Inviting your family and friends for garden parties shouldnt just depend on the weather - some of the best gazebos can be used all year round. Whether its taking shade from the sun during a summer barbecue or festive drinks in the garden in the winter, (most) gazebos are designed to withstand unpredictable British weather.

　　Next time youve got guests over and theres an unexpected April shower, it doesnt mean you all have to pile indoors in a panic. The party can still crack on outdoors - if you have a gazebo, that is. Just cosy up underneath it, let the weather pass and let the good times roll.

　　You might be looking for a temporary gazebo for an event youre hosting, like a birthday, christening or communion. Or, maybe something low-budget like a pop up gazebo for your annual barbecue. However, gazebos can be a more permanent fixture in your garden like your rattan garden furniture, if you want to use them all year round. And, luxury gazebos are a fab way to add some style to your space.

Amazon offers loads of garden product deals to browse, and sometimes pop up gazebos can be on sale, so keep your eyes peeled. Besides that, Argos, Dunelm, The Range, Wayfair and Wilko also have cheap gazebos to shop.

　　What are the best gazebos for summer? If youre looking for a gazebo for the summer, youll want something lightweight, breathable and easy to store. We dont get an awful lot of sun thanks to British weather, so its likely youll only be using your summer gazebo for a few months in the height of summer.

　　You might want to consider a gazebo with roll up sides or even without sides to let your guests get some air in the hot weather. Something temporary like a pop up gazebo or soft top gazebo might be your best choice. However, a permanent hard top wooden gazebo would also work equally well in summer - as they do for most of the year.

　　What are the best gazebos for winter? For winter, youll want something hardier to withstand the weather. Weather-resistant gazebos are the best choice here. Look for wind-resistant, rain-resistant and rust-resistant choices. Additionally, hard top gazebos are the best choice for winter as theyre more secure, however these tend to be fixed for longer periods. Hard top gazebos can consist of metal, hard plastic or wood structures. But, be more prepared for maintenance with a wooden gazebo - these may take more wear and tear in the winter months.
