Doesn't like the rain – I borrowed one for Christmas 2014 , We had rain water built up on the low side of where it was situated and bent 1 scissor action struts as well as some of the plastic. Also with the wind that came with the rain tore the canopy and a mounting too. So now I have to replace it because I would not give it back to who I borrowed from. I have to be fair, Once I replaced the scissor action struts and plastic hubs and repaired the canopy I used it at a family function on the October long weekend 2015 in 30+ degrees and it provided welcome shade.
OK – Not a bad gazebo - think about another brand if you spend that type of money though. If you get one make sure you keep the receipt - you might need it! The head room is nice and high and there is more room to swing a cat or two! It is great - we use it for work stalls. The build quality is only fair. I had a party and it rained. Perfect you would think. Not the next morning - once rain welled up the main structure collapsed and broke. When I took it back they said it had rusted in the frame. We only used it 3 times before then and it haven't rained any of those times. Too expensive - $499
Excellent – I bought two of these in Karratha Western Australia to stage an outdoor event. I was able to purchase matchig walls and the entire presentation looked up market suiting the image I wanted to convey, and the pavillions stood up to the wind exceptionally well when anchored down with strong roopes and pegs. I did four exhibitions in a row, travelling accross the country and fond these easy for one tall strong person to put up alone or two short peope to assemble. Taking the pavilions down again is a breeze. I have no complaints. Strong, excellent outdoor display pavillion, looks professional

Yes I bought an OZ Trail deluxe and kept it packed for quite a while and paid $499.00 for it. When finally I erected it for use a heavy rain also came along and the whole thing just collapsed, very disappointing.It was quite a mess, I took the whole lot to the tip, feeling rather disgruntled but some reason thinking it was my fault.
Then recently I have spoken to several market stall holders as I frequently work at Markets with my job and get around to many checking them out. Many stall holders advised me that they have frequently used the smaller version of OZ Trail Shade Gazebo and have reported how they have collapsed, one losing valuable clothing stock. Quite devastating.
Might be an idea to revisit the strength of the structure of the frame, and shape roof and its capacity to hold in wet weather. The smaller Gazebos are easier to erect, but no good if they cannot last the pace.
