I'm looking into getting a decent gazebo for race weekends, found a nice looking one on gazeboshop.com but wondered if anyone can reccomend a gazebo or where to buy one or any advice at all. Many thanks.

How much is the one you're looking at? Surf and turf do some pretty decent ones. Expect to pay 200-300 for a decent one.

Coleman event shelters are good - we've had one for a few years now nad it's holding up well. You can buy sides for it too to make it enclosed.

I'm expecting to pay at least £300, I would like to have sides as well.

Can recommend Surf and Turf heavy duty one, sub £300 inc sides & withstood 30mph winds this winter on the roof of St Pancras Chambers...

You'd easily get a Coleman with sides for that budget (they always on sale somewhere - IIRC without the sides, ours was about £100)

The rock awnings explorer looks good at the right price too, anybody used one?

The surf turf heavy duty does look good, is 3x3 big enough do you think?

The lads that own rock awnings ride with me.

They gave me and my racing partner an ex demo aluminium framed gazebo about four years ago and its still going strong.

Its never leaked and I remember an awful weekend at 10 under the ben where the skip was full of wind broken gazebos after the race, ours was still standing.

You can also get it screen printed for the full on race team look!

+ one for Rockawnings, the Rhino ones, the Hex legs are great, IMO better than the square legged ones.
I get a lot of people (other company's/teams) looking at the gazebo and saying how more sturdy it is etc.
Sides & top are still going strong, bag not so much, (zip gone after a few years)

I think I'm going to run with the rockawnings explorer 3x3, something reassuring about steel.
