Details & Specs
We all know that you’ve got to be cruel be kind in the right measure, but Mother Nature may not always agree. Make sure you give yourself a nice sheltered space from the sun and wind to relax under, with the Zempire Aerobase Shelter.
This shelter inflates in mere minutes and will pack away just as quick – just lay it out, put the pump in, add some air, thread the poles through and you’re done! Everyone knows that Australian outdoor conditions can get so hot that you can actually fry an egg on the ground, so a shelter like this with SPF50+ protection will give you another layer protection from the harsh summer climate.
The packed Aerobase is almost half the size of your average steel shelter, and you can collapse the shelter by the inflation valve instead of removing the canopy. So, whether you’re off to a watch a sporting event, hosting a backyard BBQ or setting up camp – the Aerobase will give you some shade for you to relax under, and wind protection if the weather goes awry.
- Fully seam sealed
- Two-way door zippers
- Freestanding frame design
- Compact packed size
- Pump included
- One side wall included
- Carry bag included
- 4 x sand pegs and 16 regular pegs included

No good in windy conditions
In the instructions inside the bag it states that the gazebo is not suitable for windy conditions. The gazebo is unstable in moderate breeze if even one of the four guide ropes becomes detached. In winds of 30km/hr+ the stability of the gazebo becomes a concern. Ours had to be saved from blowing swag by a neighbour on the campsite. Meanwhile Coleman event 14 gazebos weren’t even fluttering. Kicking myself for buying this lemon. I have an inflatable tent which I’ve had no issues with. My view is this is just a poor design. It still requires 4 cross member poles to erect making it top heavy. Save yourself a headache and get a more stable gazebo, even if it does take longer to put up.
Fabulous shelter
Used once so far. Super easy to put up. We purchased the zempire hurricane pump to go with it And it inflated within minutes. Would defiantly recommend.
Quality bit of kit
We bought the Aerobase 3 to replace our Coleman gazebo that broke the first time we used it, after windy weather.If you’re wondering about paying the extra money for this one I’d say yes go for it you won’t be disappointed the quality is excellent.
Even though we haven’t tested it in the wind yet, I’d say it would stand up to a lot more than the traditional type of gazebo.
Impressed so far!
We bought this as a replacement for our 3x3m Diamantina dome shelter we had for 4 years that had suffered some wind damage. We have just returned from a week long camping trip with the Aerobase 3 and are really happy with our purchase. The 4 walls are closer to vertical than our old shelter (and Coleman alternatives) giving more headroom at the openings and a better overall sense of space. The material quality is very good in the poles, pegs, pump, guy ropes, the shelter material and zip in wall - it even has zipper weather proof seals and glow in the dark zipper handles! Setting up was much faster than our old shelter - we had a practise run at home first which I would recommend. Two people set it up comfortably - it doesn’t quite self support with the inflation alone and getting the 4 poles in place would be difficult with one person. The advice in the instructions of bowing the poles downward first was very helpful particularly for the final pole. We liked the 5 removable webbing strips that connect the 4 legs (1 diagonal) that set the correct footprint prior to inflation. We always struggled with our old shelter getting this right and this was much easier resulting in the wall zip in perfectly the first time. Another really good feature were the guy ropes (4 pegs in total required - one at each corner). Each guy rope connects to 4 separate points on the leg of the shelter. It was very sturdy and kept the shelter solid under the moderate wind conditions we experienced on our trip. This also meant that the 4 openings of the shelter were completely free of obstruction from guy ropes. Packing up as per instructions was straightforward and, importantly, fitted back into the bag quite easily at the end. Overall we (and our other camping friends) were very impressed with our new shelter on its first trip. We did consider the Coleman options but after seeing them at the campsite we are happy we spent the extra money on the Aerobase.

Thanks for the review, Phil! Very helpful for anyone looking for a new shelter... thanks again!

Sturdy Shelter
We have yet to use this shelter in the wind yet - which is our main reason for getting this model, but so far, this present as very sturdy.after erecting, we pushed on the sides to get a feel for how much pressure it would be able to withstand - seems like would be a lot, but true test will be nature and will have to wait for that test to see how it goes.
Shelter much smaller than our previous - but prefer the smaller size to a flimsy shelter.
Love that the wall is both solid and flyscreen unlike most other shelters where you have different walls for each purpose and have to move them around depending on what you want in each spot at different times of the day.
Q&A's (17)
Easily moved to mow lawn?1 answer
I was looking for a shelter that can be setup in a backyard and moved easily when I want to mow the lawn. Can this shelter be moved easily without taking it down once setup?
G'day Tom,
Great question, the Aerobase 3 Shelter is a temporary shelter so it's not really designed to be left up permanently, so if it's being left up long enough to need to mow your lawn then you might need to consider a more permanent shelter option. The Aerobase 3 Shelter should be left up unattended or longer than your average camping trip (e.g. 1 to 2 weeks).
Is the air valve stopper available1 answer
chasing a plug (stopper )for the inflation also one spare pole section
G'day Jason,
Unfortunately we dont stock spare parts for the Zempire Aerobase 3 Shelters. I reckon your best bet would be to contact Zempire directly and see what they can rustle up for you! info@zempire.com.au
Aero Pump for the Aerobase shelter.1 answer
If the Aero Pump is no longer available what is a compatible replacement pump. What is your recommended replacement pump that works just as good if not better??
G'day Garry,
The Zempire Hurricane Pump will do the trick to inflate the Aerobase 3 Shelter.
Does it / can it use guy ropes?1 answer
The pictures seem unclear
G'day Max,
The Zempire Aerobase 3 Shelter Wall comes with guy ropes pre-attached to the outside of the shelter.
Does it have a floor?1 answer
It would appear from the pictures that it's the roof and walls with no floor. Or am I (hopefully) mistaken?
G'day Brendan,
The Zempire Aerobase 3 Shelter doesn't come with a floor, no. You can grab a Ground Sheet for it here though.
What is the packed size?1 answer
Is the 4 much bigger than the three?
G'day Matt,
When packed down, the Zempire Aerobase 3 Shelter Wall is approximately 74 x 38 x 34 cm. The Aerobase 4 is slightly bigger at 74 x 43 x 43 cm.
How much does areobase 3 weigh?1 answer
Weight is listed at 14.5 kilos. Does that include pump poles etc or just the shelter. I'm interested in total weight
G'day David,
I've just checked this with the web team, and the 14.5 k weight listed includes everything that comes with the Zempire Aerobase 3 Shelter.
Could you tell me if this would fit up against the areodome txl?1 answer
We have the txl and wondered i we could fit this to the dry area at least butt up if not slightly over top? Thanks
G'day Louise,
You shouldn't have too many problems butting the awning area of your Aero TXL Tent up to the Zempire Aerobase 3 Shelter. You might just need to work out a way to not have water leak off the front of your awning into the shaded area of the Aerobase.
Light / lamp suitability1 answer
Good morning, does the Aerobase 3 (and 4) have hooks or good spots to hang lamps? Also is the only difference between the 3 and 4 the size factor or is the 4 also a later model? Many thanks
G'day Cameron,
The Zempire Aerobase shelters have a hook in the centre where the air poles cross that you can hang a lantern from.
The only difference between the 3 and 4 models is the size.
When will you be receiving more stock? 0 answers

What is the central height of the shelter?1 answer
When fully inflated, what is the internal height of the dome
G'day Rob,
I've just checked with the info given to us by Zempire, and the peak height of the Aerobase shelter is 2.3m.
Dimension Comparison to Coleman Event 141 answer
I know the Coleman Event 14 has a bigger footprint - but do you know the height/width of the doorways and maximum height of each gazebo? Thanks. :)
G’day Damian,
The doorways on the Event 14 are as wide as the width of the sides which are 4.26m, and the height is 1.8m. As for the Zempire Aerobase – we’ve checked with the supplier, and they’ve said that the doorways are 1.7m high, and 2.7m wide.
Can the corners be anchored when on the beach?1 answer
Is there a way to anchor the corners on the beach to deal with typical WA wind on the beach?
G'day Miles,
We've just had a look at what you get with the Aerobase, and this particular shelter does come with four smaller (approx 20cm) sand pegs, plus 16 regular pegs so you will be able to anchor each corner down on the sand with the included sand pegs.
If you are going to be on very soft ground, you could always get some extra sand pegs in a bigger size like the 300mm Plastic Sand Tent Pegs from Poles Apart, or some even sturdier ones like these Aluminium Sand/Snow pegs in the 310mm size for the guy ropes.
This shelter is made to withstand a bit of wind, but just keep in mind that they are not designed for extreme weather conditions.
Do you have the Aero pump for purchase?1 answer
can't see it on the website
G'day Joe,
We have the Aero Pump in stock, but for some reason we just hadn't got around to activating it - so thanks for bringing it to our attention Joe. We've made it live now, so you can check it out here if you're interested.
Does the aerobase fit over the top of or flush in line with the entry of aerodome 2 and 3?2 answers
I am hoping to purchase aerodome 2 or 3 and use aerodome out front as my shade seated area but want it to either go right over the entry or at least flush in line. Thanks
G'day Ryan,
This is a bit of a tricky one Ryan, we actually don't have them both set up - but I've had a chat with Zempire, and they've told me that even though the peak height of the Aerobase is 2.3m, the top of the doorway is 1.8m - so it's going to be lower than the Aerodome II.
This means that they're not going to line up perfectly, nor will you be able to have the Aerobase sit slightly over the entrance of the tent because the doorway will obstruct it. I hope this made sense, let us know if you have any further queries about the range.
G'day Ryan,
I've just spoken to Zempire and the Aerobase 2 to 3 connector is now available in Australia. We don't stock it but should be able to do a special order for you. Please send us an email (service@snowys.com.au) and we can chase up a price for you.
