Your pop-up gazebo should protect against rain and UV rays. But what if the weather or the conditions on site demand more of it? Here you can find out what matters for stability and anchoring.
The larger the pop-up gazebo, the more important suitable anchoring is. Test values are available for the E1 series. The table shows the maximum wind speed and the weight per tent leg for the test configuration without sidewalls.
| Measurements (E1 series) | Maximum wind speed | Weight per leg | Tension per fastening strap |
| 3x3 m | 100 km/h | 84 kg | 360 kg |
| 4x4 m | 100 km/h | 84 kg | 600 kg |
| 4.5x3 m | 100 km/h | 84 kg | 490 kg |
| 6x3 m | 60 km/h | 84 kg | 110 kg |
| 6x4 m | 60 km/h | 84 kg | 290 kg |
| 8x4 m | 60 km/h | 84 kg | 360 kg |
In strong winds, the pop-up gazebo should be taken down as a precaution. You can find further weight specifications for lower wind speeds in the instruction manual. The instructions for the E2 and E3 series are available as well. Test reports and certificates are in the certificate folder.

The most immediate solution for determining wind speed is, of course, to check the websites of local weather stations which will indicate the wind speed measured almost in real time. However, if you would like to find out more, you can use the Beaufort scale. Below are the levels from 4 to 12, leaving out lighter winds from 0 to 3.
| Beaufort level | Wind speed | Description | Land conditions |
| 4 | 20-29 km/h | Moderate breeze | Wind raises dust and paper. Branches move. |
| 5 | 30-39 km/h | Fresh breeze | Small trees with leaves begin to sway. |
| 6 | 40-50 km/h | Strong breeze | Shrubs with leaves sway. Small waves form in inland waters. |
| 7 | 51-62 km/h | High wind | Whole trees sway; walking against wind is difficult. |
| 8 | 63-75 km/h | Gale | Twigs break off trees; moving cars veer. |
| 9 | 76-87 km/h | Strong gale | Slight structural damage occurs; shingles may blow away. |
| 10 | 88-102 km/h | Storm | Trees uprooted; significant structural damage occurs. |
| 11 | 103-117 km/h | Violent storm | Widespread damage occurs |
| 12 | ≥118 km/h | Hurricane | Widespread damage occurs. |
Actual weather conditions differ from a controlled test situation with wind from one direction only. The values apply to the respective test configuration and are not a general release for use. Follow the set-up and safety instructions and take the pop-up gazebo down in strong winds.
Sidewalls provide additional protection from wind, rain and prying eyes. At the same time, they increase the surface the wind can act on. They should therefore be used to suit the wind direction and removed in good time when the wind picks up.
Closed sidewalls and models with zips offer more protection and stay securely attached to the gazebo when correctly installed.
Classic. Quickly attached with a continuous hook-and-loop strip, the closed sidewall is a popular addition. It protects from wind and weather and gives extra space for your print.
Come on in! The sidewall with roll-up door gives your pop-up gazebo an entrance you can open and close as you like. The door can be fully opened and rolled up from inside or outside using two zips.
Panoramic view. The sidewall with a transparent PVC window lets you look outside and lets light in while protecting you from wind and weather. The large window makes the pop-up gazebo feel brighter and more spacious.
Ideal height. The half-height sidewall allows direct customer contact at eye level. About one metre high, it suits sales and trade fair stands.
For your service. The counter is quick to set up and take down, and with its galvanised steel base and wooden top it is a practical addition for catering and events.
Festive. Corner curtains add an elegant touch to your pop-up gazebo, for occasions from birthday parties to weddings.
For celebrations with more guests, our 6x3 m pop-up gazebo is a suitable party tent alongside the 3x3 m size. On larger areas, the frame, weights and suitable anchoring are particularly important. Check the wind information and the anchoring for your location.
