About us

About Gazebos Australia

An independent, plain-English guide for Australians choosing and using gazebos, pergolas and outdoor shade.

What we do

Gazebos Australia helps Australians choose, size, set up and look after shade structures. We publish guides on choosing pop-up gazebos, gazebo sizes, wind and anchoring, market stall set-ups, care and repair, the differences between gazebos, pergolas and patios, council approval, materials, sun protection, shade sails and shade cloth ratings. Our size planner helps you estimate how much cover you need.

About this domain

gazebosaustralia.com.au was previously used by an online store selling portable gazebos, shade sails and outdoor products. That store closed, and the domain was relaunched in 2026 as an independent guide. Every page has been written from scratch. We are not connected with the previous operator or any retailer, and we don't sell gazebos or any other products.

How we research

We base our guides on authoritative sources, including:

  • Cancer Council Australia and the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA);
  • the Bureau of Meteorology;
  • state planning portals, building regulators and councils;
  • the Australian Government's Your Home guide and references to Australian Standards;
  • manufacturers' published care and safety instructions, and reputable reference works.

We list sources on every page and show when each guide was last updated. We don't invent statistics, prices, test results or reviews. Read our editorial policy.

Not professional advice

Our guides are general information, not building, engineering, planning or medical advice. Before building a permanent structure, check with your council and use qualified, licensed professionals. For personal sun-safety or skin-health advice, talk to your doctor.

How we're funded

We may earn a commission from some links and from clearly labelled featured listings. This never affects what our guides say. See our editorial policy and feature your business page.
