I bought one from Halfords;
http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_ catalogId_10151_productId_183445_langId_-1_categoryId_165669
It allows me to set up my table saw and carry on working, so I figured it was money well spent. Not 100% waterproof but certainly showerproof. Assembles in two mins but really awkward if not impossible on your own.
Depends what you want/mean by heavy duty... on E-bay industrial pop-up gazebos are £206 so I guess you get what you pay for there. The Halfords one does me for what I want and how often I use it., plus it's there if I want to use it at home.
hth, Wayne.

Argos are doing pretty good deals on gazebo's at the moment....HERE......Not monsoon proof, but will probably protect from the normal drizzle  .....

Thanks Chaps
Positioning and securing obviously can make a difference to the performance of a gazebo but still to be perfectly honest I was looking towards something a little more substantial such as
THIS
I have actually seen even better than this (internet only) with metal corner brackets but unfortunately the price jumps up considerably so I'm reckoning this might be a compromise between the DIY bend and break with a only a small gust of wind and the true industrial one's that can handle much stronger winds.
I was just hoping someone had some experience of these so called heavy duty types before.

Try Makro, I have one for working in the rain, same as the Halfords one but only cost me £18 +vat. ASDA do them as well even cheaper.
Cheers
