Our Core Shelters offer great protection from the NZ sun and rain. A portable gazebo built for NZ and our changeable local conditions. Tried and tested - continually one of our best sellers every year since 2012. Great for summer days at the beach, family picnics at the park or as your camping HQ.
The shelters are 4.5m x 4.5m with a max height of 2.4m providing 20sqm of coverage. Also includes 1 side wall which is easily clipped on to any of the side arches. A range of accessories like walls, floors, rooms and connectors means you can choose a setup that suits your needs
Our shelters are made for NZ conditions, using tough durable 150D Oxford covers to stand up to NZ's damaging sun - twice the thickness of many lower Denier shelter covers which can weaken and tear easily after exposure to the sun - read about tent fabrics and specifications and with UV resistant coating. And they have a waterproof PU3000mm coating and taped seams to keep rain out. Also has a ceiling vent to allow better airflow and avoid lifting in winds and heat build-up.
Build your own HQ with a full range of available accessories including sidewalls, walls with entrance, groundsheets, enclosed rooms, and connecting gutters to join multiple shelters.
Straightforward to set up and once familiar would take 2 people about 15 minutes. Can also be set up by one person but just takes a bit longer. Connect the 19mm steel poles, lock the pole sections into place, place the cover over the top and secure with Velcro tabs and hooks at corner feet, and set guy ropes.
We also have spare parts available to replace anything that might need changing out. We won't tell you to buy a whole new shelter.

NZ Shipping
Which courier service do we use? We typically use Castle Parcels and Post Haste couriers. Delivery is signature required (except for rural deliveries) … feel free to send us delivery instructions if you’d prefer courier to leave your item (no signature required).
PO Box delivery? Sorry, no delivery to PO Boxes by couriers.
Tracking details? Once your purchase is dispatched an automated email will be sent to you with the courier tracking details and link for you to follow your item's progress.
Can shipping be combined? Purchases can be combined to save on shipping costs but the final cost will depend on total weight, volume and destination. If unsure or you have a question, please contact us and we can let you know what combined cost will be. Maximum weight is limited to 25kg to send in one package.
How long does shipping take? We try to get your order on its way as soon as possible. Generally, when orders and payments are confirmed in the morning we do our best to ship them out on the same day. Orders confirmed in the afternoon will be dispatched the following day. For orders placed on Friday afternoons or over the weekend, they will be sent out on Monday.
Typical delivery times are next working day for Auckland and North Island addresses and 2 working days for South Island delivery. Add an extra day for rural (RD) addresses. Note that during the December peak season courier company delivery may experience some delays due to greater volumes.
If for any reason you have not received your order in the expected timeframe, please refer to the emailed tracking link and contact the courier company with your tracking number. As the courier service is ‘signature required’, if you are not home to receive your order when it is delivered, a calling card is left for you to arrange a convenient time for redelivery.

Which service do we use? We use eParcels - items are picked up by NZ Post and sent to Australia where they are delivered by Australia Post. Delivery is signature required. Faster courier services are also available with FedEx but please note that rates are for major cities only. For rural areas please contact us to confirm pricing as this can vary greatly.
