Festival season is here! I need a marquee/gazebo that won't fall apart after a gust of wind

I saw a ozbargain deal for a really cheap gazebo but all comments say it falls apart, so I'd like to know where would be an ok place to get one.

My budget is around $100 or so. Would Bunnings or Masters be a good start?

Are these any good, or will it break in the wind?: https://www.masters.com.au/product/101688220/easy-up-popup-g…

    $100 doesn't buy much…. we bought a circa $100 one from Bunnings (8-10 years ago), and it did not like wind. it now sports many repairs. the frame is not much thicker than a soft drink can so it fails at the riveted joins. maybe if you can take plastic ends out to see how thin they are, you may be able to see how thin they are.

    • ok thanks. Hmm.. so I guess unless I spend $300+ I don't have much choice?

  • A few years ago BigW flogged off Coleman Gazebos for $90ish that are pretty sturdy..
    That was a sale price though.
    Correction, it was $68!

  • Depending on what you intend on using it for maybe a screenhouse might be better suited and are much better in the wind.
