Come talk to me about gazebos

[ElusiveMoose]

I have a south-facing garden with no shade and a baby, so I want somewhere to put the baby in the summer. I have an umbrella but it doesn't give a big enough area of shade, plus my garden is slightly sloping/uneven, so it falls over easily.

I think I probably want a gazebo, but my concerns are 1) will I be able to put it up by myself (pretty crucial)? and 2) will it be easy enough to secure to the ground (particularly if (1) is true)? I've looked on Amazon and there are billions of them, often with very mixed reviews. Can anyone advise me?

No gazebo owners out there??

very hard to put up yourself, you could just leave it up (not in rain though) keep secure with big tent pegs

Have communal gardens so unfortunately can't leave it up overnight. Are they really tricky then? Bugger.
