Garden 'Event Shelter' (Coleman brand?)

[Careful_Bodger]

Anyone here have knowledge or experience of 'igloo' style event shelters?

I am aware of the Coleman brand, which I am sure are very good, but I have a recollection of much thicker poles (these are only 20mm IIUC, and I recall 1"-1.5" or so), and what looked looked like galvanised steel, rather than shiny or coated.

Was this maybe from a different manufacturer or a much earlier product range vintage?

I have spoken to a Coleman rep, who was helpful but could not shed any light on things.

Ooop! After a large size BTW, so 4-4.5 meters per side.

My Daughter has had the 3m model which has been permanently erected for 2 years in the garden and the cover has now started to rip but replacements are available. ...There doesn't seem to be any corrosion to the frame though which is probably 20mm ish and looks powder coated
