Pop Up Gazebos – Why They're Called Pop Up

Pop up gazebos are great for any garden. They provide your family and friends with protection against the sun. But why are they called pop up gazebos? Where did they get their name from?

They got their name through their ease of use. They literally just `pop up`. Most common gazebos come with numerous different parts that need to be connected together, whereas pop up gazebos don't.

Imagine you have a normal, common gazebo that you're about to put up. Once you get all the parts laid out on the floor in front of you, you stand back and look at them with an overwhelming feeling. Where do you start?

Picking up the instructions, you start to form a plan in your mind. You see that all the pole A's need to be connected to pole B's with a certain corner piece attached to the end. Sounds easy enough. So you sort through all your poles. You find all you're A's and your B's and you start to connect them together. You go back to the instructions and then find that all your pole C's need to be connected to your Pole D's and attach from your corner pieces to a centre piece. Still sounds quite simple.

Eventually you have the structure of the roof. Next come the legs. But as you lift the built structure to fit them, you find poles on the other side coming apart, and each time you reconnect it and lift, another comes loose. This is where you start to loose your patience. It's a hot day, and all you want is for this gazebo to built and shading you. And just as you get to the last crucial moment, you then discover that you have a part missing. Maybe putting up a gazebo like this is easier said than done.

But what if you have a pop up gazebo sitting on the lawn in front of you? Do you feel the same overwhelming feeling when you look down at it? Probably not. You ask your friends to help you. You need four in total. Each take hold of a corner of the folded structure and then pull out. Instantly you have your structure. All the parts you need are already attached. Then they merely extend the leg they are holding and your structure is complete. All you need to do now is throw the cover over.

Easy. Simple. Stress free.

So now you can see where pop up gazebos got their name. They are so easy to put up and take down that instructions are rarely needed, and they're ideal if you're looking for a stress free, relaxing day in the garden.
