Reasons for getting a Cabanon? Not difficult to answer......

Top quality canvas

Great designs

Sturdy in bad weather and will last for years

Easy to pitch

When you get fed up with it, you can still sell it for a decent price

And they are canvas not poly so cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.

That enough reasons? lol

On most Cabanon models you can zip open the entire front (and often the side, too, on larger models) to create a gazebo effect area for sitting and eating when the temps soar (not often in the UK, I realise, but makes them great for camping in the south of France! ). The roof lining on frame tents helps with insulation, too. Not many tents are cooler inside than out, on hot days, but our Espace is!

The frame itself is useful, too, as you can just clip things to it:

lights

hanging larder

coat hooks

Organiser

(This won't apply to the first ebay tent you have mentioned, since that isn't a traditional frame).
