Motorsport Gazebo

[M.F.D]

Any recommendations for the Gazebo's you see teams with in the paddock at race weekends/track days? Will need it printed/dyed with logo's etc.

Anyone with images too, please share

There are a few suppliers, but they are all very similar. Surf n Turf and Gala are the two bigger brands that I know of, both have a range of sizes and frame dimensions. If you are using it regularly at the track, I would go for at least the Pro50 spec. I’ve got a Gala one that has lasted me 5 seasons so far. Both manufacturers will do a fully printed service if you want it.

I've had an 3.5m x 2.5m EZ-up Speed Shelter II which I use at sprints/hillclimbs, purchased in 2009 and still going strong probably been used around 100 or so times

The Rhino series are the better quality ones.

you see the other side of the coin is, i think the customer service at gala tents stinks , the very worst of any company i have had a problem with. there 3x3 compact tent is absolute rubbish a waste of money in my opinion.

Hamilton Classics are another of the suppliers, as said they appear to be mostly selling the same stuff. I vote for Hamilton over Surf Turf as they will supply spares for when you damage one of the joiners. The bigger sizes are quite heavy so consider that when choosing.

At the end of a motorsport weekend you see a number of pop up gazebo's stuffed into wheelie bins as they've not been tethered properly. Occassioanally you see people harvesting them for bits for their own...

These are quite decent - we've had one of their cheaper ones (Explorer, not Budget) for quite some time now. It is a decent bit of kit, the more expensive ones in their range can only be better. They are heavy though (obviously).

We’ve got a Rock Awnings Rhino 55 3m x 6m and it’s a sturdy piece of kit, it’s not the easiest to put up (ours seems particularly hard to pull apart) and as others have said, it’s a fair old lump to have to load/unload and accommodate on a van for a race weekend. The other thing we have noticed with us is that although the frame appears to be built to last a while the canvas canopy develops little tears quite easily. We always anchor it down to a combination of the trailer/van and spare wheels with the same ratchet straps we use to secure the car to the trailer once we are in the paddock.
