Originally, all polyester was made from oil-based raw materials which are not renewable but we are switching to only using recycled polyester. The good thing is that polyester can be recycled over and over, without negatively affecting the quality of our products. Recycled polyester makes us less dependent on oil. The amount we convert, is equal to the amount of virgin fossil fuel we eliminate from our polyester raw material (this excludes potential dyeing and other post recycled polyester production treatments). When we make products from recycled polyester, we give a second life to material that is not biodegradable and reduce the amount that may otherwise end up in landfill or the ocean. Instead, PET and other sources of polyester are used to make textiles, storage boxes, kitchen fronts and even lamps. Polyester is a durable, wrinkle-resistant and easy-care material that is ideal for many home furnishing products like rugs, pillows, quilts and cushions.

The best way to extend the life of your gazebo is by cleaning it regularly, both outside and inside, and storing it in a cool, dry place indoors when the season is over.Canopy cover Verified Reviewer Bought two of these after seeing them in store and have made great use of them this past year - we decorated with fairy lights and ivy and had many a lovely evening The fabric is made of polyester, of which at least 90% is recycled – a durable material which is tested, approved and free from harmful substances and additives. Spare canopy Verified Reviewer I bought 2 of these 2 years ago and have been trying to get a spare covers for many many months

Plastic pegs are included to secure the gazebo on a lawn, fixing devices for other materials are not included. The downside to virgin polyester is that it is made from oil, coal or natural gas. This means that when we use virgin polyester, we are exhausting the planet’s natural resources. Our response to this, is to replace all virgin polyester with recycled in our products. We are accelerating this movement for polyester in our range and aim to replace all virgin polyester in our textile products with recycled. In 2020, IKEA replaced 79% of the virgin polyester used in IKEA textile products with recycled polyester. In volume, this means we converted 130,000 metric tonnes of recycled polyester, and saved 200,000 tonnes of virign polyester.

You can use this gazebo in different ways – freestanding, against an outer house wall, over the main entrance of your home or combine two to cover a larger area, whatever suits your needs. IKEA is committed to end the dependency on virgin fossil materials and only use renewable or recycled materials by 2030. At IKEA, we demand that all recycled polyester used in IKEA products shall come from recyclers that are compliant with the Global Recycled Standard and traceability is secured to the IKEA product through requirements toward the IKEA Suppliers. The canopy is machine-washable and easy to remove from the frame thanks to the hook-and-loop fasteners.
