Four frames are made at this footprint and they differ by 17 kg and 63 cm of apex. Those two numbers, plus the 1.52 m to 1.60 m packed length, are what to check against your vehicle and your handling arrangements.

Ratings assume anchoring and ballast: how the rule works. Certification evidence on request, for the exact model.
9 m² in practice
On the space calculator at normal circulation, a 3x3 takes 11 standing guests, 7 in seated rows, or 4 at dining tables. Those figures assume no support area: add a small counter and the space calculator takes a further 6 m² out of the guest space.
Nothing stands between the corners of a 3x3, so the whole 9 m² hangs off four anchor points, 2.25 m² of roof to each. There is no fifth leg to share the load, which is what makes the ballast figure the one to read.
The anchoring rule is 1.61 kg per leg for every mph of the strongest gust you expect. On a 3x3 that is 49 kg on each foot for a 30 mph gust, 65 kg at 40 mph and 81 kg at 50 mph, so between 196 kg and 324 kg of ballast has to reach the pitch alongside the frame. For the full 60 mph rating LP Tent specifies 130 kg per leg on hard standing, or stakes with 150 kg of pull-out on soft ground.
AF330, COL330, XP330 and ZP330: Alu45, CO, XP and ZP all publish a 3x3, and Pagode and GP list 3×3m among their sizes. Only the three 3 m-depth footprints carry all four measured ranges, so at 3x3 the choice is about the frame rather than availability. The CO is the range positioned for general event, trade and market cover, on a 60mm octagonal frame with ball-trigger leg adjustment.
The Alu45 3x3 is 21 kg, the CO and XP 26 kg, the ZP 38 kg. They pack to between 1.52 m and 1.60 m long, the shortest packed lengths in the catalogue. Measure them against your load space before the walls and the ballast go in beside them.
The Alu45 stands 3.15 m to the point, the XP 3.29 m and the CO 3.37 m. The ZP 3x3 stands 3.78 m, and the range spec gives its profile as a taller leg, roof spike and valence, which is a larger surface for branding. Twelve metres of perimeter means four 3 m sides to wall, half-wall or leave open.

3x3 gazebos
The Alu45 to 1.52 x 0.29 x 0.29 m at 21 kg, the CO to 1.55 x 0.32 x 0.32 m at 26 kg, the XP to 1.58 x 0.29 x 0.29 m at 26 kg, and the ZP to 1.60 x 0.37 x 0.37 m at 38 kg. Check those against your load space.
49 kg for a 30 mph gust, 65 kg for 40 mph and 81 kg for 50 mph, applying the 1.61 kg per leg per mph rule. Four legs, so 196 kg to 324 kg in total. The anchoring page converts that into water bags, cast iron or concrete.
11 standing, 7 in seated rows or 4 at dining tables, on the space calculator at normal circulation. Add a small counter and the calculator takes a further 6 m² out of the guest space.
The CO 3x3, model COL330. The range is positioned for general event, trade, market and venue shelter where a dependable professional baseline is enough, rated to 60mph with adequate anchoring and ballast on a 5-year warranty. The Alu45 sits at 40mph on a 3-year warranty for lighter, fair-weather professional use, and the XP and ZP carry the sliding-wall tension system for printed canopies.
