3 × 6m Gazebo & Function Tent with Removable Sidewalls – Heavy-Duty Steel Frame

Your own function tent, ready whenever you need it

Stop hiring a marquee every time you have people over. Our 3 × 6m gazebo gives you 18 square metres of covered space for birthdays, braais, garden parties, church and school events, market stalls and family gatherings. Put it up for the weekend, take it down when you're done, and use it again for the next one.

This is a proper steel-framed tent, not a flimsy pop-up gazebo. A galvanised steel frame on eight legs holds a heavy-duty 180gsm roof cover, with bolted steel connectors at every joint. At 2.75 metres high, there's plenty of headroom for tall guests, hanging lights and decorations.

How many people does it fit?

• Seated at tables: about 12–16 guests
• Standing or cocktail-style: about 20–25 guests
• Buffet or braai setup: room for a serving table along one side with guests moving through

Open, partly closed or fully enclosed

The gazebo comes with four removable walls, so you can set it up to suit the day:

• Fully open: remove all the walls for a shaded canopy with easy access from every side. Ideal for hot summer afternoons.
• Windbreak: keep one or both sidewalls on to block wind or late-afternoon sun. The mesh windows let air and light through so it never feels closed in.
• Fully enclosed: use all four walls, including the two roll-up end doors, for chilly evenings or to keep equipment covered overnight.

Built to last for years of events

• Galvanised steel frame (38mm tubing) resists rust, so it stands up to repeated use outdoors.
• 8 legs keep the full 6m length stable and level.
• Powder-coated steel connectors (42mm × 1.2mm) are bolted together at every corner and ridge, not just push-fit.
• Base plates on every leg let you anchor the frame securely to paving, lawn or ground.
• Heavy-duty fabric: 180gsm roof and 160gsm walls in a smart charcoal grey that suits any occasion.

Ideal for

• Birthday parties, christenings and family celebrations
• Braais and garden get-togethers
• Church, school and community events
• Market stalls, expos and fun days
• Sports days and club events
• Farm days, auctions and open days
• Event hire businesses looking for a solid, affordable tent

Also a carport. Between functions, it works as covered parking for a double-cab bakkie. See our 3 × 6m Portable Carport.

Important: safety at events

Always anchor the gazebo securely before guests arrive, using the base plates with bolts, pegs or heavy weights. If strong wind picks up, remove the walls first, since enclosed walls catch wind like a sail, and move guests out until it passes. Don't hang heavy items from the roof frame, and keep braais, fires and heaters well away from the fabric.

Delivery note: The gazebo ships in a single 79kg carton, so you'll need two people to offload and carry it. Setting it up is a two- to three-person job.
