Outdoor Connection Premier Gazebo

Rubbish – Brand new 3x3 premium aluminium framed Gazebo .Picked it because it had higher pitched roof and thicker fabric to last longer . Didn't even last the first rain , frame bent and broke in multiple places...$441 wasted. Tentworld offer to get replacement bits at my expense..not happy Jan ...

Had it for over 12 years through heavy rain, big storms and strong winds. Still going strong – We had one or two other cheap gazebos which broke pretty easily... then we got the Outdoor Connection aluminium 3m X 3m gazebo about 12 years ago, with the waterproof roof and four side walls. We've had it up during storms, heavy rain and big winds and it has never broken or fallen over. One week we were camping on a headland in northern NSW, with big winds persistent for a few days sending numerous other gazebos flying through the air and bending in a heap. We thought is was only a matter of time before our Outdoor Connection gazebo was next... but it never faltered and was the only one left after a few days. The aluminium frame is very strong and will take a lot of punishment. We have never broken the frame yet, but if we did you can buy individual pieces from Outdoor Connection. As a testament to the strength of the frame, I can say that a few times we haven't bothered pegging the legs down and a sudden wind has sent the gazebo over on it's side - roof, walls, LED lights still attached - and nothing has broken... we just pulled it back over again... and pegged it down. The roof on the gazebo is still waterproof after 12 years. The gazebo roof gets 5 stars from me for blocking the sun and shielding from heat on hot days, providing much needed relief. Just one note on the walls, the side walls we got are water resistant, but not waterproof. We find they generally don't leak in wet weather and we have sat under our gazebo at night, nice and dry with rain pouring outside.... but water will come through the walls if you might have something leaning on them like a camping chair. Not a big deal. If you are camping and it's raining... well things get wet. The only problem we have had was one of the pins that locks the adjustable legs in place fell out, but the Outdoor Connection rep gave us two replacements at no cost. I recommend this gazebo above all others.

Dodgy do not buy!!!! – first time I set this up, while trying to gently expand the frameI was shocked to find the aluminum frame twist and snap in several places. For the price I expected a more durable frame. Also the case has a low quality zip that broke first use. Warning buy this product at your own risk none low quality, not durable,
