Protecting the Best in Pop-Up Gazebos

When you're looking for a pop-up gazebo that lasts longer than a few outings and doesn’t buckle at the first sign of British weather, Gala Shade® is the name to know. But it’s not just a name—it’s a protected trademark, meaning if it doesn’t come from Gala Tent, it’s not the real deal.

Over the years, Gala Tent has set the gold standard for gazebos, building a range of professional-grade shelters that outclass the cheap, flimsy imports flooding the market. And to make sure those high standards remain exclusive to our customers, we’ve secured trademarks across the range—locking down our best designs so no one else can slap our names on subpar imitations.

Let’s break it down.
