At first glance, it looks like a Gala Pro Gazebo. At second glance, it still looks like a Gala Pro Gazebo.

Even on third and fourth glances, you would be forgiven for thinking that many of the cheap gazebos on the market were indeed an example of a great British brand, with strong and durable joints and of commercial quality standards.
But look a little closer, and you would realise something was awry. For emblazoned across its valance are not the words 'Gala Tent', but rather one of several other brand names instead. Manufactured by our competitors, the Pro range may look like a carbon copy of the Gala Shade Pro range, but at a closer look it is easy to see that it is made of cheaper materials and is of lower standard.

The reason why they are making clones is simple : it is a fantastic product, and if they make a cheap version, they can try and take Gala's customer base. These pop up structures are open imitations and aren't being passed off as fakes, with their Chinese suppliers manufacturing these rip-offs quite openly, and are surprisingly getting away with it.
The problem lies in the thorny issue of patent protection. Gala Tent has been manufacturing commercial quality gazebos with the Gala Tent trademark name for over 15 years. Our trademarks include 'Gala Shade', 'Pro-MX', 'Pro-40' and 'Pro-50'.

We have had reports that a number of small companies have popped up using our trademark names, some alarmingly were Chinese manufacturers posing as local companies. We have stopped many in their tracks, however it is a constant battle to protect our Intellectual Property from third party abuse.
Upon investigating these products were found to be very cheap imitations with poor design and build and definitely not built to last. For example, our competitors' joints are brittle and made from cast aluminium or PP plastic. Our joints are made of profile aluminium or nylon, which offer a very a advanced strength. Nearly all these companies are advertising that their frames are just as good as ours, so we did a case study and we found some shocking results.
Remember, if you are going to buy cheap, you will end up buying twice.

The reality is that you can only purchase a Pro-MX from Gala Tent!
