Collapsing pop-up gazebos!
Have you purchased over the last 2-3 years one of those quite affordable pop-up (normally 3Mx3M) gazebos only to find one or more of the struts has broken and it is now unusable? If so, please do not take it to the skip! The R&M Association always has need of more gazebos and has found that unbroken struts can easily be used to replace broken ones in equivalent gazebos. So contact rma@radyr.org.uk and we will happily take it off your hands for reuse in the community.
