Best Gazebo

[badger80]

Before people start getting on their high horses about Gazebos: I know the Fine Guide says the organisers do not want us to take Gazebos, but it also says no drugs, and how many festival goers take any notice of that particular paragraph.

Theres around 16 of us going down, all in reasonable sized tents so I dont think it is not unreasonable to erect a gazebo as a communal area and somewhere to shelter from the rain. We would use the space between the tents as a fire / communal area anyway so were not taking up any more space. We will also take it with us when we leave , love the farm and all that.

Can anyone recommend any good gazebos that have survived a festival and kept you dry? Weve all chipped in a tenner so anything upto £130 is within budget!

Cheers

Three of your gang have obviously pulled a fast one on you if you've only got £130

Best Gazebo is the one that stays in the shop.

Anyone who takes one of those party tents, unless they're sleeping in it with ten other people is a knob and I hope the wind destroys it, before obviously subsiding for the weekend.

Our group (like many others I suspect) would have liked to take a gazebo for the same reason... but we wont cos it's a bit selfish!

As they've requested we don't bring them then it is my belief you should really respect that.

If you choose not to then the best gazebo is one that won't come loose from it's anchoring and fly across the campsite in windy conditions.

The cheap ones tend to act like parachutes as they have no ventilation, so get one that has some way of air escaping if a gust of wind catches it.

I've seen some groups use a gazebo as a communal area, but they pitch a tent in it at night - this takes up no extra space.

Our gazebo was a god send in 2010. Our fellow neighbours all loved it and utilised it to shield from the scorching sun.

I've no idea where to get the best one, just thought I'd stick up for you on the gazebo front!

[Bathimp]

For that money you could get a Coleman Event Shelter. No idea how you would get it on site and find space for it though.

How about a teepee?

If you really must bring a gazebo - regardless of the festivals wishes - surely it would be considerate to camp in a less populated field or near the toilets? Then you wont get dirty looks from the poor sun-stroked souls who have to camp in these places, whilst you're chilling out under your lovely gazebo.

[Starchild771]

Feet up beer in hand and yelling "stay out of my precious shade" chilling out under my lovely gazebo. Also I turn into a pumpkin at the stroke of midnight!

And I make sure I wash my hair under the communal tap EVERY morning and I insist on taking my very large flag to the front of the pyramid stage. This year its a giant picture of Rolf Harris dressed as jimmy savile.

We're all people fellow Internet user. And like the OP says, the festivals wishes also state that no drugs are to be allowed on site. I'm yet to get a bad word said about the gazebo in person at the festival.
