STAY DRY IN THE RAIN

Waterproof pop-up gazebos

The roof keeps the rain out, the fabrics have a tested water column

With an Ecotent pop-up gazebo you stay dry in the rain: the roof keeps the rain out. The water column is the measure of waterproofing. Depending on the version, the fabrics reach a tested 1,500 to 2,000 mm. How well a pop-up gazebo protects in the rain also depends on assembly, location and accessories.

NICE TO KNOW

Waterproof, water-repellent or water-resistant?

The terms sound similar but do not mean the same thing. If you use a pop-up gazebo outdoors regularly, you should look closely at the product information.

Water-repellent
Light rain initially beads off the surface. In longer or heavier rain, however, moisture can penetrate the fabric.
Water-resistant
The term describes a certain resistance to water but is not clearly defined. This information alone is not enough for reliable rain protection.
Waterproof
This term is not uniformly regulated either. What matters is the tested value in millimetres of water column. For reliable protection, the seams should also be suitable and the roof should be designed so that no water collects on it.

For Ecotent, the tested water column of the fabrics is 1,500 to 2,000 mm depending on the version. We explain what that means below.

UNDERSTANDING WATERPROOFING

The water column of pop-up gazebos explained simply

The water column indicates which water pressure a fabric can withstand before moisture gets through. For this, the fabric is tested in a hydrostatic pressure test. The pressure is increased step by step until water comes through the material in three places.

The value is given in millimetres of water column. As a rule: the higher the value, the more resistant the fabric is to water penetration.

GOOD QUESTION, CLEAR ANSWER

The right water column for pop-up gazebos

The higher the water column, the more resistant a fabric is to water penetration. For reliable rain protection, however, the value of the fabric is not the only thing that counts. The seams and a roof construction on which no water collects are also decisive.

For Ecotent, the tested water column is 1,500 mm for Oxford 500D and 2,000 mm for Oxford 250D (fire-retardant and non-fire-retardant) and for the Recycled fabric. When buying, look at the information for the specific fabric.

MORE PROTECTION IN THE RAIN

Waterproof pop-up gazebos with sidewalls

With pop-up gazebos with sidewalls you are also better protected against slanting rain. Unpack, attach, done. The sidewalls are available closed, with a door or with windows. So that less water gets through between two or more gazebos set up side by side, we recommend accessories such as roof gutters and centre connectors on the sides.

Protection from wind and curious looks

Closed sidewall

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.

Open Sesame

Sidewall with door

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.

Everything in view

Sidewall with window

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.

Perfect customer contact

Half-height sidewall

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 the good times

Sidewall with counter

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.

Elegant on all sides

Corner curtain

Festive. Corner curtains add an elegant touch to your pop-up gazebo, for occasions from birthday parties to weddings.
