Seeking shelter.
Spring has fully sprung, and many of us are rediscovering
that extra room of the house that only really gets used for a few months each
year; the garden. But the thing about most gardens is that they lack a roof
(crazy, we know) meaning that if, like us, you live on the pleasant island
called Great Britain, you're gonna get wet at some point. Fortunately Aldi have
the answer to your spring-time outside woes, in the form of their Pop-Up Gazebo.
Putting this up is a
total breeze as there are no additional poles that need to be screwed or pinned
in - the whole thing comes complete and expands with no effort at all. It can
even be packed away with the roof cover still attached (which is UV resistant
and water repellent), saving you the bother of having to wrap the massive piece
of material over the top. To get the
main frame up straight out of the carry case took us less than five minutes.
The Pop-Up Gazebo also comes with two side panels, one complete
and one with a plastic window. These attached very easily to the frame with
velcro loops and can be added quickly, just in case of sideways rain and windy
days. Aldi are also selling an extra two panels, letting you fully surround your
gazebo, for just £12.99. With all the panels on, the whole erection process
(tee hee) took - just one person, mind - about 15 minutes. If a rain shower
struck suddenly while BBQing with the neighbours (or during an introduction to
that swinging site you just joined), you'd be sorted in no time at all.
You also get four stakes to keep the legs in place, and four
guy ropes to anchor it to you lawn if the wind should pick up. We found that,
in a sheltered garden with a firm lawn, these weren't always necessary and the
weight of the gazebo itself was enough to keep it in place - but it's a nice
touch to include them.
So this is really great addition to your increasingly accessible
garden, and - of course - at a really great price.
