Your garden, whatever the weather.
A polycarbonate hardtop gazebo that earns its place in a British garden — where the weather rarely cooperates but the desire to be outside never fades.
Imagine a Sunday afternoon beneath a structure that feels genuinely permanent. The dark grey steel frame, ornate scrollwork frieze, and floor-length curtains drawn back in the breeze — it's a room that happens to be outside.
Whether it's a long lunch with family or a quiet evening with a book, this gazebo gives you the confidence to plan around it.
The 6mm brown polycarbonate roof panels are slightly tinted, softening direct sunlight while letting natural light through. They're UV-resistant and handle light rain without issue — the pointed hip roof channels water away from the structure rather than letting it pool.
The curtains hang from hooks on the frame and draw closed on all four sides, giving you full control over shade, privacy, and wind exposure depending on the time of day or season.
The frame combines steel and aluminium for rigidity without excessive weight. Ground stakes are included for lawns and soft surfaces; for patios or paving, standard expansion screws are required (not included — sourced separately to suit your surface type).
Assembly takes 3–4 hours with 2–4 people and requires no planning permission — it falls under permitted development rights, though we always recommend checking with your local council if your plot has any restrictions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The frame is wind-rated to Level 6, meaning it's tested to withstand gusts of 39–49 km/h — consistent with the kind of blustery conditions common across the UK. The pointed roof design also channels rainwater away rather than letting it pool, so it performs well in wet weather without any intervention.
No planning permission is required — this gazebo falls under permitted development rights in England. That said, rules can vary depending on your property type, location, or any existing restrictions, so we recommend checking with your local council if you have any doubt.
Assembly takes approximately 3–4 hours and is recommended for 2–4 people. Full instructions are included in the box. The gazebo arrives in 2 boxes, so it's worth having a clear space ready before you start.
Yes. Each of the four curtain panels hangs independently from hooks on the frame, so you can open or close any side individually. This lets you manage shade, airflow, and privacy depending on the time of day or weather conditions.
The 6mm polycarbonate panels are slightly tinted, which softens direct sunlight and reduces glare without making the space feel dark. You'll get a comfortable, diffused light beneath the canopy — similar to sitting under a pergola with a translucent cover.
The gazebo is suitable for all surfaces. Ground stakes are included for lawns and soft ground. For hard surfaces such as paving or concrete, standard expansion screws are required but not included — these are widely available and should be chosen to suit your specific surface. For timber decking, specialist wood expansion screws are recommended to avoid splitting.
