'Absolutely brilliant' waterproof gazebo perfect for Euros final garden parties

The sun is shining (for some of us) and England are through to another Euros final - so now is the time to get planning for Sunday's big game. If you want to make the most out of the long hours of sunlight, you might be considering a garden party to celebrate the football - and a quick delivery through Amazon could sort you right out.

Gazebos might seem like a tough thing to order, but this Dawsons Living Waterproof Pop Up Gazebo has next-day delivery availabke for guaranteed shelter from whatever elements arrive. This isn't just some flimsy top cover, either - the gazebo has full sides including little windows, to ensure that it's a proper haven from either the sweltering sun or the swirling rain, come what may.

Right now it's £89.99, which is a great price for this sort of shelter, and it comes with a storage bag and four weights to keep it grounded. This isn't meant to be a permanent structure, but rather something you can pop up and down when you need it - like when you're planning a garden party and want a bit of protection. 

The total height is 9.2ft, and the length and width are both 10ft, so there's plenty of room inside for guests. Plus, it promises to be waterproof - just in case the British weather doesn't hold out. This option is beige, but it also comes in grey, and for £139 you can get a heavy duty beige or a heavy duty grey version.

You can tell how solid the gazebo is just by taking a quick glance through the wide range of user reviews that have been left on its page on Amazon, too, with more than 2,000 customers giving their views. One such happy buyer said: "A good quality product that is easy to erect and dismantle. We have had it on grass, and on a decked patio. It has been a superb purchase." Another was similarly pleased, and wrote: "Great gazebo, nice and sturdy with the leg weights, comes in a nice storage bag and the sides go on easily, you definitely need two people to assemble but well worth it. Great service and delivery would recommend and buy from them again."

Finally, a third said: "I’ve had this in my garden for weeks. It keeps the sun off my little grandsons and the rain off us all. It’s not moved in the wind. Brilliant value for money. Going to get another one." That really vouches for the gazebo, although some users have a few more critical notes.

One such customer wrote: "Gazebo is easy to put up the material is rather thin and flaps around loads". That's been echoed by others, like one who said: "The fabric had already started to stretch just from wind blowing through it". This might mean that in high winds you'd be well-advised to collapse the gazebo, as its instructions indicate.

There are plenty of alternatives on the market, of course, although many of them are substantially more expensive. The Range has a sturdier and more semi-permanent gazebo, the New Hampshire Gazebo, that you could opt for, but it costs a whopping £399.99. Argos has some more affordable options including this super-cheap Home Garden Gazebo for just £30, although it doesn't come with sides, so might not be suitable for less desirable weather.

So, for a great mid-range price and the convenience of side walls, the Dawsons Living Waterproof Pop Up Gazebo on Amazon looks a solid bet. For £89.99 you'll be getting the perfect addition to any Euros final garden party, whether it's intended to shelter a barbecue or the TV itself.
