you would probably get a better response to your question if you posted it in the general forum or even techies corner.

There is a vast range of lightweight shade cloth type side & front panels available.

They are cheap, relatively light & quick to fit.

 

I'd go that way ....  probably get the lot for the price of a Gazebo fitted with sides and they are much lighter & easier to carry.

 

Just choose the shade cloth or canvas/vinyl annex as the occasion demands.  

I reckon that unless you are in strong windy rain or cold situation, you will choose the shade cloth.

I use a reasonably heavy grade shade cloth screen but also have one vinyl end wall that I can put up when raining as I have seen several friends buy expensive annexes and never use them

We have a 16ft pop-top.
It came with a good, all canvas annex.
We have friends who set up a market stall regularly.
They just bought new,bigger gazebos so the old ones were up for grabs.
We snavelled the 3 mtr X 3mtr, complete with 2 gauze & 2 solid sides.
The plan is that for overnight or short stays we'll use the gazebo.
For longer stays or poor weather we'll put up the canvas.
The sliding on of the canvas, poles and pegs is tedious.
The gazebo is up in minutes with a fraction of the effort & bending.
Best of both worlds for us.
The gazebo is an Oztrail.
