Gorilla Gazebo - Review and solution to it blowing away! 

thanks for this specifically. i woke up to mine on its side in the garden after some gail force winds in london. will buy these water weights now as i didnt have them before! liked and subbed :)

Very useful review, thanks Dan.

I really enjoyed your video. Thanks!

Great review and assembly guide. Cheers mate

This is a superb gazebo, exactly what im looking for as I'm a joiner and build summerhouses mostly in peoples gardens and I hate when the rain comes on and drenches my tools etc. This could be a quick and easy solution! Thanks for doing the review mate, this has really helped me to make my choice.

Great video, esp the music and the kids playing away and you kicking the box 100 times. I got one today.

I really appreciated your video - it was good to see an actual person and not a 'sponsored' review. I bought an OutSunny gazebo in a bit of a panic as I started selling at craft shows last year, and it did not stand up well to the winds in December, so I've been looking for a more robust gazebo and your review helped me 'push the button' on this purchase. I looked at the Rhino Expedition ones on Rock Awnings (similar price) but the fabric didn't look as robust and you mentioned how impressed you were with the quality of the fabric. Has the Gazebo stood up to frequent use and windy conditions? My needs are 'easy to assemble', 'portable' (It has to fit into a Ford Focus lol), 'velcro seals on the side panels' (trust me, it's cold as hell when the side panels have gaps in them and it's windy and rainy), 'moderately waterproof' - I don't expect it to stand up to a monsoon but a bit of afternoon drizzle at a craft fair is par for the course so it should be able to cope), and 'isn't going to buckle at the slightest provocation' - my poor little Outsunny one got very battered at the xmas fair and I am retiring it to summer garden shade duty already.

GREAT VIDEO DAN VERY EDUCATIONAL

I have bought 2, Absolutely amazing brand and I love the gazebo 10 out of 10!

Great video mate

Just wanted to thank you for your detailed review. As part of a 60+ husband & wife I was sure putting this gazebo up was going to end our 41 year marriage… but because we followed your instructions to the letter it’s up and looking good and above all your description of how sturdy it is was spot on … so thank you once again.

I've got the exact same one. Thank u for showing us how to put it up because I was struggling 🤣

We've just bought one of these and also researched the weights to go with them. We saw the ones you got, but as experience has shown us, the water ones and the gravel ones just don't cut it! If you go to any market and look at their stalls, they have the flat metal plates that weigh in at 13.5kg, sometimes 2 per leg... Yes, they are a whole lot more expensive, but the Gazebos aren't cheap themselves, and are worth keeping for a few years. Great video and luved the "fatman test"... lol. 10/10

Great vid, thanks a lot!! To hold down gazebos in the past I've used clean/new plastic 25 litre diesel cans, obviously full of water they weigh 25kgs which I've found is plenty good enough!

Can you please post the link for the weights.

Hi, great video. Just wondering if you can use the sides with the weights or if they would get in the way?

Thanks for the video Dan, would you recommend Rock Awning or Gorilla? What would you go for, considering build quality and how it performs?

How much do they cost ?

The link to the eBay shop states - Suitable for poles with a maximum diameter of 25mm. The Gorilla Gazebo is 32mm wide. Do they fit ok?

We’re did you get the sides mage

With just weights on the legs, you're putting more horizontal stress on the legs than if you have it properly tensioned with guy ropes. Taught guy ropes relieve the legs of any side-to-side stress, preventing strain (damage) to the poles.

Im looking for a gazebo to do markets

Hi, I’ve just purchased one of these (and the gazebo holders you put in the links so thanks! :) I’m just wondering, I’m going to use it to train under for excersie and wonder if at its highest point of 2.1 m for the sides, is there sufficient gaps in between the roof structure to be able to lift a barbell above my head?

I'm hoping I can leave my gazebo up permanently because I struggled with it lol

I just ordered a 3x3 that comes with wheeled bag and leg weights. It seemed to be the best value vs quality to me.

Hi was just wondering, do you have to put the canvas/roof on each time you want to use it or could you leave it on and it pops up and down with it on ?

Hi great review. I currently have one of these in my ebay basket. But I have to ask you if it has lasted you.

Do you have to remove the roof on it every time you use it or once it’s on will it fold away with the roof connected?

Would it be possible to leave it at the height when you put the roof on. Hope that makes sense, not any of the 3 height, but the height it is before you pop the legs up. Wanting to use it over hot tub, but lower it when windy

Hi Dan, Does the top roof and sides use velcro or is it just string? I love the video tho! Thanks

Can the gazebo be folded away with the canvas top fitted?

Exactly how much is this Dan?

sorry to disturb you again but did this have 2 entrances with all the sides up or the one entrance

How many lbs does 1 stone equate to? Thanks

I bought the water weights but we had a slight breeze in the garden and it started to lift off the ground, I've bolted it to the floor now.... But all my panels have ripped off! 🤣🤣

Do you know how heavy this is?

Hi was this fully waterproof

Nooice

Just go to your local cheap shop and buy a bucket for a quid, be about 8 litres 8 kilograms each leg,

The photo is what the frame was like under the gorilla cover. Absolutely shocking damage to frame and hot tub. Why don’t they tell you not to use over hot-tub as this is what I was told. Should come with safety warning then!!

Sorry mate, but I think it was 5 skinny fellas!! :D

Good review, but tried to find out where these are made, couldn't find anything but looking at marketing video looks like China, its 5 Chinese guys hanging off it !! personally I would rather pay and extra couple of pounds and have something British made

When the gazebo collapsed the poles were all bent and broken and punctured the spa

Waste of money. I was told wind done the damage to mine. Gazebo collapsed and punctured spa. I was told gazebo is not for this use.
