STRAIGHT ANSWER
WHAT IS LUMPET?
Lumpet is a refillable sandbag anchor weight for gazebo, marquee, market-stall and temporary-equipment legs. Unlike a conventional tube bag that sits beside the leg, its claw profile wraps around the leg and buckles closed.
PRODUCT FEATURES
BUILT TO STAY CLOSE TO THE LEG.
Wraps around the leg instead of placing the entire bag beside it.
Fill each bag locally with ordinary dry play sand or builder's sand.
Approx. 500g per bag, unfilled.
Heavy-duty PVC reinforces the claw tips for added durability at the main contact points.
Add more filled bags at one leg when the equipment layout and setup allow.
A wide handle helps with moving the filled bag between storage and setup.
Includes a D-ring for a rope and a peg eyelet for pegs.
Keeps the weight close to the foot of the leg and reduces the surrounding footprint.
Helps compatible gazebo walls hang while keeping branding and advertising space usable.
GAZEBO SIDEWALLS
CAN YOU USE GAZEBO WALLS WITH LUMPET?
Yes, with a compatible gazebo and wall system. Lumpet sits low and close to the leg, helping sidewalls hang without the obstruction caused by many bulky upright weights. This keeps the wall space available for weather protection, privacy, branding and market-stall advertising. Check the fit with your particular equipment before use.
WELLINGTON ORIGIN
WHY WAS LUMPET DESIGNED IN WELLINGTON?
Wellington is one of the world's windiest cities, so wind is part of the planning for local stallholders, event operators and gazebo owners. Lumpet was developed there to put substantial sand weight low and close to the leg while keeping the surrounding footprint and compatible sidewall space usable.
STACKING
NEED MORE WEIGHT AT ONE LEG?
Lumpet is designed so additional bags can sit on top of the first. Each bag holds up to 20 kg of sand, so users can add more bags at a leg when the equipment layout, stability and manufacturer guidance allow. Stacking gives event teams and exposed setups another weight option without changing to a different product.
Those figures describe filled capacity, not a universal anchoring requirement. Stacking weight at one leg does not remove the need to anchor the other legs. Secure every bag correctly and follow the gazebo or equipment manufacturer's instructions for the site and conditions.

PRODUCT HISTORY
WAS LUMPET PREVIOUSLY CALLED GAZEBO MATE?
Yes. Around a decade ago, the same company and the same people behind Lumpet created and sold the original version in New Zealand as Gazebo Mate. Lumpet is the next chapter of that original New Zealand product, with a new name and a stronger identity.
