Hello folks, I've just bought a tent for a tenner from lidl - Its a good weight and pack size, and I think the quality is surprisingly good - is for short cycle camping breaks.

Is there anything you can do to make it better?

Improve the seams with some king of tape for example or add extra guy points.. a waterproof spray to increase hydrostatic head?

Any ideas?

Cheers.

No you wouldn;t be able to add any of those features .. the mm of hh tht manufactures put on tents is all proffed on the insides of the tent and its impossible to add more as it would be ..you could but some seam sealent on the seams but
to be honest tho prob the price you payed for it and your happy just use it till it breaks and throw it in the bin if you no what i mean as its prob not like your throwing a 120pound escuina lightweight tent away from aztec.. i would just be happy what i got not matter how much i payed for it as all tents have the same life span in polyester now matter how much you spend ..
just enjoy it mate and have a laugh
