Would be far better suited to the job  than a disposable tent

Well, it has got a porch and it is made by Gelert but I am not sure how much more waterproof it would be. The fly is rated as 1500 HH but I am not sure how that actually works out in practice as its single skin.  Anybody know? MT

My daughter uses this one in the back garden for playing but it is a proper tent and I have seen them at Cropredy. there is a porch for your footwear etc.

For an extra £5.00 you get a 2000 hh

A disposable tent seems a very wasteful idea. It's only going to end up in landfill and I cant imagine it's particularly biodegradable.

Sorry stormproofusa fans, i'm still bitter.

Hahaha Lumpy, exactly what I was going to say - however, im not sure a stormproofUSA would stand up to a weekend of rain at a festival, you are better off taking a large bucket to kip under !

right, that has swung my decision completely, if its not biodegradable, im not having it. (this is from a prospective member of greenpeace, nuclear power campaigner [against], and avid recycler)
