Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start of summer—that means backyard barbecues, pool parties, and every excuse to spend more time outside. Take it from a shopping editor: The holiday is a great time to save on patio and backyard upgrades, like a trendy gazebo that’ll provide much-needed shade during hot-weather hangs. We’re spotting a ton of Memorial Day Weekend sales—one pop-up design is over 65% off right now.
Just imagine it: your friends come over for a barbecue and instead of sweltering in the sun, they’re relaxing in your new sheltered area that’ll feel like an extension of your home. Set up a table and chairs for alfresco dining, outdoor couches with a fire pit for late-night hangouts, or a pair of cozy armchairs for a reading spot. There are pop-up designs that can be taken down after the season or permanent structures built to withstand the elements year-round.
For budget-friendly options, the Garvee pop-up gazebo is one of the best Memorial Day Walmart deals we’ve seen, at an impressive 67% off right now. It features approximately 117 square feet of coverage, plus a weather-resistant double-layer canopy and a mosquito tent. There’s also a $165 option on Amazon that’s weather resistant, has a mosquito net, and includes a storage bag, if you prefer a gazebo you can take on the go.
If you’re hunting for a permanent structure to elevate your backyard, there are a number of hardtop gazebos starting at $500—like Amazon’s modern design with a polycarbonate double roof canopy and aluminum frame or this sleek pick from Walmart, also with a double roof and curtains that allow for a fully open or closed look. A more splurge-worthy option is this 10-foot by 15-foot hardtop gazebo made from galvanized steel that’s more of a long-term investment.
