Torpedo7 Corral Deluxe Family Shelter

These are good but need to be babysat in winds.
Just lost ours in strong winds that came up overnight.
I do rate them but what’s really needed is something that cam be dropped easily in strong winds. Removing the curtains was not enough.
Will replace with the same but will not take the same risks.

I have had mine for 4 years now. Has withstood major torrential rain and winds. Still like new. Im back to buy another just like it. Easy out up and down too.

We used this for all of last week, we've camped for years with a pop up steel gazebo and a much smaller dome type, we wish we bought this one in the beginning. Pros: Fantastic value for money, solid build quality (tested with strong NE gusts using spare guy rope each side to further secure the middle), space accommodated 8 chairs + 2 pantries + 2 tables + 2 bench seats, sidewalls kept 90% space dry/usable when raining. Cons: none really, instructions do not recommend cooking within so we kept these just outside the doorway.

Brought ours and 4 days later it blew flat in the wind while other gazebos around were fine, the many of the poles bent. The problem was the weak pegs, they bent in the soil and failed (made of paper mache?). The store gave me new poles and I tied it down with strong pegs and extra ropes. It stayed up through strong winds there after. The fabric is only good for 100 days of sunlight. We've had ours up for 300 hours and it rips so easily now. Great space, I will buy again. Buy it but get some extra ropes and strong pegs.

We used this shelter camping and found it much more suitable for long term use than the fold out gazebo we used last year which lacked the air vent at the top so tore under the pressure of a tropical cyclone.

The consensus around camp was this was a fantastic upgrade. We used the mesh wall to dull the breeze we were getting near the end of our trip, whilst still providing some cooling.

It was a very sturdy construction with very little effort. Like all tents it only gets better when you use all the pegs and guy ropes, all of which were handily supplied.

Some pointers for possible buyers:
1) at 22.4kg it is heavy. This was okay for our purposes as it stayed up the entire week. But any thoughts of taking it down to the beach regularly went out the window as soon as I picked it up. It just isn't practical for that sort of use for only 2 of us.

2) I didn't see any dedicated power cord entrance. This could be an issue if you wanted to use a tarp as a floor. Without a floor it's no problem.

3) The hooks for lighting amounted to a single hook in the middle of the tent. This is okay if you want to use 1 lantern. However we like to use more ambient lighting like fairy lights and found we were pegging ends to where the walls attach. More hooks or attachment points inside the shelter would be handy for decorating purposes.

This Gazebo is great!! We love it. Easy to put up and its huge. We are a 6 person family and it is plenty enough for us. It even has pockets in each corner for the walls or speakers or anything. We love it.

A good product. Appears durable maybe the corner could be a bit more taunt.

This is a fantastic product. Very durable and holds up well in rotten weather. It can still get hot inside the gazebo during very sunny days so one suggestion is to drape a trap over the whole thing. Once the sun is blocked it cools down much more comfortable. Please remember this is only tent material and has a life span of 2-3 weeks for 2-3 years. Do NOT do what I did and leave it up all summer over the pool to protect the kids as the material only lasted one season. But the product was so good and I loved it so much I had to buy another for the next summer. Note to manufacturing/ sales, please look into selling just the shell as a replacement part as the sides and poles are still in great condition.

We loved how easy this was to set up however we thought we were missing a part for the top of the tent to attach all the poles. It wasn't in the pole bag but was tied to the top of the tent fabric. Bizarre place to tie it. Also you might need some sturdier pegs ours bent with the hard ground. Awesome family shelter for 6

We are very happy with our purhase, and the service was incredible, we have never had anything delivered so fast A1. Thanks
