Hi

Would you buy an e x display tent . It is a good one from Outwell and only been up for four weeks?

Many thanks

I would be very cautious about buying an ex display tent, what has it been pitched on whilst on display if it is gravel or hard standing then people walking inside it could damage the groundsheet

What a lot of people tend do when they see a display tent is pull at the seems and tug at the zips to see how well made it is, you also get spares hunters around the display looking to replace the toggle that they lost during the last camp

If the tent is still up have a good look all over it checking all the points above and if you are happy with the way it looks and the price is right then consider it, but if it is down and packed away then I would not touch it unless it was seriously cheap

 We have just bought an ex display tent and paid £60 less then it was advetised for(advertised for £199.99 paid £140) we had a good look round it and was assured everything would be checked when they put it down. It had been pitched indoors. we havnt pitched it our selfs but have had it out the bag, the adjustable pegging eyes look slightly worn from were they have been anchored down for a length of time and the outwell door mat looks like a few people have wiped there feet on it. We will know more once pitched apart from that all seems well.
