The humble gazebo - it keeps out the rain and offers shade. Modern materials and designs mean that now, gazebos can be folded up into a tiny space and transported anywhere. So, apart from shielding you and your guests from the typical onslaught of weather at a Great British barbecue, what good use can you get for a pop up gazebo?
Outdoor Catering
Probably the most obvious use is catering stands found at festivals and often seen on a family day out. Even in a busy city centre, you can almost always find folks clambering on top of each other to get in on some street food action.
It's become so easy and cheap to enter the mobile catering game that countless closet chefs are coming out to offer their take on classics. Curry stands, falafel, Chinese street food, mobile delicatessens, pick n' mix, crepes - you name it, you can make it all happen in a pop up gazebo.
Being able to pack your whole kitchen arrangement up into the back of a car and go wherever bellies rumble is a hugely attractive feature. Maybe that's why we're seeing more and more good food coming out of these unassuming little structures!

Market Stalls
It's not just food you can pedal though. Some gazebos are big enough to house clothing rails, DVDs, games and so on, additional stock and multiple members of staff. With heavy duty construction and coverings, they're good to go every day and remain impervious to all but the wildest of weather conditions.
If you ever find yourself at a music festival, take note of the pop up gazebos around you - there'll be tons of them! Not just for catering and retail though. They can be information stands, emergency points, marketing areas and even just somewhere to chill out on a rainy day.

Get Personal
In addition to making the process of putting up and taking down a gazebo nigh on effortless, modern designs employ canopy materials that are not only durable and flame-resistant, but printable too. This is where things get interesting! Printed gazebos stand out from the crowd and make excellent marketing all by themselves. Your customers won't be wondering who they got that tasty wrap from next time they stop by - because a custom branded gazebo will give them a name, logo, contact and web details.
This has really changed the game in recent years, making start up business much easier to enter. And it's given a chance to some excellent businesspeople who otherwise wouldn't have been able to start.
So... What are you waiting for?
