Spinifex Premium Gazebo

Happy with ours – Bought our 3x3 anti pooling spinifex gazebo about 4 or 5 years ago and it’s been awesome until now. The only issue we have now is the canopy wearing through where it rubs against the anti pooling bars. Not a bad run for a relatively cheap bit of gear. I think the Oztrail replacement canopies might fit, so I’ll try that, as the frame itself is still solid with hardly any rust Show details

Rubbish – Only had up for a week when 2 poles bent L shaped not excessive winds the roof has already disintegrated with pinholes and wearing at Ridge poles and seam lines 4.4 x 3m won't buy again fery disappointing Show details

Not fit for purpose!! – It's a gazebo so you would think it would be useful outside? Well think again!! We bought this because it's a lot lighter to carry than our other gazebo. 3rd visit to the beach and it broke, I'm talking in a light wind here. Totally useless no wonder they are always in the sale! Show details

Anaconda know the walls don’t work – Discussed five different types of gazebos with the experienced employee who was assisting in training a new team member as well. Discussed pros and cons of numerous brands, decided on the premium anti-pooling Spinifex gazebo and discussed the walls in depth. Bought one mesh and three solid walls. Drove over 900 km to start our six day camping… Read more

break, setting up at dusk to find that none of the Velcro tabs line up between the roof cover and the wall meaning they are useless as there’s no way to connect them to the roof otherwise. We are beyond annoyed as there are negative reviews going back over 18 months discussing this exact problem. Anaconda knows the product is inferior and is not fit for purpose. As a retailer they have to meet this expectation under Australian consumer law. Wasted my time, affected the holiday, and you lot know it’s useless and still sell the walls for the gazebo. I’ll be following this up.

Total crap – Tore through the sissor arm and cannot get spares. Anaconda not interested in helping one bit even though they are an anaconda brand. Don’t touch. Can get spares with other brands at least. Show details

spinifex gazebos are rubbish – if you break a piece of your gazebo you cannot get parts . 1 week old gazebo was in a wind and a 20 dollar part broke. you cannot buy a replacement part as Anaconda do not stock any parts for the gazebos and have no intention of trying to help get a part ordered in. very poor service told it was better than oztrail by sales staff , i checked and i… Read more

can buy parts for Oz trail. don't touch spinifex if ther is a slightest risk you may need replace a part .

Poor quality – Bought the Gazebo with two mesh and two solid walls in March 2021. Velcro does not line up between canopy and walls. No hooks on frame to hook the top of walls into No hooks to attach the bottom of walls to frame (besides velcro) Solid walls catch too much wind and are therefore useless Canopy tearing on seams after about four times of use Show details

Not good – Brought a 6 x 3 spinifex gazebo from anaconda on sale, last one, display in shop Second trip out the frame broke putting it up, the sides don’t match up with the Velcro on the gazebo roof, stitching came apart on the roof cover clips, the whole gazebo bent, broke and ripped in a mild breeze Complete waste of money went in the rubbish, would never buy spinifex gazebo again Don’t waste your money  Show details

Frame snapped with minor wind – The frame snapped in minor wind when others (kings, oztrail, wanderer) stood high. It happened at the camping ground I took it back to Anaconda and they accepted a refund, however told me that it should not be used when its windy. How is that even allowed to be sold in AU if it cannot withstand windy conditions. You have no control over wind and cannot be expected to protect the thing that is supposed to protect you!! Show details

Best gazebo I’ve ever owned – My Spinifex gazebo is the only one still going. I’ve owned a couple of different name brands and this is the only one that hasn’t failed. Had it for 7 years and used a lot, only just replaced the canopy in January. Would 100% recommend, if you treat them right, they won’t let you down. Show details

Gazebo – I have recently purchased a premium gazebo and used it twice found to holes in the top , also purchased a wall to fit on one side the Velcro tabs don’t line up anywhere and the Velcro tabs are coming away from the stitching  Show details

These are useless. Lasted 2 days. Do not buy. Don’t even want to give one star – Frame cracked after 2 days. Bought the tent to go with it and didn’t even get to use it coz the gazebo already busted. Do not buy. And I’m supposed to write at least 30 words to make a review. So Please do not buy again.  Show details

3 years later, still going good – I bought this PREMIUM version about 3 years ago and have used extensively on trips to the beach, camping and bbq in the parks, sometimes leaving it up for days at a time. It holds up pretty well too in rain and wind. It is pretty easy to set up (if you have a friend) and the poles are very strong. It has a tough powdercoating on the metal which is… Read more

scratch resistant. After using it on the beach many times it has almost no rust and all joints are still working perfect. I don't leave reviews often but since so many people seem to be reporting their issues I thought I'd leave my experience as reference. I think the cheaper standard (non-premium) version may actually not be that good but the premium, in my opinion, has been great.

No spare parts – Bought a 3 X 4.2m anti-pooling gazebo from Anaconda a year ago. One of the maroon coloured struts snapped at the rivet so contacted Anaconda for a replacement part. Sorry, no replacement struts available for that model, she says. So my only option is to chuck it and buy another one? Sorry, I can't answer that one, she says. So before you buy… Read more

anything like that ask them about availability of spare parts because they won't warn you beforehand. Can't offer any other review on the product as I only used it once.

Poor quality canopy. No warranty – Bought in December 2019. Has been used a few times. Canopy has faded noticably. Stiching has torn in light-medium wind. Edge banding has turned to dust. Poor Quality. Do NotBuy! Show details

Poor quality – We brought this along with the gazebo hut to go camping thinking it was a high quality brand. We have used it a total of 3 times. It has rained lightly once or twice but no pooling at all. However in spite of this the canopy is falling apart. The flimsy material is ripping and the seams are pulling apart leaving holes in the canopy. Seriously a joke. Don't buy this product save your money. Show details

Pathetic in the rain – Had the gazebo up for 1 night, unfortunately it seemed like it can't even handle a single nights worth of rain. Leaked all night, everything is soaked. Pathetic. Don't waste your money. Show details

replacement canopy – Bought the deluxe heavy duty 3.6x 3.6 on special of course after last gazebo collapsed from water pooling. while the frame is sturdier the canopy is not extra tough. Still water pooled but the thing is I had it stored under house in garage (3-4 YEARS OLD VERY LIMITED USE) but it has deteriorated to extent that hold down straps broke when erected.… Read more

Anaconda do not sell spare parts. No replacement canopies for them so frame is a throw away. Won't be buying anything from them in the future or spinifex. REALLY SLACK

Worst Gazebo and service from anaconda – Bought gazebo 2 weeks ago, was up for 4 days over a spa pool behind a house, had 15mm of rain overnight and collapsed, was told had it set up as a permanent structure and no warranty, So if you want to go camping for a week don't buy Show details

Spinifex Gazebo – Poorly designed, used twice as per instructions frame snapped, legs gave away, flimsy design not suitable for the purpose. definitely no recommended

Let me spin you a tale – So I bought this, plus the walls and sleeping add-on, and just finished an event down in Boddington W.A. There was winds, and storms, rain, thunder, the lot. Tents collapsing, shelters tumbling....all except mine. This wonderful thing took EVERYTHING and laughed at it. The walls zip together, by the way. AMAZING. The worst that happened was a tiny bit of weather forcing its way under the walls, no real biggie. 10/10 recommend.

Warning: do not buy this product as it’s extremely hazardous – The frame of this product is structurally unsafe. I was unlucky enough to have had my car under this gazebo when the frame failed and it has severely damaged the paintwork on my car. There was no pooled water or anything on the canopy and If I or any other person was under it when it failed it could have caused serious injuries. This gazebo is definitely not structurally safe for Australian conditions as the product states.

3 Tries The Charm – In the past year I have invested in 3 different brands of gazebo. The first had insufficient anchors and became an oversized kite. The second, complete with 'anti-pooling tech', filled with water, split and wrecked my outdoor table which was underneath. So, not to be put off the idea of a shelter being able to do it's job, I bought a 6x3 Spinifex… Read more

gazebo on special at Anaconda. Over the past few days Bendigo has experienced mid to high 30* temps, torrential rain and strong winds and the gazebo has taken it all. Bravo. Can only guess that those with problems didn't erect it properly.

Avoid spinifex gazebo from anaconda – I bought the Spinifex gazebo left it overnight in the rain. Water pooled in the canopy & the entire frame bent and snapped. I went to Anaconda as I have only had this for 4 months so it is has a 12 month warranty. They won't honour the warranty as I left it overnight. Avoid this product, I was just lucky no one was under it as there would have been an injury otherwise. This is Anacondas own brand.

Spinifex Premium II Gazebo Grey 4.5 x 3 m – Had a cheap colemans shelter from Bunnings lasted 3-5 years. sun/wind and rain. got thrashed, did well. Thought I would try the spinifex. First time I used it, water pooled and struts snapped and bent. In their description it said make for Australian conditions. warranty doesn't cover it. Crap excuse from manager and staff. never buying from Anaconda again. made a $250 mistake

Poor quality, with poor after sale services – Bought it only for two years from Anaconda. Used about 4-5 times. The canopy torn while a strong wind and lost a screw. Went to Anaconda ask to buy a replacement canopy and screw. They don't sell parts. It is finished, Don't buy cheap. It cost more. Anaconda need to improve their after sale services.

Excellent 6mtr gazebo – This is my first gazebo & so pleased with it . Went camping in rainy & windy weather at Easter & did not pool or leak . I bought walls as well . Kept all the weather out .

Good shade ,quick set up! – Had this product 4 years now it's been to Steep Point 3 times , held up well in strong winds , I would buy another .

Disappointed – Works well in summer but if you have 1-2 of rain it pools , sags, and the material starts to rip. You have to continuously push the gazebo up with something to get rid of the pooled water. Refund please. Sure it was a discounted price at anaconda but think twice

Poor quality – Poor quality gazebo used max 4 times & had rain on holiday (no wind) & whole frame collapsed. Purchased for shelter as you do with a gazebo only to be told its not covered under warranty. All top bent & struts broken because water pooled on top & we were told we should have been watching it what a joke. Unless you constantly watch it & pack it up every time pathetic Weak cant handle water

Not happy – Although the frame is well made and easy to put up ( with at least 3 people as the instructions state) the quality of the canopy doesn't match the metal frame. The last time I used it it got left up overnight and it rained. The rain pooled on the canopy and when I tried to release the fasteners to drain the water the fabric tore. It ended up with… Read more

quite a large rip. Be forewarned that although this gazebo comes with a 2 year warranty the canopy isn't covered by the warranty. You can't buy a replacement ( according to the sales person at Anaconda) you have to buy the whole thing again. So after spending $244 for what I thought originally was a well made quality gazebo for camping etc, I used it only 4 times and its now useless. Sturdy well made one piece frame Inferior quality canopy that can't be bought separately according to the salesperson at Anaconda Townsville.

Perfect Shelter! – I have used this gazebo for campings and BBQ gathering. Bought this in 2010 from Anaconda at a sale price $130, and the RRP is $360! So, I think it's good bargain for an excellent product! What a steal! :-) I regret for not buying 2 sets of this gazebo. Sturdy and stable, can withstand rain and strong wind (when we camped at Budgewoi and Windang… Read more

Beach), easy to set-up, and big size. The canopy and frame are built from excellent quality materials, unlike other cheap gazebos! Came in a bag and have wheels for easy transportation. None. Perfect product for outdoor.
