing accumulated dust, leaves, and branches from the roof. Before the harsh winter sets in, give it a once-over, checking the main pillars, screws, and bolts to ensure everything's secure and ready to weather the elements.

How close can a gazebo be to a fence? Leave about 2 metres between your gazebo and the fence. This gives you more space for repairs and maintenance around the gazebo.

How high can my gazebo be without planning permission?

If it’s beyond 2 metres from the property line, the maximum height is 4 metres. If it's within 2 metres from the boundary, it shouldn’t exceed 3 metres. Check with your local planning office to avoid any unwelcoming surprises!

Can I put a gazebo next to my neighbour's fence?

Yes, you can! However, local council regulations about this change from one place to another. You should chat with your neighbour about your plans while checking with your local planning office.
