how did the Bear stand up to the heavy rain this past few days?

Hello!!

Still getting considerable leaking on the seams of the front pole...can see water dripping thro...Its continually in the same place on either side of tent..

Any ideas what to try? All the other concerns sure enough have corrected themselves..really pleased with tent as a whole...just need to stop the water...over night were getting a cup full on each side which is not acceptable (listening to the feedback of other BL6 owners..

Apart from this issue I would recommend the BL6 completely

Hi Mudmover,

Has the tent drid out fully between rain spells? This should allow the leaks to fully seal themselves.

If it has fully dried out a couple of times or so and it is still leaking the take it back rather than trying to cure it.

Cheers

Hi, yes the tent has dried throughly but I can see exactly where the rain is coming through in 2 places on the front panel seams....this has continually happened on four occassions....I feel very unlucky indeed..On the same front panel the double stiching has not been overlapped correctly and as such there is stress on a single cotton line which will ultimately fail at somepoint.

I will return it in next days..Go outdoors are aware and have been supportive..I will defo get another BL6 from go no worries.

Hi Amanda, I think cursed is more the case.......I did return tent yesterday and spoke with Karen...

I showed the water entry points on tent..Its certainly not going to stop!

The main door panel where its only been single stitched..the other stitching line has completely missed join.Karen confirmed this is a defo fault.

The small bedroom is missing a top clip putting stress on complete broom.

It should be sorted tommorow.....
