MasterCanopy Durable Ez Pop-up Gazebo Tent with Roller Bag(3x3M,Black)

Product Information

Upgraded 3-Height Settings: The improved toggle leg adjustment will keep your fingers pinch-free and is easier to unlatch...

The ABC Canopy 3×3 metres pop-up gazebo is probably the best of its kind that you’ll find for under 150 pounds, even pipping the excellent Master Canopy gazebo and All season Gazebo to our top spot by a whisker. There are two main parts that make or break the best pop-up gazebos; the metal frame and the canopy itself, and ABC canopy have nailed both here.Made from 500 denier polyester and having PU lining and heat-sealed seams, the canopy is exceptionally quality for the price and I was impressed by the attention to detail, such as having reinforced parts where it would come under the most stress when stretched over the frame. As well as being a doddle to put up and take down, a good gazebo should be able to handle a bit of wind and rain too. Manufacturers recommend that gazebos should be taken down in anything more than light wind, but we know that most people don't do this. At 3.6 x 3.6 metres, this is a good sized gazebo and there’s plenty of space for adding chairs and a table, even with the netting or curtains drawn and zipped. The highest point of the ceiling is quite impressive too, at least from the outside, but the metal from inside is obviously lower. Still, it is spacious, and can easily accommodate 4-6 people. We timed how long it took to put up and take down each gazebo. We also rated each one for how easy it is to adjust the height and tighten the fabric roof. There are three heights to choose from (81”, 77”, and 73.2”), and this is adjusted by pushing the red button on each leg to extend it. According to MasterCanopy, the height adjustment feature is pinch-proof. Although I didn’t end up pinching my fingers each time I changed the height, you do need to be very careful!

We all know that UK summers are not all about sunshine, and out of the blue thunder showers are quite common, so of course it’s important to have a pop-up gazebo that is not just going to let the rain through. I’m happy to say that after putting it to the test, this model is in fact waterproof like ABC Canopies claim. On the lookout for a pop-up gazebo? Well, here are some of the main factors you should be thinking about before parting ways with your hard-earned cash. Size The gazebo comes with the usual extras such as weight bags to be filled with water or sand, tent pegs, four guide ropes, and a wheeled carry bag to store it all in. The carry bag is as good as the ones for both the ABC and Master Canopy products, and I had no complaints about its quality. It’s not going to last forever, but it is decent.So, can this gazebo really be set up in just one minute? Unfortunately, no, it took about 15 minutes with two people, but that’s still not particularly long. Upgraded Fabric: The improved fabric is UV coated to reflect 99% of harmful sun rays and water-resistant.... So, with that being said let’s take a look at the best-selling pop-up gazebos to see if they live up to the hype, and are worth investing in. Best Pop-up Gazebo Buyer’s Guide Opt for a waterproof canopy material where the seams have all been sealed. This will ensure that no water comes through the fabric during rainfall. You can also find canopy tents where the fabric has been coated so that it does not allow any UV rays to pass through, protecting your guests from the harmful effects of the sun. For what this product is, I would say that it offers very good value for money. Yes, there are plenty of cheaper options out there, but they don’t offer the same level of quality as the MasterCanopy Durable EZ Pop-Up Gazebo. From the canopy to the framework, this is a product that has been built to last, even more so than some of its pricier competitors.

The Master Canopy pop-up gazebo comes in its very own wheeled carry bag, and thoughtfully, the company has printed the assembly instructions on the outside of the bag. I thought this was a nice touch, even if they aren’t really needed after the first set up as it’s so simple. With Spring and simmer soon to be rolling around, a large percentage of the population will be spending most of their free time in their gardens, enjoying the warmer weather. However, we UK natives aren’t typically the most sensible when it comes to the sun, and the possible negative effects that too much of it can have on us and our loved ones. There’s nothing wrong with catching a few rays, but it should always be done in moderation, and having a cool, shaded area to take a break from all that UV is something that should be on the top of your list.The most important part of a pop-up gazebo is the frame. A weak frame will cause you so many headaches it’s just not worth trying to list them all. Look for frames that are made of powder coated steel, with support bars, and reinforced corner sections. Ease of assembly In addition to the large drape curtains, the KEXMY pop-up gazebo also comes with netted sides to keep gnats, midges, and flies outside and away from you, your food and your drinks. The netting is colour matched to the gazebo, at least ours was, and the material is not flimsy in any way. The same can be said for the main material of the canopy and curtains. Made from woven 180g/m2 pa coated polyester, the dark beige material is very durable, will cut out unwanted UV, and will stop you getting wet in a shower. It has to be said though, that this isn’t completely waterproof material, and in heavy rain, water may pool up on top and begin to drip through. It isn’t a lot, and it does have to rain quite heavily for it to happen, but it was something that we noticed when we tested ours, so probably not a great idea to leave it out all autumn and winter with cushioned garden furniture inside unless sprayed with water repellant first.

While some people love the ease and convenience of a pop-up gazebo, others, including myself, have had bad experiences with flimsy and unstable products in the past. There’s nothing quite like a gazebo collapsing over the top of a perfectly-planned dinner party, or a gust of wind sending one flying down a farmer’s market.

I have set the gazebo up in varying conditions since then, but it does start to feel a little unstable once winds get above 30-40km/h. That said, I was using my gazebo in a very exposed spot – if you’ve got more shelter around, whether in the form of trees, buildings, or anything else, then you shouldn’t have any issues with stability. Before the gazebo frame is fully extended, put the fabric cover on. If you extend the frame before putting the cover on, you'll find it very difficult to stretch the fabric over the frame. Put the fabric over the frame first, and you'll open the frame and find a nice taut fabric cover on top. There are also two window panels which can be attached using Velcro. However, the plastic material used for these seemed a little brittle to me so I wouldn’t attach and remove them too often if I was to use this gazebo over the summer. Included in the price are all the things you’d expect; sandbags, guide ropes, ground stakes, etc. and of course there is a carry bag to store everything away once it’s folded down. Durability in light wind was tested in gusts up to 15mph. Durability in strong gusts was tested in gusts of more than 30mph, which exceeds the stated competence of every gazebo we tested.
