I've seen a few of these over the years when I've had to park up and plug in with an ensuite. They are sturdy in gusts of up to 40Km/h when they are pegged down with two guy ropes off each leg, according to my first hand views. They do pool with rain which will strain the fabric over time. One solution is to procure two expandable poles and stick a T-shirt/hand towel on the upper end to provide a 'spreader bar' of sorts. With the case of the reviewed item, GSM is not important - Denier is. Denier is a unit of measurement for the linear mass density of textile fibers. It refers to the weight in grams of 9,000 meters of fiber. The term comes from the Latin word denarius, which was an ancient Roman coin, fun fact. Denier is more 'waterproof' than GSM, weight for weight; that said heavier GSM is very waterproof but comes with a weight penalty. I if lived in or visited Hervey Bay, I'd want a concrete roof, because you guys have had about a metre of rain in December. Thanks mate, well done. Beginners need economical camping options. Stu
Hey mate thanks for watching and commenting again. I forgot to say if you peg them down they Handel the wind really well. Mines been through 1 mini cyclone 🌀 I think it's was 80km/h winds. Then whe video I filmed at double Island where 60km/h winds come up. As long as it's secure it's not going anywhere 💯 The ones that you saw pool with water, did they have them leaning down? We are lucky because it's on the 70 it all ways is pointed down so the water just runs off. If you have a smaller car it's probably the opposite. Thanks for the great point as all ways. And year we are ether drout or flooding up here, it's nuts.
