It’s a bargain for smaller tents, or for adventures off the beaten track where you’re carrying your camping gear in a backpack. But, unlike big, bulky tents, gazebos should be lightweight and not take up much storage space, so that they’re a great way to expand your camp without needing to lug around heavy equipment. So the size is similar to the Sierra Designs Outdoor Magnetic Screenhouse bit the shape here is square.

Decathlon has come up trumps again, with a well-engineered and cavernous gazebo that’s easy to pitch and undeniably good value. Pitching is definitely a two person task – it still takes around 20 minutes once you’ve got the hang of it – but the instructions are clear and it’s hard to go too wrong. This is one of the differences when you compare it with its mentioned cousin the Berghaus Air Shelter. When you’ve finished with it, dismantling is even easier, with the spring-loaded quick-release air valves allowing you to quickly deflate the frame at the touch of a button.The Berghaus Air Shelter Tent is the latest addition to the Berghaus Air Tent collection which is hugely popular on UK campsites.

There’s loads of usable space once the gazebo is pitched, and we appreciated the versatility and wind protection the doors offer – it even made an excellent impromptu changing room – though the arch is just 169cm high, so you may need to duck to enter. For a more traditional “village fête” look, we like the gazebo in neutral beige, but it also comes in a range of other colours if you want something that will stand out in your garden. heavy duty stake pegs are used to hold each corner of the Air Shelter in place and ordinary pegs are used to hold the rest of the inflatable shelter in place.

If you’re camping, or wild camping, alone and are just looking for a simple rain shelter, then a small tarp that’s close to the ground is a much lighter and easier-to-erect option. It uses a single inflatable beam across the middle, supported by two upright poles at either end, and it’s all held securely in position by some robust webbing straps and pegs. Wide, weatherproof, freestanding, and tall enough that nobody has to hunch over, a good quality gazebo – also known as an event shelter or a canopy tent – makes a great addition to your camping setup and is a must-have for anyone hoping to host a party in their back garden during the warmer months. Our only complaint is that the size isn’t quite as large as the name suggests, although there’s plenty of space for six adults, camping chairs, and a table, you’ll struggle to sit ten comfortably. You can use it as a dining room in the camp, as a ventilated cooking area, and even as a storage space.

Extras include a valve tightener tool, a repair kit and a wheeled bag which measures 75 x 35 x 34 cm. If you want to use the gazebo as more of an extra tent or as somewhere to hang out in bad weather, look for one with a sturdy floor of coated nylon, plus unzippable walls with windows or mesh panels.

It took us less than 10 minutes which, given the unique design, was impressive, though it took us more than 20 minutes to pack away.
