We have just brought a lichfield arapaho 6 dlx from an outdoor leisure shop.

We were told by the owner that all his tents have hydrostatic heads of 3000mm so we prurchased this tent £129.

i have just been on the tents direct site and they list this tent as hh of 2000mm is this correct?

should I be worried about rain getting in with this HH? as we want this to use for three seasons.

If anybody could offer advice/info I would be most grateful, thank you

I have just bought the same. I hope it will be ok. does anyone have experience ?

we have the apharo 9 and have had no problems at all with leaks.  We were away in the storms that hit glastonbury last year and it held up fantastically!  We did get a leak but it came under the flysheet cause we didnt peg it out properly ooops! lol

It has lasted us 2 years so far with no problems at all :o)

We've had one of these for 3 seasons now and have had no problems. We've not even considered reproofing it yet.

To be fair ours is now showing signs of wear and will probably only last another season. The material is quite thin.

 we have the 9dlx, and have had no problems in heavy rain and very strong winds, in fact we returned from a windy day, and as we drove through the site saw that more expensive tents had blown down, but as we reached our field our lichfield was stood up with no problems at all, and we only use the pegs that are supplied.

 We paid £149 for our 9dlx, money well spent.
