Best Gazebo

[James Bolivar]

I actually started this thread to ask which Gazebos anyone could recommend. Preferably one that will be sturdy so it can be taken home and re - used. We a friendly crew and will certainly not be taping off any areas. Ive never took a Gazebo to Glasto before and have never had an issue with other campers with a gazebo by where I camped.

As long as you are responsible, Badger, I don't see your having gazebo is an issue worth getting so personal over.

Would a gazebo in a family area where parents can give some coolish shelter from the sun to young children be frowned upon in the same way?

Ok - but I'm personally leaving mine at home so you guys can enjoy yours

Tent sizes being questioned ??????? You've to use it regular

for five nights , a 3 man dome tent for me and her would end up in sirens.

Then they should simply ban them and enforce the ban - you are not your brother's keeper in this. Do you inform on your neighbours as well?

[James Bolivar]

As well as what?

As well as acting as moral guardian. I wouldn't be too surprised to learn you've joined MediaWatch UK - a lot of tutters and disapprovers and twitchers of tent flaps end up there.

[russycarps]

So are all you sanctimonious sods gonna leave your weed at home then? .............. Thought not!

Too right, who gives a rubber duck anyway, I'm just lolling at the tutters and throwing a bit of bait out for them.

Sorry James, I started this thread to ask a simple question. Rather predictably its ended up with this debate again.

Hasn't this been the festivals stance for some time now? They don't ban them because they know most people use them responsibly. However by asking people not to bring them, it gives stewards a stronger hand when telling the selfish minority to take them down.

No idea why small communal areas suddenly seemed to be frowned upon by the efestivals ruling cabinet. Probably just to win an argument (or start one).

Has anyone actually recommended a gazebo yet? ...or are we resolutely off topic?

I don't know of anyone who has had to turn around and come home from Glastonbury because they couldn't find any space, yet I know a fair few for whom it is their only annual holiday and feel they should be able to enjoy it in as much of a reasonable degree of comfort as they can muster in a field with hundreds of people sharing a single tap and half a dozen loo seats over a 10 ft pit.

It's Glastonbury everyone! Calm down!

(disclaimer - I've never brought a gazebo, although, reversing surreptitiously back out of my disclaimer, our tent is bigger than we need because sometimes it has more people in it than this time, and because we want standing height because our knees won't do all that crawling about any more - sorry!)
