Hi everyone

Have just come back from a brill weekend (apart from me and hubby argueing when pitching etc) fantastic weather etc etc but had a bit of a problem with the new tent.  We used the front door a couple of times (with the little canopy over the door) but found that there was too much strain on the zip and the 'no see um mesh' zip and the 'no see um' now has a couple of little holes in where it has come away from the seam. We used the other door to avoid wrecking the no see um altogether.  We think the problem could be the pole putting excessive strain on two points on the zip. Does anyone else have this problem please? 

Thanks

Hi Shell

There has been a previous thread on this subject just recently, Seems like some people have shortened  the pole, others have tied over door pole to uprights. But i do not know if any have been succesfull.

Sorry but i can not remember title of thread, but it may be worth looking for.

Hi Mike

Thanks for that, yes I will be contacting Outwell as well but can't seem to find a tel. no. or email address do you have it please?

Sorry forgot to add - I'm just wandering if the 2008 model is the same or if they knew about the design fault a while back which it obviously is and that they have rectified it in the 2008 model, does anyone know please?

Also does anyone know if the sun canopy that you can buy extra to add on for the 2007 model if it can go on either door or if it just goes on the front door (the one that already has the canopy that we are having problems with)

Thanks in advance for anyone who answers
