A guide to the best gazebos for your garden all year round

We have to say, we love the ABCCANOPY from Amazon, and it would probably be our first choice. This spacious gazebo looks really classy in your garden, with added draping that you can zip down to create an enclosed space or leave free to feel the summer breeze. The highly-rated gazebo does come in a few different styles and size options, so you can really choose depending on what suits you best.

Its frame is made from powder-coated stainless steel for rust resistance, and the top fabric has been upgraded to a rip-lock fabric with PU coating, which has good tear resistance, sun protection and improved water-resistant performance. The eaves make the perfect place to string a few fairy lights, and there's even a ceiling hook for adding your own touches to the gazebo, like lights or fans. All in all, the perfect way to take the indoors, well... out.

Customer review: "The overall look is great. We have used it to cover a lazy spa and the dimensions are perfect. The net sides are great to block out bugs but not sealed at the top so won’t work 100%. The metal is very sturdy but very light and construction was relatively straight forward. Most of it you can do on your own but due to the size of it you will need help for a couple of stages. We did it as a pair in less than an hour and were not rushing. We put fairly lights around the edge which gives it a nice feel at night time."

Customer review: "I don't normally leave reviews but we are so impressed with this gazebo even my husband suggested we leave a review on it! Since we got the gazebo the weather has been crazy (typical British summertime) - very windy and torrential rain. We have had it up for 7 weeks solid now on our decking and it has held up amazingly. My husband put bricks in the bags in the corners to weight it down and has also tied it to the side of our house. You can open it up when it's sunny and sit out and enjoy the weather, and close it up in the rain - where we sat and entertained guests with a few drinks and game of cards. My husband has also sat out in it in the rain doing some DIY so I can see this structure being a permanent feature to be honest. Even though the guidance is for it not to be left up all the time, it has been a godsend to us and I can confirm it is 100% waterproof. Definitely a great value for money purchase and a top quality product!"

To withstand winter weather, we recommend Palram's Martinique 4300 Garden Gazebo with its sturdy and weatherproof outdoor structure made to last. It's a popular choice at Very, with a few people rating it 5 stars. But, it's not just for winter either, it's made for all season round.

Customer review: "Very good value. Practise putting it up before you want it! It takes a little time to assemble. I would GUESS parts are not going to be durable long term, you will need to look after things. It will blow away so you are going to require some weights. The "pins" to hold things in the ground are "light weight" so you will need to replace these but for a sunny Sunday afternoon where you need some shade in your back garden this is ideal."
