Product description
The Easy-Up 3×3 m is a portable pop-up gazebo (party tent) with a concertina (accordion) frame that springs open and locks to height in well under a minute. Made for Arcade supplies it as an entertainment cover — a quick weather shelter so your machines can be used outdoors, and a way to create a cosy, defined space at events, markets and parties. It comes with a roof and four sidewalls (one door panel, two window panels with roll-up covers, one solid panel), a carry bag, four sand/weight bags, ground pegs and guy ropes. Available in black or white.
Intended use
The gazebo is intended for short-term, supervised outdoor use (typically a single day) and for indoor or sheltered settings. It is a light shelter for shade, light weather and ambience — not a permanent structure. It must always be supervised by a competent adult while erected outdoors, anchored at all times, and taken down when not in use. Keep children clear during set-up and take-down.
Safety and risks
Before use, make sure everyone helping understands the risks and the gazebo’s limits:
- Wind is the main hazard. The frame is light; an un-anchored or under-anchored gazebo can be lifted or blown over, causing injury or damage. Always fit all weights, pegs and guy ropes. Take it down immediately if wind picks up or a storm is forecast.
- Not for heavy rain. The canopy is water-resistant for light rain only; water can pool on the roof — push pooled water off and do not shelter from storms under it.
- Pinch points. The accordion frame and click-height legs have pinch/crush points — keep fingers clear of the joints while opening, raising and closing, and follow the steps below with at least two people for the first set-ups.
- Do not modify the frame, hang heavy loads from it, or use it as a climbing frame.
- Keep any powered machine’s cabling and the gazebo’s pegs/ropes arranged so they are not a trip hazard.

Unpacking
- Lay the carry bag down and open it; slide the folded frame and canopy out.
- Check the frame, canopy, pegs, ropes and weight bags are all present and undamaged.
- Choose a flat, firm surface clear of overhead obstructions.
Setting up (opening)
- With two people, stand the folded frame upright in the centre of the spot and pull the four legs apart until the frame is roughly half open.
- Lay the canopy over the top, line up the corners, and secure the roof to the frame corners and any hook-and-loop/velcro straps.
- Pull the legs fully apart until the roof braces click out straight.
- At each leg, press the click-button and raise the leg to the desired one of the four height positions until it locks.
- Attach the sidewalls as needed (door / window / solid) using their hook-and-loop or zip fastenings.
Anchoring (do this every time)
The gazebo must be secured before use:
- Hang or fill the four weight bags on the legs.
- On soft ground, drive the ground pegs through the foot plates.
- Run the guy ropes from the top corners out to pegs at an angle and tension them.
- On hard ground (no pegs possible), use additional weights — never rely on the frame’s own weight.
Taking it down (folding)
- Remove the sidewalls, weights, ropes and pegs.
- Release each leg’s click-button and lower all legs to the shortest position.
- Push the legs partly together so the roof braces unlock, then remove or loosen the canopy.
- Fold the frame fully closed, keeping fingers clear of the joints.
- Make sure the canopy is dry before packing (see care), then slide everything back into the bag.
Care and maintenance
Always pack the canopy dry — storing it damp causes mildew and staining. If it must be packed wet, unpack and air-dry it fully as soon as possible. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap only; no solvents or pressure washers. Check the frame joints, click-buttons and stitching periodically and keep the moving joints free of grit. Store the folded gazebo in its bag in a dry place.
Precautionary measures
- Always anchor the gazebo and never leave it erected outdoors unattended.
- Take it down in strong wind, storms or heavy rain.
- Do not place it over open flames, BBQs, heaters or other heat/ignition sources.
- Keep emergency exits, fire extinguishers and walkways clear.
- Do not exceed the four built-in height settings or otherwise modify the frame.
