3 × 6 m, 18 m² covered
Six feet, two or three masts
A 6 m side and a 3 m side, 21 m of perimeter
AF360, COL360, XP360, ZP360
Read the mast column on this size. Three of the four frames carry three masts along the ridge; the ZP 3x6 does the same span on two, which changes what stands inside the structure.

Ratings assume anchoring and ballast: how the rule works. Certification evidence on request, for the exact model.
Frontage and orientation
The footprint is 3 m by 6 m however it is written. What changes is which edge faces the public: pitched as a 6x3 it presents a 6 m frontage and 3 m of depth, and pitched as a 3x6 it presents 3 m of frontage and 6 m of depth. Which one you want depends on whether people gather along the structure or move through it.
The 3x6 is the smallest footprint with legs between the corners: six feet, with the middle pair halfway along the 6 m side. Anything designed to run continuously along a 6 m side has to allow for that pair.
AF360, COL360 and XP360 carry three masts along the ridge. ZP360 spans the same 6 m on two. The ZP is therefore the only 3x6 with one fewer upright under the roof.
Six feet share the load, so the per-leg figure is unchanged but the totals are not: 49 kg each at 30 mph makes 294 kg, 65 kg at 40 mph makes 390 kg, and 81 kg at 50 mph makes 486 kg. 486 kg is close to half a tonne, and a load to plan for in its own right. 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.
The space calculator gives 25 standing, 16 in seated rows or 10 at dining tables at normal circulation, before any support area is deducted. A small counter takes 6 m² of that and a bar or display 12 m².
AF360 is 35 kg, COL360 44 kg, XP360 45 kg and ZP360 67 kg. They pack to between 1.52 m and 1.60 m, the same lengths as a 3x3 even though the covered area has doubled. What changes is weight: 14 kg to 29 kg more than the equivalent 3x3 frame.
Two 3 m ends and two 6 m sides, and the six feet divide each long side into two 3 m bays. Walls are specified bay by bay, so a 6 m frontage can be open, half-walled or fully closed in 3 m increments. Six metres of printed valance is where the XP and ZP tension bar earns its place.

3x6 gazebos
It is the same structure. The only thing the ordering describes is orientation: 6 m of frontage facing the public, or 6 m of depth running back from it. The frame, the 18 m² and the six feet do not change.
At the four corners plus a pair halfway along each 6 m side, six in total. The middle pair falls at the centre of each 6 m run, dividing it into two 3 m bays.
The ZP360, which spans 6 m on two masts where the AF360, COL360 and XP360 use three. All four stand on six feet; it is only the ridge support that differs.
294 kg for a 30 mph gust, 390 kg for 40 mph and 486 kg for 50 mph, which is 49, 65 and 81 kg on each of the six feet under the 1.61 kg per leg per mph rule.
