Pop-up Gazebos are designed for temporary event use. They are built in a portable shade structure, typically made from metal and constructed with a concertina system that allows for erection and fold-down in less time. Thanks to this feature, they are also convenient for packing in a carry bag for transport. This convenience makes the pop-up gazebo very different from a permanent structure that is likely to remain undisturbed for many years. If you are looking for a permanent shelter that can be anchored and located somewhere permanently, the pop-up gazebo is not the best option. Otherwise, pop-up gazebos are handy and perfect when you need a portable shade for the backyard, a sports game, a camping trip or trade events.
A cheap gazebo is not designed to last. Some of our customers are not first-time gazebo buyers, they learned from past experience and acknowledge that choosing quality over price is almost always the sustainable choice because it eliminates waste and improves efficiency.
We supply NZ‘s largest range of pop-up gazebos from standard to superior strength to suit your needs and budget as possible.
The range includes（listed from Standard to Strongest）:
We offer various canopy colours and a wide range of gazebo accessories to compliment your purchase.
The Pop-up Gazebo by Hercules™ instant shelter is easy to erect and take down due to its unique frame structure and offers dependable sturdiness on all occasions. The canopy is manufactured using high-quality fabric which is waterproofed, fire retardant and has guaranteed UV protection to UPF 50+.
A Hercules pop up gazebo can offer many years of dependable performance if properly taken care of. Please make sure you read our user instructions carefully before you start using the gazebo to prevent damage to the gazebo canopy due to misuse, accident and poor care.
We offer SIX gazebo frame options to suit different applications and two fabric options for our canopy. If you have questions about choosing the right gazebo and canopy for your use, please don’t hesitate to ask our experienced Hercules team.
Yes! All of our Hercules gazebos are designed with a concertina system that allows for a quick setup. No tools or assembly is required. It is easy to pop up and fold down by the maximum number of two people. The fastest time for basic structure set-up can be in just 60 seconds!
Hercules Gazebo is a trusted functional temporary shelter.
Our canopy and sidewall are made from the best quality imported fabrics and materials. High-density polyester fabric with 320g/m2 PVC coating tends to be strong, stretchy, and colourfast. Each gazebo is 100% waterproof, fire-resistant, and has guaranteed UV protection to 50 SPF. It’s A REAL PROTECTIVE shelter designed to withstand most of the weather conditions in New Zealand. You will feel confident that your family or your fellow will be comfortable, safe and proud of it.
We're proud that our range of alloy gazebos are certified great-strength gazebos with the ability to stand against a range of wind speeds between 50kph and 80kph accordingly and based on models. Each alloy model comes with an individual wind-action engineering report.
However, it is NOT recommended leave the gazebo out in strong winds or unattended, otherwise, you need to take a risk of damage effect from mother nature. Never forget the power of nature and its effects.
A pop-up gazebo is essentially designed for shade, not designed to withstand high wind speeds and heavy rains. It is super challenging if keep it erected in extreme weather no matter how prepared you are, as this can cause a gazebo serious damage.
We advise you never to assume that there is no wind and to make sure that your gazebo is always properly secured by pegs and guy ropes as well as gazebo weights. Particularly in the wet season, storms and gusts of wind often arise unexpectedly and without warning. Please never leave the gazebo outside unattended.
You should also take great care of the pop-up gazebo during the low-level rain, make sure water does not pond on the canopy, this will help prevent breakage and collapse from the weight of water.
The gazebo side walls are great for privacy or shade but they can make your pop-up gazebo more susceptible to winds. Once the wind starts to pick up, you should open the side walls to prevent them from catching the wind. The side walls could act like a sail on a sailboat and cause your gazebo to slide across the ground.
If in some cases, such as during a 3-day tradeshow, you have to leave sides attached, it is advised to get your gazebo lowered down with four closed side walls and make sure it's always properly fastened, this will help keep your gazebo stay in position. If, on the other hand, you only have 3 sidewalls, it is crucial to pay special attention to the direction of the wind when positioning the sturdy outdoor canopy. If the wind enters directly underneath the gazebo, it is dangerous that the wind cannot find its way out and the gazebo is blown away.
Our canopies & sidewalls are made from the best quality imported fabrics. We offer two different types of fabrics for our entire range of plain and custom-made gazebos, one of which is standard PVC coated polyester and the other is 100% Polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Polyester is the most common and cost-effective fabric used in the gazebo industry, while 100% PVC is a premium fabric which has better performance if your gazebo needs to be left up under the direct sun for a long period of time.
Every gazebo package includes a high-quality polyester canopy, 100% PVC fabric is available to upgrade at additional cost. *Black, White, Blue, Light Grey, Navy, Green and Red are standard colours, premium colours can be customized at additional cost.
1) Thick 500D PVC Coated 320gsm Polyester:
Standard Colour Options: White, Grey, Black, Red, Green, Navy, and Blue.

A set of pegs & guy ropes is included in a standard gazebo package. Your gazebo must be secured to a fixed structure by using pegs and guy ropes to provide additional stability. This is essential to avoid wind damage. Further support can be achieved using leg weights, like sandbags and steel leg weights.
Anchoring method will vary on different surfaces. Please read about our anchoring tips in How To Anchor A Gazebo.
We stock a comprehensive list of spare parts at low cost in case of damaged or loss.

Carrick Denize –
They provided all the information I needed to decide on buying from Hercules Gazebo. A professionally run business and will easily advise anyone to buy from them.
Davieth Verheij –
Excellent service and good quality product.
Corina Lyons –
I bought a basic steel gazebo years ago and it’s held up. No rusting or loose bolts or canopy rips, unlike with other, cheaper brands. I was so impressed with that I upgraded to the aluminium series.
Ben –
Despite global shipping chaos & ordering during the Christmas rush, this company delivered. We use our marquee for markets & the Hercules quality is better than others we saw. Sure, you can find cheaper on Trade Me but more than one cheaper marquee collapsed because of wind at a market recently. Make no mistake, you get what you pay for! Great quality for a decent price, what more could you want?
Tony Christiansen –
Lightweight and sturdy gazebo, perfect for my application. Great service and prompt delivery.
Marama McKinnon –
Very happy with the online chat service, and thanks very much for my order.
Kylie Harris –
I love my gazebo. It’s super easy to put up and the finger hooks mean no nipped fingers. It’s strong and sturdy yet light enough for me to handle in and out of my car. No regrets purchase, highly recommend!
Tim Welsh –
Fast and efficient. Great website. Easy to navigate. A great product.
Fiona Cooper –
Yes it’s best selling products for 10 years and still going strong. Well done, Hercules Shelter.
