Our Three Favourite Printed Gazebos (and What You Can Learn From Them)
Over the past fifteen years, we’ve designed and produced thousands of printed gazebos for businesses across every industry you can imagine. From race teams and street-food traders to charities, councils and retail brands, each one is built to match the personality and purpose of the people behind it.
Most printed gazebos serve a practical role. They make a business look professional. They keep the weather off. They get the job done. But every now and again, a customer leans into creativity, identity or storytelling in a way that transforms a simple shelter into something truly eye-catching.
So we’ve been back through the archives, picked out some stand-out jobs, and here are our three favourite printed gazebos, plus the branding lessons that YOU can steal from each one.
Salty Kit – The Beach House That Turns Heads
Some gazebos are branded.
This one feels designed.
The Salty Kit setup remains one of our all-time favourites because it proves just how powerful theme-driven design can be. Instead of dropping a logo on a plain background, they turned the entire gazebo into a miniature beach hut. The stripes, the portholes, the anchor, the bunting… it’s cohesive, charming and instantly recognisable.
You don’t even need to know what they sell. You see it and think: coastal, outdoorsy, seaside lifestyle brand.
That is powerful branding. A coffee brand could create a rustic roastery look. A dog-walking business could lean into pawprints and playful illustrations. A florist could turn their structure into an oversized greenhouse.
The key is storytelling. Pick a theme your brand naturally fits into, then run with it.
How you can do this too
A themed gazebo works when:
your product or service has a strong visual link
you’re willing to commit to a full concept
your colours and design style stay consistent across every panel
The Yorkshire Crêpe Co. – More Is More in Street Food
Street food is a visual battleground.
If you look forgettable, you will be ignored.
The Yorkshire Crêpe Co. show exactly how to win attention in seconds. Every part of their setup works in harmony — the canopy, the counter wrap, the chalkboard menus, the bunting, the flags, even the typography. It’s bright. It’s busy. It’s joyful. And it absolutely screams queue here.
And that’s the point: street food doesn’t reward subtlety. People are hungry, walking past quickly, scanning for the most exciting stall.
This gazebo turns a standard market pitch into a destination.
Imagine a churros brand with a warm golden palette and bold cartoon illustrations.
Or a BBQ brand with smoke graphics rising up the roof panels.
Don’t be shy.
Or a smoothie stall with fruit graphics spilling across the canopy.
Street food rewards personality.
How you can do this too
If you work in street food or hospitality:
use big, readable text
match your menu style to your brand style
use height (flags, feather banners) to draw people in at distance
layer your branding: table covers, aprons, menu boards, bunting… it all adds up
Oliver Bolton – Standing Out in a Busy Motorsport Paddock
Drifting paddocks are noisy, colourful and packed with competitors fighting for attention — not just on track, but in the pits too. In that environment, branding becomes part of the sport.
Oliver Bolton’s setup shows exactly how a race team can use a printed gazebo to build presence, professionalism and sponsor appeal. The canopy is bold, the colour palette is modern, the name placement is unmissable, and every inch of space is doing a job. The matching walls, the sponsor strips, the flag… it’s a complete identity.
This is the kind of gazebo that gets noticed by organisers, fans and potential partners. It’s not just a shelter. It’s a statement.
Imagine a karting team with a neon colour theme and graphic speed lines.
Or a grassroots racer using strong typography and oversized number plates.
Lean into that energy.
Or a detailing company with a clean black-and-chrome aesthetic.
Motorsport branding works when it’s confident and unapologetic.
How you can do this too
For motorsport and automotive brands:
choose bold colours that stand out against tarmac and crowds
make your team name large enough to be visible from across the paddock
dedicate space for sponsors — they love seeing themselves displayed well
match your flags, walls and barriers for a unified, professional look
Final Thoughts
A printed gazebo is more than a functional shelter. It’s a chance to express your brand, stand out in a crowded environment and create something people remember long after the event.
Whether you want a themed build like Salty Kit, a high-energy market setup like The Yorkshire Crêpe Co. or a paddock-ready statement like Oliver Bolton, the secret is the same every time: make bold choices, stay consistent and don’t waste a single inch of visual real estate.
And if you ever want help turning your ideas into a printed gazebo that punches above its weight, our team has designed thousands. We know exactly how to make your brand look its best.
