Rawgarden's Gazebos: Perfect for the Beach

Think of a gazebo and you probably think of a wedding, a garden party or a covered area for your garden. But have you considered how perfect they are for the beach
? Not only do they protect from the sun and are perfect wind breakers, their generous size creates your very own private and shady area of the beach, allowing you to enjoy your day by the sea for hours longer. The gazebos available on the Rawgarden website (http://www.rawgarden.co.uk/) are great beach gazebos: portable and great value.

We all love to be beside the seaside, as the old song goes, but in reality our days at the beach are often much shorter than we imagine they will be. Whether it's because we're worrying about the strength of the sun, the threat of a light shower or a sudden bracing wind, or the fact that we're hungry and thirsty and decide to decamp to the nearest café; we often cut short our time beside the seaside. We should take a leaf out of our Mediterranean neighbours' books and get far more organised when it comes to our day at the beach - just a little pre-planning and one affordable and light-weight gazebo can make all the difference.

The French, Spanish and Italians take their beach-time seriously. It's a family affair, with large groups gathered around cool boxes filled with drinks and snacks and games and radios being played: get-togethers that can go on for hours (sometimes well into the evening). While you'll see some beach-goers using parasols, real beach-lovers in Europe – ones who want to make the very most out of their time by the sea – bring their own gazebos. Look along most European beaches and you'll see a good few gazebos dotted along the shoreline sheltering families or groups of friends and providing a home away from home by the water's edge.
