What makes the Discovery Shelter better than competitors pole shelters & gazebos?
Check the Waterproof ratings: Featuring a 5000mm waterproof rating, this shelter will keep you bone dry.
Check the fabric thickness: Cheaper gazebo's often use thin fabric that are prone to much faster UV degradation & tears. We use 150D fabric which is heavy duty for longer lasting resistance. Cheaper brands often use 75D which is half the fabric thickness!
Check the walls & floor options: We include 1x wall with a central zipper for entry - this saves you having to remove remove the wall each time you want to enter and exit. We also include a removable floor!
Check the fabric technology: Is it treated to reflect heat? We use a silver lined coating which functions in a similar way to emergency blankets - the sun shines in, but the heat is reflected back out!
When the sun’s blazing or the weather turns, the Dwights HeatReflect Discovery Shelter has you covered. With a massive 4.2m x 4.2m footprint and an extra-tall 2.3m peak height, this shelter creates an open, airy space that’s perfect for group camping, backyard BBQs, sports sidelines, or festival bases.
Built with HeatReflect fabric technology, the Discovery Shelter blocks up to 98% of harsh UV rays while dramatically reducing heat inside—keeping you cooler and more comfortable all day long. With a 5000mm waterhead rating, it’s not just a sunshade; it’s a fortress against sudden downpours too.

We decided to upgrade our family shelter to something stronger, after issues with other brands. Only regret is not buying something higher quality sooner.
