I agree - but my back garden is not big enough.
If the weathers good within a day or two - then my neighbours are used to seeing our tent on the front lawn. It dries much faster when up !
If weather outlook is poor then mines in the garage - I have ropes hanging from the garage rafters. I sling the outter up there and the inner tent thrown over my trailer.
Don't forget to leave a review of all tents you've used, for a chance to win fantastic prizes
ah you are all making me jealous and wishing i had a garage! think may look into the attic thing in future as it is very high...only problem is it isnt properly insulated on the roof part so there is frequently dust/dirt falling from the roof ... which would therefore mean the tent gets dusty
think for us the best is my dining room it is sun facing most of the day (when we have some and when not filled with bathroom rubble!)

Hi FB
The problem with that,is if I had the room in our garden to leave the tent up I would probably be out there liveing in it.

If you can find a friendly farmer you can always ask to pitch your tent in one of his/her outbuildings. During the summer they tend to be emptier and it will keep the rain off and allow the breeze to try it out. May cost you a bottle of wine, but worth a punt!
