2000 hh would be the minimim, not the 1500 hh. New tents shouldn't need sealant applied or proofing prior to use.
You can find some fab cheap tents, I had a Vango 4 berth tunnel tent with fibreglass poles around the £120 mark, that was about 16 years ago. Did not have any problems at all, it stood up to every type of weather. Not one pole broke, no leaks I had the tent for about 6/7 years constant use right through the year, in every half term. Made sure it was dry before storing. I now have an Outwell, it stood up to those high winds which Morecome Bay can throw, plus I had the tent pitched in the wrong direction huh, side on, not a pole snapped, then I did have the side doors open to relieve the pressure.
I use tarpaulin, if it's bigger, just tuck it under and I cut it in two, for easier handling. I use it to keep the underside of tent clean, makes life easier and for added protection. It's always advised to check the area before pitching for sharp stones or objects.
Happy camping
