1. Karsten

2. De Waard

3. Cabanon

4. ESVO

5. Tesco

Asked OH where De Waards are made and he thinks it is what used to be Czechoslovakia

But they do repairs etc here.

Probably the Chinese company that manufactures the majority of synthetic tents on sale in the UK, regardless of their brand name.

we have had 2 outwells and never been let down by them we also have a vango but only camped once in it and it was fab but dont know against wind rain etc, got a gelert tornado yet to come out of the polythene let alone see grass ...............  i think there much the same and it is personal preference and brand loyality. we bought a vango orchy as we couldnt find an outwell product to match it after trawling for hours on here  

i wouldn't like to say which is the best or give  a reason ...... i will sit on the fence for this one i think lol

love cabanons though but as i have repeated in other posts ....... hubby says NO!!!!

family tent?outwell simply because well they used to be priced within most budgets and look and feel nice and stand up to our great british summers,all well and good wanting canbanon but at there prices its just not possible.

Well it has to be Vango for me, ive got 2 of their tents & a Sleeping bag, the quality is seamless.

God I sound like a Vango sales rep......lol
