What makes a pop-up gazebo right for sport?
Tournament, race track or club party: in sport, quick set-up, protection and visibility count. This is what you get:
1. Tool-free set-up
Pull apart, adjust the height, secure.
2. Waterproof roof
Water column of 1,500 to 2,000 mm depending on the fabric.
3. Fire-retardant fabrics available
Oxford 500D and Oxford 250D FR to EN 13501-1 (B-s1, d0).
4. No loose small parts
Good for frequent set-up and take-down at changing locations.
5. Extendable with sidewalls and anchoring
For wind protection, privacy or extra advertising space.
Pop-up gazebos for sports clubs
At large sports events, pop-up gazebos serve as posts along the course, as space for commentators or as start and finish tents.
They are also used at regional tournaments, club championships, fun runs and club parties. A printed club tent protects from sun and rain, helps people find their way and gives sponsors a visible space.
Pop-up gazebos for winter sports events
At snowboard contests, ski races or winter festivals, pop-up gazebos serve as a covered entrance, a meeting point or an organisation centre next to the course. With sidewalls they become a closed room. In snowfall and wind, follow the set-up and safety instructions.
Pop-up gazebo for motorsport
Things need to move fast in the paddock too. Our race tents and paddock tents are set up without tools and accompany racing teams, motorsport clubs and service crews through the season. Pit area, team base, workspace or hospitality: you equip them to suit your use.
For frequent set-up and take-down we recommend the E1 or E2 series.
Pop-up gazebos for associations
Info event, campaign or mobile advice stand: a pop-up gazebo gives your activity a setting and protects from sun and rain. At the same time you create a visible meeting point for members, interested people and visitors.
Frequently asked questions about pop-up gazebos for clubs & sports events
Set up without tools
You set up an Ecotent pop-up gazebo without tools: pull the frame apart, fit the roof, lock the legs into place and secure the gazebo. How many people you need depends on the size. The video shows a 3x3 m pop-up gazebo from the E1 series being set up step by step.
Roof and sidewalls
You can print the entire roof and both sides of the sidewalls, inside and outside.
It depends on the location
Whether you need a permit depends on the location, the type of use and how long the gazebo stays up. Rules differ between countries and local authorities. On public land, at larger events or for commercial use, check with the local authority or the event organiser in advance.
Documents for organisers
If organisers or authorities ask for documents on stability or fire safety, you will find our certificates and test reports in the download area, or we can send them to you.
UPF 50+ on Oxford fabrics
Yes. The Oxford fabrics offer UPF 50+ to DIN EN 13758-1 (test report). The value refers to the fabric. It does not block sunlight that reaches under the roof from the side.
Stay dry in the rain
Yes, the roof keeps the rain out, so you stay dry underneath. The water column is the measure of waterproofing. Depending on the fabric it is 1,500 mm (Oxford 500D) or 2,000 mm (Oxford 250D and Recycled), tested to DIN EN 20811 (proof: Oxford 500D, Oxford 250D, Recycled). To stay watertight, the roof needs to be taut and undamaged.
Photos in sublimation print
Yes. Sublimation printing reproduces photos and large designs in fine detail on the roof and sidewalls. Set up your file at 1:1 with 100 dpi or 1:100 with 300 dpi.
