Rebanne Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I love my one from Bunnings, same as the deluxe oztrail 3 x 3 for $159. And it has a little vent in the roof for those windy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, friends of mine have this one - it is great. It also fits the oztrail walls for the delux - velcro in the exact same spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyosha Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Sounds perfect Rebanne, I've been tossing up for ages whether to get a deluxe oztrail, but the wind vent sounds very tempting indeed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put one up over the puppy yard six months ago and the only "problem" is the roof has faded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwaY Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 The way you tie it down is also very important in keeping it stable and safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dame Aussie Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 We've been looking at these too! The mozzies have us and the dogs tortured this year, plus my OH is obsessed with BBQ's :rolleyes: It would be great as another source of shade for the hounds too. For those that have had them a while, do they last well? I worry that the weather will destroy them too quick! Might have to go to Bunnings on the weekend :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mind telling me how best to tie it down please SwaY? Last thing I want is the expensive gazebo in the middle of the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebanne Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 The one in my backyard has large water filled containers that fit around the legs as well as pegged down. It is also tied down very well to the fence around the puppy yard, 2 ropes to each corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieDog Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I saw the Canopy Outdoor Gazebo's at a market a few weeks back. They look GREAT - heaps of add on's and different side panels you can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starkehre Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I love my one from Bunnings, same as the deluxe oztrail 3 x 3 for $159. And it has a little vent in the roof for those windy days. Hi Reb, I am now looking at getting one of these as a lighter weight alternative to our heavy Altegra. I am unable to get it out of the float by myself and although it is wonderful for specialties and weekenders, I find I never want to set it up if I am alone or just staying for a few hrs. I end up sitting in the car, which is fine in winter, but in summer it is too hot. I like the Deluxe Compact OzTrail 2.7 x 2.7 (not the short collapsing one, but the usual collapsing length), Blue Canopy. This one is $199 and the walls are around $36-$40 each, and there is no vent in the roof (which is why I am looking at the Bunnings one) Is this the one that you say is similar to your Bunnings one. And is your Bunnings one called Marquee? OH went and had a look this morning. It was $159, vent in roof, Blue canopy and we have to order in the walls (individually sold) for $28 I am tossing up between the two, but really like the roof vent. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mish13 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 We just brought the deluxe Oztrail one and the first time we used it my OH said this thing needs a vent in the roof to let the heat out. It was cooler to sit outside the awning instead of under it, so for that reason alone the Bunnings ones sound good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blakbelgian Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I would say around melb shows 80% of gazebos are OZtrails with a few others being Altegra. Don't see much of 3m x 6m ones, people have gone for the smaller size. BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwaY Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I prefer to put up 2 3x3 then a 3x6. You don't always need nor want to use a 3x6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last thing I want is the expensive gazebo in the middle of the road You need bigger and longer pegs then those that come with it - sand pegs are great. You also want to put the pegs in at an angle and not straight down. The guy ropes seem to be an issue that no one can decide on - some like to pull out from each corner, others like to cross them over on two sides, Some like to make them go into the middle. Ask the place where you get it from for some tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
