B&M summer essential drops to just £50 - but shoppers are left divided

B&M have slashed the price of a summer essential.

A huge grey gazebo has been cut from £100 to just £50 from the retail store, which would be ideal for summer.

However, shoppers are divided and debated the quality of them, with many claiming it can't handle the British weather.

A shopper cautioned others saying: "Don’t breathe on it cos it’ll fall down. Slightest bit of breeze the poles bend/snap before it collapses."

"Wouldn’t even bother with them. Took mine back the same day!! Put mine up and then a little breeze came and boom it buckled. Waste of money and time," A second disgruntled shopper said.

While some claim it can't withstand wind, others argue it comes down to common sense.

One shopper said: "I've got one, it is a rubbish quality but if you look after it properly and use your common sense to take it down when you know strong winds are forecast its fine! Mine's still standing strong in my back garden after nearly 12 months, we use big sand bags for base and take covers off."

Another added: "My mom and dad bought this, they screwed the frame down to the decking and taken the covers off for winter and it’s perfect! If you think ahead about things like wind and bad weather it will last!!"

"We have this over hot tub, frame been up for twi years and frame is fine!" A customer praised.

Another pleased shopper said: "Mine is still up, bought it summer last year and it’s still standing."
