Gala Tent UK

After a hiccup with my first order when I gave a lower rating, I'm pleased to say I have now used the replacement gazebo. It's not as heavy as the original one, note to everyone read the small print re weight. It's not easy trying to put up on my own, but once its up its strong, the velcro sides to roof make it secure and the skirt deflects the water at the bottom. Wasn't cheap, but hopefully good quality it will last longer than cheaper ones.

Great product but was unhappy to receive sales calls from a sister company afterwards when you passed on my personal details to them! Trying to sell me credit card terminal machine? This will make me consider if I will use you again!

Good quality tent has stood up to a few storms so far.

Works very well. Only thing to complain about are the sand bags provided. Velcro tabs very poor quality. Come apart very easily. Bags are not heavy enough to cope with high winds. Purchased double bags with superior velcro fastenings, and they work a treat. Apart from the bags, a very good purchase

Hi, Purchased a 6m x 4m Gala standard marquee @ £395 with free delivery. Two of the poles were damaged on delivery, but quickly replaced without any problems, so Customer service considered very good. The poles and connectors are substantial and the covers are decent enough quality for the money. The Bungee hangers are easy to connect, but the elastic cord is lightweight and you feel they will not survive too many uses. The main gripe is that the canopy is a poor fit for the frame in that it is too tight across the width. I will probably need to machine 5 mm off the end of the 8no. 'rafter' poles for the canopy to fit well, which is a shame. Also the 4no. guy ropes supplied to hold the canopy corners down are very lightweight with no fittings. I will be making my own ropes up to do the job adequately . Also we found the Gala marquee quite an effort to put up and down, and we found the leg poles tended to jam into the sockets which made taking the unit down a challenge. This is because the leg pole jams at the curve of the connector. I would add that we are very experienced at pitching and striking tradition canvas 20ft by 20ft marquees on a regular basis , but our new the Gala Marquee certainly requires more effort. Criticisms aside, it is a good product overall and I do not regret the purchase. I'm sure it is far better than most on the market, and with a bit more refinement and care to detail would be a really excellent product. AW

Overall I am please with the quality of the tent. I don’t like the Velcro’ door and panel fixings would have preferred zips. Very difficult to get the pieces.to connect seems the panels are just a bit short.

Very happy with all the products I have purchased from Gala Tents.

Amazing Industrial Gazebo for a great price.

There is no reason for not being a 5 star, rather it is a personal thing that no-one is that 100% perfect. Anyway I have been communicating with the company over a long period of months, in fact before the covid lockdown, but then hit a snag as my order was linked to applications for funding and therefore everything was delayed. However, eventualy the funding came through and I was able to continue with the order for 12 gazebos with associated tables and other equipment. There were possibly a few hiccups with communication and I did feel I seemed to be the one doing the running around. However, the goods have now been delivered and am most happy with the quality and appearance of the goods purchased. In fact the packaging is immense and certainly protective of the contents. All in all therefore not a bad effort, just as I say need to tidy up a bit on maintaining communication

Grate service

I went for the pro50 frame, and it feels strong as described. Easy set up

Have had the gazebo for about a month now and are very pleased with it. It was well packed so arrived undamaged. Pretty easy to put up with just the two of us.We knew the sides were on back-order, and they turned up this week. Were surprised to find them in a strong carry bag - very useful!Very well engineered frame and legs, good quality roof and sides. Good product.

As Chair of the Parents Committee for 19th Durham Scouts, it fell on me to look into purchasing some 'shelters' for the Scout Group - Gala was mentioned and good old Google came up with the goods - my first contact was Jake, who has been really helpful (and patient!) with generating multiple quotes - after much too and froing from our esteemed Committee, I made the personal decision to just buy one, at my cost (!) (you could say that it was the ear-bashing that I was getting from my Wife, the cub-Scout Leader, that was the final straw!) and it arrived last Friday - Saturday found us putting it up in the garden - it worked - easy to put up - well thought out with respect to fittings - instructions were a bit lacking in detail (pulling the pin to take it down!) - last night (Tuesday) it was a hawing it down and my Son was running a Scout Group, so he took it along - the other Leaders and the Group Scout Leader were surprised and grateful when it was easily assembled - result is I have been asked to buy 3 more (with branding) and should put these on Order, later today - my wish is for a bag for the main structure and for it to include a sectioned area for the canopy - awaiting confirmation of this - the result is that my Wife is happy (she is our with her Cub Scouts tomorrow and will use shelter if weather is inclement) and therefore I am happy!! From a purely technical prospective, the mechanics seem good and hopefully they will last, but time will tell - price was high (but I got funding from County Council to pay for it/them) and I am really pleased to be buying a British Product .....thank you!!Appreciate this is not really a Review, but more of a story, but if asked I will recommend Gala and very happy to be contacted by 3rd Parties, if they want an outsiders view.

It is a good sturdy product and the leg weights are a big help for use without the guy ropes. It is waterproof and quick to erect and dismantle but it does need 3 people to erect it - 2 can manage but it's a bit of a struggle.It was a bit of a long delay on the delivery of the sides but we have been able to use it very successfully every week with just the roof.

There is nothing wrong with the purchase just the person who made it ie me! I got my PVC and PE muddled up and ended up with ends with zips rather than Dutch lacing. Perhaps making the types different rather than both beginning with P and making it clearer the different fastenings might help me in future. Speedy delivery as always.
