hi,don't know if this is the right catergory but here goes ok.after xmas dinner we have a few friends coming over as the local is shut in the night.we only have a small kitchen so i was thinking of putting up 2 gazebo's and taping them together then sticking them to the back of the house,access will be through the kitchen door.then i was gonna put the gas bbq on low to heat it up.do you think this will be cozy enough? we expect about 25 people.any ideas? thanks

sounds good , great if you have sides on them too.
makeshift parties are the best anyway , get wild and nothing to damage lol

well I'm sorry to burst your bubble but this sounds disastrous to me. You could end up doing a load of faffing about and then find that on the night of your party it's p*ssing it down, blowing a gale and then you find out that there's a snow storm on the way - then you're snookered. I would definately try and fathom out plan B. You say you have a small kitchen but do you have a lounge or a bedroom that could be used aswell? I've been to some great parties in small places in the days before gazebos and we always managed. The more crammed the better. Have a great time though however you decide to go about it.

use good plastic sheeting to cover the walls of the gazebo's and cover the roof with separate sheeting use gaffer tape to stick the walls together leave a gap at the top of an inch to make the less condensation and use a gas heater not a BBQ as gas BBQ give carbon monoxide poison fumes where as gas heaters don't make sure the ground is good and dry if not put a couple of pallets down and a few old rugs nail the pallets together and you got yourself dry decking as long as you cover them with old carpet or rugs the jobs a good one if that's how you want your Xmas to be Ive camped out the whole winter like that on a camp site in Spain just outside Fuengirola on the Costa Del sol it was really warm and cosy me and my girlfriend lived and worked in Spain for two years but we lived like that until we got a caravan/camper van then it was less space than under the gazebo's we had electric/ calorgas cooker and satellite TV over there like that it was ace double bed walldrobes fridge/freezer carpets wood burner chimney it was the dogs much better than the caravan/ campervan

This is a great idea, but sounds a bit iffy! Does any of your friends have one of those 20' x 10' marque. You can set it up so that one side is open against the door of the kitchen. Also think about using a proper space heater that you can plug in. Much safer than a BBQ. This set up will give you a relatively comfortable, enclosed area to host your guests.

If you get all the people to stay in the Gazebo it should warm up nicely providing its not p***ing rain out and windy. Enjoy ur night. If its too cold your guests will go home though or move back in to the house, perhaps the bedroom could be adapted to a sitting area?

Not if it's going to be windy.
