As the weather starts to look up, now is the time for barbecues, garden parties or relaxing outdoors alone and soaking in the sunshine with a book. An ideal situation is to have a space that is aesthetically pleasing, offers comfort and also gives the option of both sunshine and shade - just in case it gets too hot (bring on those warm days!).
A lot of people may be looking for that perfect option that covers all areas but does so without breaking the bank. A solid solution could be the Gazebo bigzzia Metal Pergola which is down to £219.00 from £299.00 on Amazon and offers a blend of style, comfort and versatility.
The pergola is a great addition to gardens and outdoor spaces, especially for the UK and its temperamental weather, as it is equipped with a thick canopy made of 160g PU-coated polyester. This means it’s got some solid credentials for being waterproof and promises a colour-fading resistant performance, so the rainy spells won’t ruin the furniture.

Be it sunshine or shade, the gazebo is covered every day with an adjustable canopy that can be easily stretched or folded up and away whenever needed. It is also designed to be removable and retractable with a velcro patch on each side. The gazebo is supported by a heavy-duty iron frame with an anti-rust coating finish which essentially prevents rusting. The four poles included in the gazebo means it can be built on grass, concrete or cement.
It has dimensions of 3 by 3 metres and can be a versatile addition to any outdoor space whether it be a garden, pool, deck, patio or yard. It can even be built as an extension of a front porch which would be a real win for customers who want to expand their outdoor space this spring and summer.
For a more budget-friendly choice, there is the Neo 3 by 3M Gazebo for £32.24 from Debenhams, which is the perfect choice for a simple outdoor shelter for an event. This tent gazebo can be wrapped around on all four sides, it has windows on three sides and a zipped door on one side.
For a more aesthetic, albeit pricier option, the Outsunny Retractable Metal Pergola, available for £139 from Wowcher, could be the one. This pergola also has a retractable canopy that can be extended or retracted and is built with a sturdy metal frame.
Customers have shared their experiences with the Gazebo bigzzia Metal Pergola as it has a 4.3 out of 5 star rating from a total of 282 reviews on Amazon. One customer said: “Very happy with this pergola. Very strong and easy to assemble. Spacious and a lot of space to hang plants. Excellent for Summer. My garden looks very beautiful.”
“Absolutely love it, it looks great, we’ve had some pretty high winds lately and it didn’t move at all, and it’s not even fixed down yet. It’s very easy to put together. Would definitely recommend it,” said another shopper.
Some however weren’t as pleased with one customer saying: “Easy to put up, but the fabric is fairly poor. Claimed it’s thicker material but it’s rather thinner than I’d hoped.”

Another said: “The instructions could be better, fairly vague and if you get the first bit wrong then near the end, fitting the canopy is impossible.”
“Looks amazing and such a good price - highly recommended. Good instructions for putting it together too… BBQing will be so much more enjoyable going forward now. Really glad I chose this,” said another.
