Went through to the local town and bought a pop up gazebo. Up here we can have all the seasons of the year in 12 hours or less. Have had a lot of the tubular metal gazebos and only last with me till the first piece of fresh air blows through the space.
So crack of sparrows went out into garden with new gazebo. Nice strong construction and only slightly more than the thin metal ones. No i am not trying to sell you one, just making sure to my self than i have made a good decision for once.
Any way after fighting to get the thing out of the custom bag and banging my shin on the metal i thought that it will need more hands to the pumps.
Go in and got Mrs DaveL out. Struggled with putting thing up without cutting fingers off. After 5 mins of falling over and cussing Mrs DaveL asks if i have seen/read the instructions.

Of course not it is only a simple tent how hard can it be?

Again went on for another 5 mins saying that there must be some major part missing and need to take it back!!
Mrs DaveL finds instructions, reads, pushes on two parts of the metal canter levers and wallah up pops the gazebo.

So thinks i we now have a structure in case of bad weather at the Easter meet at Loch Lomand and an expert to put it (gazebo) up.

Result.
