I bought an Oztrail deluxe a few years ago only putting it up for the first time now. I found it excessively easy one person but didn't do it like others do to get the top part up. Oztrail might squirm a tad when I say I'm going to use mine as an insect excluder for my summer vegetables swapping the top for woven ant-insect net - and sides naturally.
Hi. Been watching lots of gazebo vids as I'm looking to purchase a gazebo, plus checking shops. The Dune gazebo from Anaconda is exactly the same as this one, frame and anti pooling struts, except is a beige color cover, and a little more expensive. I'd personally change the tie down string supplied from the 3mm dia (I think?) that's supplied to at least 4mm or 5mm rope, also use stronger longer thicker pegs or use screw in pegs. Have you actually had it in heavy rain? BCF also have a anti pooling technology gazebos (Wanderer) different frame style slightly cheaper. Thank you for the vid. Cheers
Thanks Steve, I think everyone will find your research useful. I haven't seen the Dune, but I think the OzTrail has it over the Wanderer yea a little thicker string couldn't hurt..I forgot to mention in video that the metal tensioners are a little basic, be interesting to see how they fare I haven't taken it out in a good downpour, but thanks that would be a great video follow up. If you remember check back in and let us know what you end up getting, happy hunting!

How did it go @Tripartizans?
