Gazebos with Sides for Sale

Looking for a strong, reliable gazebo with sides? Whether you're hosting an outdoor event, setting up a market stall, or creating a covered space in the garden, a folding gazebo with sides gives you shelter, privacy, and peace of mind.

At Gala Tent, we specialise in commercial-grade gazebos that stand up to the elements and are ready to buy online with fast UK delivery. Explore our range of high-quality gazebos with sides today.

Why Choose a Gazebo with Sides?

When you're outdoors, the weather isn't always on your side. Side panels turn a basic shelter into a fully enclosed space, offering protection from wind, rain, and strong sun.

They're ideal for giving guests extra comfort at private events, shielding market stock, or simply adding a bit of privacy.

Quick tip:
If you’re using your shelter for catering or food service, opt for full-height solid side panels rather than windowed ones — they offer better temperature control and keep prep areas shielded from the elements.

Lightweight, Strong, and Easy to Use

Our folding models, like the Gala Shade Pro 40, Pro 50, and Pro 60, are engineered for easy setup without sacrificing strength.

In the field:

• Pro 40: Perfect for casual weekend events or occasional trading.

• Pro 50: The sweet spot for regular event organisers and mobile businesses.

• Pro 60: Built for full-time traders, festivals, and heavy weather use — a true workhorse.

Assembly takes minutes — no special tools needed. Each unit arrives with sidewalls included as standard, ensuring you're ready to set up and trade (or party) straight away.

Types of Shelters with Sidewalls Available

Finding the right style depends on how you plan to use it:

Lightweight Pop-Up Gazebos

Designed for speed and flexibility. Popular with occasional traders, indoor exhibition hosts, and garden party organisers.

Heavy-Duty Models

Made for repeated setup, dismantling, and rougher conditions. Reinforced joints, thicker profiles, and upgraded canopies keep your shelter standing firm.

Field tip:
Always check the leg profile thickness. 40mm is great for light events. 50mm–60mm is where you want to be if you’re facing strong winds regularly.

Custom Branded Options

Ideal for businesses, sports teams, and corporate events. Full print options available across walls, roofs, and pelmets to boost visibility and professionalism.

What to Look for When Choosing a Gazebo with Side Panels

Not all shelters are created equal. Here's what matters:

• Frame Strength: Aluminium is lighter and stronger than steel. Gala Tent frames use commercial-grade aluminium with reinforced joints.

• Fabric Quality: Go for 600D polyester with PVC coating at minimum — it’s waterproof, UV-resistant, and built to last.

• Ease of Setup: Folding mechanisms should be smooth and lock securely without needing extra parts.

• Anchoring Options: Never underestimate wind! Choose a setup that includes or can be upgraded with weighted bags or tie-down straps.

Buying tip:
If you’ll be using it near the coast or in exposed fields, invest in extra anchoring kits right away — don’t wait for the first windy disaster.

How to Anchor Properly

Keeping your shelter secure is crucial:

• On Grass or Soft Ground: Use heavy-duty stakes through the feet, backed up with guy ropes to solid ground pegs.

• On Concrete or Tarmac: Weighted bags are essential. Gala Tent weight bags are designed to wrap securely around each leg for maximum hold.

Field tip:
Don’t trust a new shelter in strong winds without testing your anchoring in normal weather first. Learn how your frame reacts before putting it under pressure.

Anchoring golden rule:
One anchor per leg minimum — two if there’s a breeze.

Tailor Your Setup

Make your shelter work for you:

• Choose from a range of frame finishes (where available)

• Select canopy colours to match branding, team colours, or personal taste

• Mix windowed panels, doorways, and solid sides for different event setups

• Add full-colour custom printing for branding or promotional events

Pro tip:
If you plan to trade at night markets or winter events, opt for darker sidewall colours like black, navy, or dark green — they absorb less grime and always look cleaner in low light.

Common Ways People Use Gazebos with Sides

Real-world uses for shelters with sidewalls include:

Private Events

Birthday parties, weddings, hot tub shelters — creating a sheltered space outside extends the comfort of your home outdoors.

Business and Markets

From artisan food stalls to craft fairs, enclosed gazebos help businesses trade in comfort while protecting goods from wind and rain.

Catering & Street Food

Shielding staff and food from the elements isn’t just about comfort — it’s a health and safety essential for outdoor catering.

Tip for caterers:
Double-door side panels make service easier, creating a controlled "kitchen" area with one-way flow for staff and customers.

Sports Teams

Gazebos with sides are commonly used as matchday shelters for team kit storage, player benches, and even physio stations.

Exhibitions and Displays

Create a mini showroom wherever you are, with sidewalls offering an enclosed, professional setting.
