A gazebo is a portable tent-like structure that provides shelter and shade in areas that don't have any. Easy to put up and simple to put down, a gazebo is the ultimate must-have for any beach adventure, camping trip, sporting match, or even a humble backyard barbie. With a range of different sizes available from (3x3m all the way to 6x3m), you have the power to choose whichever one will suit your needs.

The possibilities of a gazebo's use are practically endless! Here are just a few ideas for how you can best use your new gazebo:

• Campsite shade or shelter
• Market, festival, or event stall
• Shelter at athletic carnival or game day
• Awning shade extension
• Beach shade
• Picnic in the park
• Backyard BBQ cover
• Swimming pool or spa shade
• Backyard play area for the littlies

While not recommended for use in hectic weather events like storms or torrential rain, gazebos certainly are resistant to and strong against wet weather elements. Depending on your gazebo's style and brand, the canopy top is made with a durable, water-resistant polyester fabric that can withstand those unexpected showers. While not 100% waterproof, gazebos still do a cracking job at protecting you, your mates, your fam, or your little ones from wet weather should it rain on your parade!

At BCF we offer anti-pooling pro gazebos, giving your gazebo the best chance at water resistance. With a specially created frame to encourage water and rain to roll off the sides, the anti-pooling pro is a must have if you're big on keeping water off your canopy! Available in 3 different sizes to suit your needs: 3x3m, 6x3m, and 4.2x3m.

Always remember that when packing your gazebo up after rain, or when the morning dew has settled, to air out the canopy as soon as you arrive home to both prevent mould growth and keep your gazebo in top tier condition.
