I thought this might interest some here. Its almost identical to the Vango Delta 300 tent. Which is a spectacularly good tent. All for 29.99
They also have a few other bits and bobs this too.
Good shout dezzie. I'm looking for a 2/3 person pup tent and was going to get either a Vango Alpha 300 or Gelert Rocky 3. As you say similar specced tent with reasonable HH and at a cheaper price. Only negative, based on the photo, is no built in groundsheet for the porch area. Be interesting to see if the product has this when it arrives in store.
Take care with v cheap tents! My friend and I each bought a 3-person tent from Lidl or Aldi last year. Half term weather did for them both on the first outing - on one the main pole sheared, and on the other the zip went. With what survived we have one useable emergency tent for fair weather only! ie a waste of £30
If you see my thread, 'Bagged a Bargain', I ended up buying an unused customer return Coleman Coastline 3 for £29. Glad I resisted the Aldi tent, especially, aving checked them in store, as they don't have a porch groundsheet.
Caution with Aldi tents - I bought a 2 manner, and the outlaws bought a 3 manner - they were cheap to buy and both were very cheaply made and simply didn't hold back the rain. Tricky to put up and take down.
