10′ X 30′ Water Resistant Polyester White Party Tent Gazebo Canopy With Walls

I’m lucky to have quite a spacious back yard, not just big enough to fit a modest gazebo canopy, not even the mid-range gazebos and canopies for sale out there. I’m not intending to boast but my garden is more like a farm without animals – so much so that it’s less a back garden than a fully fledged village (without houses, except ours) in itself. So when my younger sister’s wedding came up we all knew exactly where the reception was going to be held. It’s not that we couldn’t have afforded to pay for a swanky hotel to celebrate the occasion, it’s just that there is something tacky or at least not quite right about simply settling for conventional environments. As it happened, we ended up having a most beautiful wedding celebration on our own property, though we were pressed to find a little shelter in case (heaven forbid!) it rained, or we just needed a little break from the wind.

Enter this 10 x 30 White Party Gazebo Canopy  (go to amazon here). We didn’t intend to house our entire reception under gazebos and caopies – indeed, we held most of it outside where most of the decorations were, but we needed a place where tired dancers could rest or guests could just chill out for a while with a cold drink. Luckily it didn’t rain on the day but I have since used it in wet weather and I have to say the water resistant polyester does exactly what it says on the tin. On the flipside, the 10 x 30 White Party Gazebo Canopy (go to amazon here) managed to keep the place it covered comfortably cool even during the blistering heat of the wedding day, something we were all extremely grateful for as it meant we could take a breather before braving the sun once more. There were no problems setting it up, although the instructions could have been slightly clearer it was generally quite easy to follow them. I like that the walls can be removed, a feature which was well needed in the heat, and the doors are removable too. We basically had a windowless, doorless gazebo canopy with tables and chairs underneath, it looked beautifully simple.

The gazebo canopy (go to amazon here) was very stable, the ropes and stakes did a fine job at keeping the gazebo in place, and I don’t think it was a ‘one hit wonder’ – I imagine holding all types of gatherings from small groups of friends to major family reunions which we host from time to time. I’d say for the price this is just about the best gazebo canopy around; of course there are better ones if you want a really fancy canopy, for example if the main function you intend to hold under the canopy, as opposed to just using it as a bit of welcome shade on a hot day. Alternatively, big functions such as star studded fashion shows obviously shouldn’t get $150 gazebos and canopies (go to amazon here), though I would have thought that was common sense! I think a lot of gazebos and canopies for sale are overpriced in general, but at the very least the size and elegance needed for a star studded function go beyond what you can buy for a couple hundred bucks. All in all, however, this gazebo canopy is a great product and one that we will be using a lot more in the future, weather permitting.
