Ratings assume anchoring and ballast: how the rule works. Certification evidence on request, for the exact model.
Eight metres of run
Pitched with the long edge to the public a 4x8 presents an 8 m frontage and 4 m of depth. Turned through ninety degrees it presents 4 m of frontage and 8 m of depth. Either way the 4 m dimension is the one that has to clear the pitch, and the 8 m dimension is divided into two bays.
The long sides carry a foot halfway along, splitting each 8 m run into two 4 m bays. Walls and printed panels are ordered by bay, so an 8 m frontage can be open, half-closed or fully walled in 4 m steps. Anything continuous along that run has to allow for the middle foot.
Both COL480 and ZP480 carry three masts along the ridge, against two on the 4x6 and one on the 4x4. It is the highest mast count in the catalogue, shared with the 3x6 Alu45, CO and XP.
COL480 is 59 kg and packs to 2.04 x 0.52 x 0.32 m; ZP480 is 78 kg and packs to 2.08 x 0.62 x 0.37 m. Those are the two figures to check against your load space and your handling arrangements.
294 kg for a 30 mph gust, 390 kg for 40 and 486 kg for 50, spread over six feet at 49, 65 and 81 kg apiece under the anchoring rule. 486 kg is close to half a tonne, a load in its own right 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.
The space calculator gives 45 standing, 30 in seated rows or 18 at dining tables at normal circulation, before a service zone takes a further 24 m². Apex is 4.09 m on the CO and 4.27 m on the ZP, and the ZP carries the sliding-wall system and bottom tension bar across the 8 m valance.

4x8 gazebos
Two of 4 m, divided by the middle foot on each long side. Walls and printed panels are specified per bay, so the frontage can be left open, half closed or fully walled in 4 m steps.
4.09 m on the COL480 and 4.27 m on the ZP480, 18 cm apart at the point. Both stand 2.55 m to the roof edge.
Yes. It is the same frame either way. An 8 m depth presents 4 m of frontage; an 8 m frontage presents 4 m of depth. The bays fall at 4 m either way.
294 kg for a 30 mph gust, 390 kg for 40 mph and 486 kg for 50 mph, across its six feet, at 49, 65 and 81 kg a foot.
