The GAZD1T Dodecagon One‑Tier Steel Structure Pavilion is a large‑span architectural shelter engineered for parks, municipalities, resorts, campuses, and major public gathering spaces. With its 12‑sided geometry, heavy‑gauge structural steel frame, and one‑tier hip roof, this pavilion delivers exceptional coverage, durability, and visual presence.

This model is designed exclusively for large installations. It cannot be manufactured below 40 ft due to structural geometry and load‑distribution requirements, and it can be built up to 88 ft in diameter, making it one of the largest pavilion formats available in the market.

Its open‑air layout, wide column spacing, and high roofline make it ideal for events, markets, concerts, shaded seating areas, and community recreation zones.

The Dodecagon One Tier Steel Frame Shelter features a classic design that complements any outdoor environment.
