I once bought a cheap gazebo from Argos. Be wary, the description says 'ideal for providing shade' its probably like the one I bought - not even remotely waterproof!

Some Suzukis and a bunch of motorcycles.

There's nothing stopping you from putting a tarpaulin over the top of it for wet weather

I was thinking of chopping down the legs at one end to make it more like a lean to. Sometimes the low sun comes in a bit low.

Went and got one of these today. It does seem to be an Argos one probably flood damaged judging by the solidified book of words. ;)

So I eventually got it together then taped up the tubes on each run as there were 36 of them. Duck tape as always!! :laugh:


But hey, it is big and it looks like the canvass will be waterproof. :) Might leave it on the drive as a carport. :laugh: :laugh:
