New Hexagon Gazebo for Rallying and Paddocks

For 2023 Poptents have introduced a brand new gazebo to our range. This new gazebo is hexagonal in shape which gives a much larger covered area, making it the perfect gazebo for covering rally or drift cars! It is made from a slightly different construction due to the nature of the joints, but the redesign still has strength and durability and the forefront of the changes.

The only difference in the structure of this gazebo is hexagonal legs and brackets on the legs due to the angle of the trusses for the hexagonal shape. The heavy duty gazebo legs are still made from our 2mm aluminium with internal reinforcements and metal joints are also utilised for maximum strength. This heavy duty gazebo structure is still very easy to erect due to the easy glide sliders, meaning you will have it erected in just a couple of minutes.

The heavy duty gazebo fabric is our PVC coated polyester which is used across our entire range of heavy duty and industrial

If you are in the market for a heavy duty grade of gazebo you will have no doubt came across many configurations of leg size, legs gauge, joint type and steel or aluminium structure. It is without doubt quite a lot of information and difficult to compare products like for like to ensure your purchase will match your expectations. With this guide we aim to start a conversation on which type of structure is better suited to your requirements: aluminium or steel?

Firstly, it is important that your new heavy duty gazebo is strong enough to withstand windy conditions, it is fully waterproof (otherwise what’s the point?) and it blocks harmful UV rays.

Both aluminium and steel gazebos have their uses, light recreational use would typically suit a steel gazebo where heavier, more often use would suit an aluminium gazebo due the strength and durability advantage. We will discuss the following points to allow you to form your own opinion on what type of gazebo is better suited for you.

1: Strength

Throughout the pandemic Poptents pop up gazebos have been used to provide a temporary pop up shelter in order to administer vaccinations and provide Covid testing. This has been ramped up over the Winter period with greater numbers of Poptents gazebos being used throughout the country by multiple health organisations. The most popular size has been the 3m x 3m pop up gazebo although the 3m x 4.5m and 3m x 6m has also proved popular depending on the individual circumstance. We are now seeing more pop up tents being used for workplace testing, such as on construction sites and even schools.

We anticipate this trend to continue throughout the Winter period as testing appears to move to self-testing/workplace testing. Poptents gazebos can provide a quick to erect, strong and stable pop up shelter for Covid testing in a range of sizes to suit your specific space and need.
