Big PArty Gazebo

[Neil]

By the sounds of the experts, is it worth buying sides for my gazebo I'm taking. It's only a mere 3mx3m special from Wollies and is only 28mm.
  I thought that MB site was made of grass, so with big pegs, would it hold?

   Any thoughts

Yeah it'll go in. If not i have a sledge hammer in the trailer.

Adding the sides can act as a large sail! Last year we were in the centre of Maison Blanche and had one hairy moment when a 9m x 3m gazebo got the wind under it and it lifted a few feet off the ground. That said, it hadn't been pegged into the ground properly or any guy ropes attached.

Thats why we're securing three together this year!!

Hi JPC,
          Three together =Bigger Sail. Bigger = Faster & Higher. I always suggest you place a return addres on Gazebo's or atleast a telephone 3 where you can go to collect the pieces.

Ah, yes, but also much heavier. It's also going to be sucured down well, and hopefully positioned behind the bank to aid as a wind block. We've found before with these large ones that as long as you secure them properly they stay on the ground, but can tend to buckle or lean in very high winds. Hence why we're going for the larger style. That and the fact that we have 24 people going and are expecting several visitors over the wekend!!

We bought ours cheap in Carrefour and left it for the Pikies, that is unless of course Paddy can confirm whether or not it is still standing on Houx from his recent recce !!

L.A.D.S. have just bought a Party Tent from B & Q. 3m x 9m with sides - £74.48 - reduced from £99. Not tried it yet. Suspect we won't get it back in the box once if we try it out. Taking six inch nails to peg it down, as our pitch was rock hard last year.

I remember that picture.

Wouldn't it be awful to be part of the clean up crew? All those UNBROKEN bottles to share with the local coppers....
