waterproof gazebo

The weather is unpredictable, and the only way to always have peace of mind is to use fully waterproof gazebos. A water-repellent shelter isn’t enough and, on the wettest days, waterproofness is an essential requirement.
Confused by the terms? That’s what we’re here for. 

Waterproof, water-repellent or water-resistant. What is the difference?

These three terms are often used as synonyms for each other, but they actually indicate quite different properties.

• Water-repellent: water-repellent textiles initially allow water to slide off the roof surface. Raindrops do not immediately penetrate the textile’s interior, but after a short time the water will begin to infiltrate the textile and pass through it. Therefore, a water-repellent pop up gazebo cannot be used in continuous or heavy rain.
• Water-resistant: water-resistant gazebos are made of a very tightly woven textile, through which water passes with great difficulty. However, even then, if the rain is heavy or long-lasting, the water will pass through the textile, falling even under the gazebo.
• Waterproof: waterproof pop up gazebos are the only pop up gazebos that do not allow drops of water to pass through the textile in any weather condition. This means that only they can offer complete protection from water inside the gazebo and make it impossible for rain to penetrate by combining a tightly woven textiles with a special waterproof coating.

When purchasing your next gazebo, remember to make sure it’s truly waterproof!

According to European standard EN 343:2003, class 2 textiles with a water column of 800 mm or more and class 3 textiles with a water column of 1300 mm or more are considered waterproof. When it comes to pop up gazebos, however, these are considered waterproof only from a water column value of at least 1500 mm. Also, weak points of many pop up gazebos are their seams, so it’s always very important to ask about this and make sure that these are waterproofed as well. 

All our pop up gazebos are waterproof, so you can choose any of our 11 pop up gazebo sizes and also join them together using our  modular construction system which means that rainwater cannot even penetrate between one gazebo and another thanks to our rain gutters and connecting walls.
Experience tells us that the 2x3 m, 4x4 m and 6x3 m sizes are particularly well-suited to outdoor use at events, markets and festivals. In addition, when choosing from our three high-quality lines, you’re sure to find the perfect gazebo for your needs!
