Four feet under 24 m²
A 3x6 puts 18 m² on six feet. A 4x8 puts 32 m² on six. The 4x6 is the outlier: 24 m² carried on four, with a leg only at each corner, 6 m² of roof to each foot. Only the 5x5 asks more of a single leg, at 6.25 m².
4 × 6 m, 24 m² covered
Four feet, two masts
6 m² of roof to each of four feet
COL460 and ZP460
4x6 gazebos, frame by frame
Two frames are made at 4x6, and the CO figure to watch is the one that is not printed: the manufacturer sheet carries no weight for COL460, so it is confirmed on the quote rather than guessed here.
| Range | 4x6 model | Frame | Weight | Packed size | Apex height | Feet / masts | Warranty | Wind rating | Walls | Price | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CO | COL460 | Octagonal aluminium, 60mm | 48 kg | 2.04 x 0.40 x 0.32 m | 4.09 m | 4 feet, 2 masts | 5-year | 60mph | Velcro-attached | On quotation | CO 4x6 details |
| ZP | ZP460 | Grooved anodised aluminium, Ø50mm, 2mm wall | 57 kg | 2.08 x 0.49 x 0.37 m | 4.27 m | 4 feet, 2 masts | 10-year | 60mph | Sliding wall + bottom tension bar | On quotation | ZP 4x6 details |
Ratings assume anchoring and ballast: how the rule works. Certification evidence on request, for the exact model.
24 m² on four anchor points
The span that puts the most roof on the fewest legs
What that means for ballast
The four feet want 196 kg between them for a 30 mph gust, 260 kg for 40 mph and 324 kg for 50 mph, which is 49, 65 and 81 kg a leg. Identical per-leg figures to a 3x3, under nearly three times the roof, and no intermediate foot to take a share. 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.
Two masts, four clear sides
The ridge runs on two masts and the perimeter is unbroken: 6 m along each long side and 4 m at each end, 20 m in all, with no leg landing mid-wall. A doorway, a counter or a run of print can go anywhere on any side.
Apex 4.09 m or 4.27 m
COL460 is 4.09 m to the point, 72 cm above every CO at 3 m depth. ZP460 is 4.27 m. Both stand 2.55 m to the roof edge.
24 m² in people
The space calculator gives 33 standing, 22 in seated rows or 13 at dining tables at normal circulation. A bar or display takes a further 12 m² of that and a service zone 24 m².
48 kg or 57 kg, in 2 m of bag
ZP460 is 57 kg and packs to 2.08 m. COL460 is 48 kg and packs to 2.04 m. The ZP range is positioned for setups where weather exposure, brand presence and long-term support matter more than lowest entry cost, on a 10-year frame warranty.

Questions about the 4x6
How many legs does a 4x6 gazebo stand on?
Four, one at each corner, carrying 24 m² of roof between them, 6 m² a foot. Only the 5x5 puts more on a single leg, at 6.25 m².
What does a CO 4x6 weigh?
The COL460 is 48 kg, packed at 2.04 x 0.40 x 0.32 m. The ZP460 alongside it is 57 kg, packed at 2.08 x 0.49 x 0.37 m.
Can a doorway go anywhere on a 4x6 gazebo?
Yes. With no leg between the corners the 20 m perimeter is unbroken on all four sides, so nothing on a wall line has to be placed around a leg.
Is a 4x6 gazebo big enough for seated catering?
13 at dining tables, or 22 in seated rows, on the space calculator at normal circulation. Its support-area options then deduct 6 m² for a small counter, 12 m² for a bar or display, or 24 m² for a service zone.
