Assembly takes approximately 3 hours and is recommended for 2–4 people. The structure is substantial — the frame alone weighs 61 kg across 3 delivery boxes — so having extra hands makes the process significantly safer and more manageable. Full instructions are included.

For timber decking, we recommend using wood-specific expansion bolts rather than standard concrete anchors, and pre-drilling to the correct hole size is important to avoid splitting the timber — particularly with softwoods such as pine. This method provides superior holding power for a structure of this weight and size.

The frame is wind-rated to Level 6 (39–49 km/h) and the polycarbonate roof is rated to bear a snow load of 91 kg. It is designed for year-round use in the British climate. As a precaution, we recommend clearing heavy snow accumulation from the roof promptly to avoid placing unnecessary stress on the structure.

Yes. All four curtains run on a hook-and-track system with tie-backs, so they can be opened fully, tied back, or removed entirely without tools. This makes it straightforward to adapt the space depending on the weather, season, or occasion.

This gazebo includes a 1-year manufacturer's warranty covering manufacturing defects. If you experience any issues with the frame, roof panels, or curtains as a result of a manufacturing fault within 12 months of purchase, please contact us and we will arrange a resolution.

Yes. The powder-coated aluminium frame, 6mm polycarbonate roof, and multi-surface anchoring system are all designed for permanent, year-round installation rather than seasonal use. The structure is built to remain in place through British winters, provided it is properly anchored and maintained.
