Can anyone recommend a sturdy gazebo/camping shelter type thing?

It's actually for in the garden but I thought camping people might have some ideas

The garden is a total sun trap, and without wanting to complain, it is often just far too hot to be pleasant and an umbrella does not give enough shade for everyone when we have friends/family over.

I want something that can stay up all summer so it would need to be fairly sturdy. Also, the way the sun shines later in the day, it would need two sides to keep us in the shade. 3m x 3m is probably the best size for the space that we have.

I have looked online, but there are so many that I don't know where to start! Guy ropes are not really going to work for us, so I would need one that we can peg down to the patio (happy to drill holes!)

TIA

Ikea have some nice ones, range of prices and types.

(We're getting rid of our Ikea Karlso one because it only got used a few times before we discovered camping and it's lived in the shed ever since, whereabouts are you? )

You probably would be better off with something like this

Coleman event shelter is brilliant, very sturdy and uv protection

[mawbroon]

I have been looking at these all morning and the Coleman does look good.

My concern is the tape thinggys on the ground. How do you stop folk tripping over them?

Got sent a link yesterday - marshals have their shelters on sale, including Coleman event shelters.

Hope this helps ;-) ( or anyone else in the want of one)

Apparently Tesco have a gazebo for £35 but don't know if it will be sturdy enough to be up all summer. My DB bought one for camping.

We have the Coleman event shelter and it's great. Spacious inside to.
