The side and front doors both have a zipped in mesh panel. The side opposite the door is all window - not opening so no mesh. There are loads of vents around the top - all insect proofed with mesh and a large zipped, guyed one at the back.

As far as pitching is concerned it's very easy as only 2 steel poles and the fiberglass ones I found very easy to fit. I did struggle with the rings & pins as ideally it should have 2 people to pitch it and I seemed to spend ages running from side to side!! I always find tents with a sig more tricky to pitch than those without but I think I'm very much in the minority there! No idea as to how long it took though - probably longer than most people would take but I tend to fiddle a lot and stop for a cuppa half way!! It will get quicker with time I'm sure!  I also do not like pitching with the inner tent attached and of course it's always like that from the factory. When I take it down I will remove the inner so making pitching easier next time (if not any quicker).

Hope that helps - I'd certainly recommend this tent - still can't believe what a huge living area it has for a 3 berth! And the windows are fantastic - just hope when I use it on a site I get a good view!!

No Dave - they didn't come with the tent - they are adjustable king poles - I bought a couple from Charlies Direct - they are really useful for all sorts of tents as you can have them at varying heights - great for playing around with tarps too. Just looked and they still have them here
