Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The TOOLPORT Garden Gazebo 3x3 m is an aluminium-framed garden pavilion with a polycarbonate roof, listed at £599.00 in dark grey on a 3 x 3 m footprint and 2.7 m high. It sits at number 8 in this guide, and it is the cheaper half of a pair of TOOLPORT Sunset listings that Amazon displays with identical customer feedback: 4.3 out of 5 from 796 reviews.
What the listing never spells out is what separates it from the £699 version. Both carry that same 4.3 rating from the same 796 reviews, but this one is listed at 66 kg against 71 kg for the dearer model, and the only entry that differs between the two contents lists is the four side panels — roughly the 5 kg gap between them. So the £599 buyer reads exactly the same rating as the £699 buyer, with nothing on the page flagging that the sides are not in the box. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing and its published customer reviews, not from any testing we have carried out.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I am really pleased with this gazebo. Positives are that it looks fantastic and I think it will sustain the English climate and at £999 it was £100 cheaper than the house of tents own site, even though it came from there. Negatives are the curtains are made so that you can't have one side closed and the next side tied back but once i got to work with my needle and a bit of extra velcro I quickly overcame that. It also took two of us over ten hours to build (contrary to the instructions which say 2-3) and we missed the bit which tells you to slide the nuts down the bars for the under roof brasing so this caused us a little problem but over all the finished job is very satisfactory.”
Verified purchase“It's got to be one of the best items I've bought off the Internet. It's so easy to put together takes a long time. It took me two days but it was enjoyable to put it together cause everything just slots in. It's so perfect it was unreal. I can't believe it. I really can't. It's gotta be one of the best gazebos I've ever had quite expensive but you can see why would you get it on recommend anyone to buy it thank you.”

Questions people ask
Does this gazebo include side panels?
The listing's "all inclusive" contents list covers aluminium poles, polycarbonate roof panels, stainless steel screws, 8 concrete anchors, assembly tools and assembly instructions. No side panels are named. The £699 version of the same TOOLPORT Sunset gazebo is the one whose contents list adds four side panels.
Why does it show the same rating as the more expensive one?
The Amazon listing shows 4.3 out of 5 from 796 reviews, the identical figure shown on the £699 TOOLPORT Sunset. Amazon pools the ratings across both listings, so the number on this page is not drawn from this version alone.
What is the roof made of?
Approx. 8 mm thick polycarbonate sheets, described as unbreakable, 100% waterproof and offering UV protection of 50+.
How long does it take to build?
The listing states approximately 3 hours for 2 people, using pre-drilled profiles and its connection system.

66 kg as listed, against 71 kg for the £699 version with the four side panels included.
