Discovery Shelter
Great Product ...easy to put together
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 options: We include 1x wall with a central zipper for entry - this saves you having to remove the wall each time you want to enter and exit.
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.

I've been eyeing this gazebo since last year, and finally got one! Delivery is fast. Even faster when we first order from Dwights. We've only tried it once, but all the family agrees that this gazebo is amazing and truly worth the price. This is just my POV, its quite heavy and we had some challenges building the gazebo, but if you're used to this stuff, then should not be a deal breaker. Quite bulky and heavy for me too. But function wise, it did actually reduce the heat when we were in the open sun. Will see how it goes during peak summer. The gazebo is really big too. Other than that - I was so happy with the product! Thanks Dwights!
love ir love it love it. got on a great deal for almost half price .can't wait to use
Erected it at home. Finally followed instructions and it went up easily with one person. Good size. Looking forward to using it in real life.
We've only set it up once so far - not really a proper test. But it seems great. Was surprised to find a full floor included, which wasn't advertised on the website. We've now had the Coleman event 14 and the Coleman Event 14 Deluxe, but neither were able to hold up under heavy rain, so I'm hopeful this one will do the trick! The walls from these two event 14's fit on this Dwights Discovery, so thats a win too! Shipping adds quite a bit - would be great to have an Australian distributor?
