Fantastic and I applaud you.

Yes, When I was a singleton.

 I put my 2man eurohike tent up in my room at the YMCA in Bratislava to dry it out and effect a repair after a German tried park their caravan on top of my tent in prague the previous evening, I woke up in the night and smacked my head on their tow hook  (I expanded my school boy vocab that night).

Len trott We applaud you too

 Yes, I've tried out my smaller tents in the living room. As has been said, its not possible to bring a tent home and wait to try it in the garden,instant gratification, thats me!

Trick is not to put a pole through the tele.

I have  and ive slept in it  too !

lmao at that one, could have been the potential for an international incident there!!!!!!

 

 

Yes, I've put small tents up in the lounge to check them out - when the weather was too bad to pitch in the garden.

I also used two carpenters horses to hold up half the frame of our canvas tent in the lounge in January whilst I was adapting a Lichfield canopy to fit our Cabanon tent - I needed to shorten the width & lengthen the depth, so the best way to get it exact was to pin it while it was on the canopy poles which were attached to the half a frame

In February, when the lawn was really soggy, I also used planks of wood across the top of two beams in a bedroom, to hold the inner tent of our smaller Cabanon up, so that I could mark up a 'D' shaped door ready to cut & also to fit a no-see-um mesh door to the bedroom pod. It was much easier to get the shape of the door right while the pod was hanging as it does in the tent, rather than just guess the shape whilst cutting it on a table. 

Got to say that we have pitched ours in the lounge quite a few times. As it's a canvas tent, and sometimes has to be packed away wet, we find it handy to pitch it in the lounge at night, whack the heating up and take it down dry in the morning. Being an inflatable tent (no poles) this is really convienient for us!

One word...guilty
