Your garden, enjoyed in every season.
A hardtop garden gazebo that earns its place all year round — not just on the rare perfect summer's day.
Imagine Sunday mornings with coffee under a canopy of soft, diffused light, rain pattering quietly on the roof above. Or long evenings with friends, curtains drawn, lanterns lit, the garden transformed into something altogether more considered.
At 3 x 4 metres, there's room for a full dining set, a lounge corner, or the hot tub you've been meaning to shelter properly.
The roof is built from 6mm twin-wall polycarbonate panels — hollow-channel construction that insulates, diffuses light, and holds firm under a snow load of 20 kg/㎡. The UPF 30+ rating blocks harmful UV rays while keeping the space beneath bright and airy rather than dark and oppressive.
The two-tier ventilation design isn't decorative — the raised crown allows warm air to escape and draws a natural breeze through the canopy, making a genuine difference on still summer days.
The powder-coated aluminium frame is built around 7.6 x 7.6 cm columns with 17 x 17 cm stabilising feet. It anchors to hard surfaces via included expansion screws, or to lawn and soil via included ground stakes. For timber decking, specialist wood screws are required and should be sourced separately.
Assembly takes 2–3 hours with 2–4 people. Planning permission is not typically required under permitted development rights, though we always recommend checking with your local council if you have any doubt.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The 6mm twin-wall polycarbonate panels are fully waterproof and UV-resistant to UPF 30+. They are designed to channel rainwater away from the structure while keeping the space beneath dry and comfortable.
The structure is rated to a snow load of 20 kg/m². Across the full 12 m² floor area, this equates to a total roof load capacity of approximately 240 kg. During heavy snowfall, we recommend clearing snow promptly to stay within safe operating limits.
Yes, both the polyester curtains and the mesh netting panels are fully removable. The curtains are not machine washable — spot cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended to maintain the fabric and colour.
Planning permission is not typically required for a garden gazebo of this size, as it generally falls under permitted development rights in England and Wales. We always recommend checking with your local council if you are in a conservation area, have a listed property, or are unsure about your specific situation.
The gazebo can be installed on hard surfaces such as concrete or paving using the included expansion screws, or on soft ground such as lawn using the included ground stakes. For timber decking, specialist wood screws are required to avoid splitting — these are not included and should be sourced separately.
Assembly typically takes 2–3 hours and is designed for 2–4 people working together. A full assembly manual is included in the box. We recommend laying out all components before starting and having at least two people present for lifting the roof section safely.
