ashaflynn Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 (edited) Hello all, After a number of years showing with our trusty umbrella tent we have finally decided to bite the bullet and invest in a gazebo (somehow we've got more dogs to show now than we did a few years ago ) Does anyone have any suggestions of good places in Melbourne, with sales on at the moment, to buy an Oztrail Compact and walls? I never seem to be up with the "sales" info and always find out after they're over .. and usually when I've paid full price for something! Thank you oh wise ones!

Nevafollo Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I dont know, but your thread reminded me I need to see if there are any sales on around here as our gazebo was victim to high winds the other day at hillsborough and snapped!

Saw a whole bunch of wrecks at Bairnsdale last Sunday after the high winds. Peg them by the feet AND two guy ropes per leg (brace them diagonally) and they last a lot longer. Anyone who pegs feet only is begging for disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who pegs feet only is begging for disaster. Ours was pegged down like that! Winds were forcast but when we left the PM show (round 9pm) it wasnt windy and everyone figured it had passed. Apparently at around 1am the winds went crazy and people sleeping in gazebos were trying to save as many as they could ripping roofs off ect but ALOT of people lost their gazebos, some lovely person ripped the roof off both ours but unfortunately our good oztrails flew over and bent yet our good old big w gazebo held strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
