Can anyone confirm what colour the roof of the Wolf Lake 5 is? Some pictures on the Outwell site show it as green and some show it as grey! On the video it is grey and also in some photo's on the web, but we saw a WL7 at the Yeomans Nottingham show the other week and I could have sworn it was green!!! Does anyone have a definitive answer?

We have the WL7 & it's def green.

Brill tent, I just love it

Hi - I have a Wolf Lake 5, answer to your first question is that it is GREEN.

We haven't been away in the tent yet but I've put it up in the garden, it took me about an hour to do that on my own, my guess is that you could do it in 20 minutes with experience and an assistant.

There are two of of us using the tent and it is a useful size, no crouching, no head banging etc and acres of space for damp days to eat inside at a table. I was a bit concerned at the size and weight of the tent even though I have a 4x4 I did think about putting on the roof but it was too heavy to lift that high (bad back & all) so I have bought a Bak Rak - a great piece of kit. Also ordered a couple of waterproof bags from someone in Wigan that can make them to any size you want.

Have fun in your WL5 - I know that we will -

Hi, I wouldn't worry too much about the wolf lake drop down porch. I have both the bearlake 6 porch and a full drop down porch. When it rains there's little difference with both porches and a much smaller area to sit to avoid getting wet with both as rain hardly ever falls vertically, but at an angle.

Sq footage the wolf lake is not as good value as the bearlake. The wolflake 5 is fine, but the 7 is massive and i can imagine a few sites wanting more money to pitch it, that's if they have large enough pitches in the first place.

hi

can antbody help me urgently. i,m stuck between the bear lake 6 or the wolf lake 5. its for me and the wife and a 2 year old and a dog.i also want it for when the lads go on their own usually 3 adults. pitching and weight is not really an issue.

basically somewhere we can chill and watch films when the weather is crap. cooking as well. my main concern is getting muddy shoes in the living area are both porches sufficient to get ya shoes off when its rainig.i thought about buying a windbreak to put at the front and sort of make an enclosed area just for a bit more protection.i suppose i could buy a side extension but i,mnot impressed by the lenght of these (120cm) doesn,t seem to offer 2 much protection.

Cotty, See previous post. It's very much personal choice. My preference was Bearlake as better value per sq ft.
