Usage with.....1 answer
Can these be used with side walls attached to the legs? What about with the inner tent or the inner screen mesh?
MOG - Cairns City, QLD (1 year ago)
G'day Mog,
It's not ideal. Both the walls and inner tent kits need access to the legs and foot of the gazebo for attachment. You could probably make it work, but its not going to be a seamless fit.

30 x 30 legs2 answers
Will they fit
Drew - Bakewell, NT(2 years ago)
G'day Drew,
Standard gazebo legs range between 25-30mm square, so if your "30" refers to mm you should have any issues. Hope that helps!

Compatible w Fiesta and Inner Screen Kit?1 answer
Are these compatible with the 3m x 3m Fiesta? Can an inner screen tent be fitted while these are on? Thanks so much!
Jacqui - EDITHVALE(4 years ago)
G'day Jacqui,
Yes, you can use the Base Pods with a Fiesta Gazebo and Screen Kit. The Base pods will push in on the edges of the screen kit near the ground, however, there is just enough clearance and flexibility that it will work.

Can you stack pods1 answer
If you wanted to add more weight to each leg could you buy two sets and put two on each leg to add extra weight to make sure it won’t fly away on a windy day.
Craig - Canberra (6 years ago)
G'day Craig,
While it would be theoretically possible to stack these on top of each other we don't think it is advisable as they're not designed to withstand weight stacked on top of themselves. They do weight in at 8kg each when filled with water, and if you peg the guy ropes out too then it shouldn't be a problem. If there isn't enough weight to withstand the wind, then it might be too windy and the best option would be to pop the gazebo down.

Sand bags or pods?1 answer
Trying to decide which to get for market stall gazebo. Will be pre filling with sand. Looks like the sandbags may be quicker to attach (pods a wee bit more fiddly) but would you say the sand bags would be as robust/secure as the pods?
Cheryl - Nelson, NZ(7 years ago)
G'day Cheryl,
The Oztrail Base Pod Kits are a great little product & will fit snuggly around your gazebo legs. The sandbags would be a little more malleable and could work just as well provided that you've got them positioned nicely over the feet of your gazebo.

Do the pods fit 45mm hexagonal marquee legs?1 answer
I have some promotional marquees I need weights for and the legs are 45mm hexagonal.
Michaela - Sydney(7 years ago)
G'day Michaela,
Unfortunately, the holes in the Oztrail Base Pods aren't going to be quite big enough for your marquee legs. They fit snugly around the legs of the Oztrail gazeboes which are a fair bit smaller than 45mm hex.
Ben - Snowys(7 years ago)
Do the pods also fit the Coleman gazebo, I have been waiting for the oztrail gazebo since Feb, but they are now not available until September 1 answer
Will these pods fit the Coleman deluxe gazebo ?
Heather - Edwardstown(7 years ago)
G'day Heather,
Unfortunately, the Coleman Gazebos have a slightly different shaped pole which means that they don't fit within the Oztrail Base Pods.

Guy ropes1 answer
Hi. Would these pods eliminate the use of the guy ropes or are they still required?
Thanks
Kimberley - Seaford Meadows (8 years ago)
G'day Kimberley,
If you're on soft ground and able to guy your gazebo out then we would always recommend that you do so. But if you're on hard ground, then the Base Pod Kit is an alternative to guy ropes.

How much when filled with water1 answer
Hi what is the weight of each pod when filled with water as many markets have a regulation on weight per leg.
David - Rouse Hill(8 years ago)
G'day David,
I've just checked with Oztrail, and each pod in the kit will weigh approximately 8kg filled with water, 11.5kg filled with sand.

Can these also be used to secure beach umbrellas? 1 answer
Anna - Toorak Gardens(9 years ago)
I guess you could Anna, as long as the umbrella fits into the pod (about 4-5 cm diameter). Gazebo legs have a foot on the bottom which stops the leg form pulling through the Base Pod, an umbrella won't have this so there is nothing stopping the wind from pulling the umbrella up and out, this is probably the main consideration.
Ben - Snowys(9 years ago)
How do you get the walls to fit through or around the pod.1 answer
I have a Oztrail deluxe gazebo with three walls.
Jennifer - ENCOUNTER BAY, SA(10 years ago)
Good question Jennifer. The only way we can see the base pods working with side walls is to either raise the height of the gazebo so the walls sit above the pods, or leave the bottom of the walls un-attached to they drape over the top of them. A better solution for this would be the Oztrail Sand Bag kits.
