Default wATERPROOF GAZEBO REVIEWS SUGGESTIONS

As per title really, I've posted in the events section (AND APPOLOGIES IF YOURE A 260'S MEMBER AND HAVE SEEN IT ALREADY )as I figured you guys that frequent events regularly were the most likely to have experiance of Gazebos etc.

I have a decent shed/workshop that is currently chocker block so full of storage stuff that theres no room for any creation or project work to take place, I'm VERY slow on my feet and cant stand for more than an hour without severe pain and stiffness requiring long rest periods, so im stuck in a catch 22 of not being able to build the storage and bench etc, that would enable me to get the shed/storage area squared away , enabling the maximum storage capacity and then getting a small work area built. So I'm looking for a waterproof Gazeebo or any other solution suggested appreciated that would enable me to have tools and supplies out side the shedfor a period of time whilst i do the work to creat the shelving etc..

please does anyone have any experiance they can offer with the waterproofness (or not) of any of the cheaper offerings from the likes of Lidle and Aldi?? or any other sellers, etc..

Clearly they are cheap and cheerful and expressly meant for sun shade rather than weather protection etc.. but as I need to know that elec tools and some consumables etc.are reasonably protected for a whileas i cant get stuff cleared up quickly if the inclement weather resumes..

so all experiances welcome also has anyone waterproofed with a spray or other method, one of the cheaper Gazebo's?? I'm only after a 2.5m x3m or there abouts and some sides availability woyuld be advantageous too
REALLY LOOKING FOR ACTUAL KNOWLEDGE/EXPERIANCES though if youve seen a bargain i guess that helps too

This is what I take to the Midlands nano to keep off the sun . It has proved to be waterproof also .

Too big for you?

Maybe something like this:

I guess it depends upon how long you're anticipating keeping stuff in there and how severe, or not, this winter is.

Good luck with the search.

Andy.

I have a large garage with a large workshop I built onto the back end of it. Spaced away from it and alongside it, I have a large garden hut. I entirely paved over that area, between those buildings and bought a large tarp..


I added screw in eyes as fixings, so that the tarp fixes along the garage side, along the front of the hut. So two sides fixed and supported. For the loose corner of the other two sides, I support it with a surplus caravan awning pole, pulled taut by a guy rope. It works fine as a bit of sheltered outside working space, to keep the sun and rain off, but I wouldn't trust it in much wind.



A few years ago we actually bought an Aldi gazebo, it was hopeless in the slightest wind. It would worry me having any gazebo up for any extended time, because we live in quite a windy location.
