Thread: Coleman Event Canopy

FOUND THIS,
Diamantina Escape Portable Gazebo

With a couple of side walls, should give good shelter. I recently bought one of their tents, very happy.

And, i see Coleman do not provide spares in Australia, i dont see how they get away with that

Don't have one myself, but my neighbour does, (do they do a 16' version? I think his is 16') He swears by it, camps and picnics often both from vehicle and boat. We've only joined them once while it was in use and it seemed to go up and down quite easily and gave impressive shade while up.

Talking about coleman gazebo.

Have used several in different environments in Britain.
They're excelent. Reasonably wind resitant, UV proof and, despite their advertising not mentioning, they're waterproof.
Very good value.

How would you know it is UV resistant in Britain?

Good point

I have the event14 brand new still in the box, they were $299 at one stage and i got ours for $189 which is what they go for now.
Havent used it yet but we saw a family using one at Geelong on boxing day this year and thought they were a great idea so bought one.

I have one and its great, first time was a bit trcky to set it up but after that no worries .

Its great when we go camping for a few days or more as they provide a lot of shade and at night time i have plenty of space to hang the LEDs from, for my family of 5 we fit nicely.

used it this year up north while camping and the wind pick up which didnt bother the shade at all, i have found it much better then the other pop up sahdes and its lighter to carry.

Whereas the actual fabric might be waterproof the actual seams are not waterproof.

Care is needed if it gets windy. It is possible to make a pole to attach to central plastic roof fitting which stops it collapsing. Better guying then the guy ropes provide are needed in windy condition. Also you can make a webbing square with guy ropes to go over the top to stop it lifting in the wind.


Good in calm conditions but need extra guying if likely to get windy.
