    I've got a 2m x 3m gazebo. It was only cheap and works a treat. I strap one side to the roof bars on my van so I can work out of the side door and keep dry. It comes with ropes to tie the other side down if the weather was really bad but I've not needed to yet. B&Q were doing a similar one a few weeks ago for £13, don't know if there will be any left now but worth a try.

    The dewalt looks good - how bigzit???

    I bought a "waterproof" easy-up gazebo 3m x 3m off ebay and it was great.

    Until it rained. Was about as waterproof as my undies. Had to send it back for a refund.

    Proper motorcross pop-ups are a small fortune but they are waterproof.

    I got the cheap £14 one from B&Q but not used it yet. Glad it's waterproof though even if it's not a pop up it looks easy enough.

    mark the poles up with different coloured tape the first time you use it, the next time it'll only take a couple of mins to put up.
