Airwave 3x3mtr Pop Up Waterproof Gazebo in Beige with 4 Leg Weight Bags

The item arrived on time, put it up on Sunday, fitted lovely but today Weds it was raining and the rain was running through the material, the gazebo was not waterproof and inside is wet through, I was going to put a spa under this but now I have to make alternative arrangements.I can't even take it down yet as it is wet, so will be looking to return this item.In addition to this I have now been waiting 3 days for Hermes to collect the item, not good service at all.Still not collected now nearly a week later.

unfortunately this was not worth the money i paid and will be returning for a full refund, definitely not water proof as stated, erected just after arrival looked good at first but quickly went down hill, it didn't matter we had read the warning paper that we should make sure nothing was trapped before erecting the gazebo the top would not extend up, taking the cover of and starting again still resulted in the top not extending up, we persevered as we had guest arriving, we would work out later why the top would not extend. within 30 minutes it started to rain,just the reason we purchased it for, sat out under the gazebo guest started to get wet, they were sat under the holes in the cover to let the water of the cover!! it was not because it was not fully extended, rain was coming in from all over the top of the gazebo especially but not just from the Velcro fasteners, it was appalling such a big let down from what at first looked a good piece of kit as it included bags for the leg weights as well, this is not a product i would recommend,

OK, we've had this (White 3m x 3m) up one wet night, here's my thoughts:+ Compared to the pathetic £100 B&Q gazebo I purchased, spent an hour assembling and then 30mins immediately disassembling and returning to due a) bad design and b) extreme flimsiness, this Gazebo is streets ahead. It took me wife and I 15mins to get it up, a further 10mins to put the windbars, guide ropes and foot bags up. Feels much more sturdy than the B&Q one due to the design of the pop-up frame, is also much smaller and ligher when packed up.+ White canopy looks great against our white-walled house+ Plenty of options around which 'walls' go on which sides+ Mostly waterproof, keeps the rain out but expect the odd drips inside after a prolonged shower.It's let down by the following:- It's not 100% waterproof - I'm yet to find a gazebo that is, the B&Q one certainly wasn't waterproof either- No instructions around how to attach leg weights, I think you just wrap them around the legs, velcro them up and use the bottom eyelet to pin to the feet, but I didn't feel these worked very well- Side wall attachment (velcro) aren't great, can leave gaping hopes between the legs and the side wall canvas- Generally feels the manufacturer is aiming for high-production one-off sales and not after-service nor product longevity, I would feel better if the Gazebo instructions included a website where you could order spares for any part (with metal alternatives to the plastics)- I'm not sure how long it'll last - I doubt the plastic components will withstand much abuse, and I felt I had to really stretch the roof canopy during fitting, which can't have helped the waterproof elements and feels like it could easily rip after a few more attachments.I don't intend to leave this up all summer, it'll be erected for specific occasions then taken down the following morning - I don't think this would last very well outside for x weeks at a time. I just hope it can survive the pop-up/pop-down process a couple of times a month during the summer - I'll update if/when I see a failure.

2 hours after a very easy setup on Saturday morning the heavens opened and the rain came down and straight through the gazebo like it wasn't there. The cardboard boxes were ruined, the plastic boxes slowly filled with water and the bags were sodden. In the end, anything we did value we put into the van and kept the lids on everything else (occasionally taking them off because they too were filling with water). Foam inserts on the tool kits were also water logged. My sleeping bag and travel pillow were rendered useless by the lack of protection the gazebo afforded. In the end it was taken down (admittedly very easy) on the Sunday and while taking it down I took a couple of pictures of the build quality - it appears one of the supports had cracked and a couple of the others were looking stressed. In a couple of places the stitching was very poor - I took a photo of a particularly bad section. It wasn't windy - we hadn't needed to weigh the gazebo down so I can only imagine that the damage was done during setup or teardown - but that was so stress free I can only put it down to a sub standard part.Final words: This is not waterproof in the slightest, do not buy.

Airwave 3x3mtr Pop Up Waterproof Gazebo in Grey with 2 WindBars and 4 Leg Weight Bags I rarely write reviews or leave feedback but making a formal complaint this time - although I'm sure there are lots of happy customers.For me however on opening and setting up for the first time:- roof leaked in 2 places, one in the middle and back left (not the holes)- righthand side upper supports were bent- leaky roof = not waterproof- only 1 molded windbar clip- the top didnt full clip into place- item was also 1 day late which defeats the idea of Primebased on other feedback on this same item - i strongly believe that the one i received was just poorly made, potentially damaged in transit or just the odd one which had lower quality manufacturing. box was in good condition so no obvious signs of foul playplay provide some support here!
