Hi,

Obviously you need outdoor space to erect it on your return.If that is not possible I know people who drape it over the staircase handrail.On one occasion we cleared out our bedroom (18 x12 feet)and spread it out on the floor,it was only damp though no soaking wet.We now have extended our lawn so we don't have a problem anymore.
Never heard of a tent drying company before,how much do they charge.Is it a big warehouse or similar?

we hang the tent over the banister but my freind is a firefighter - she takes the groundsheet down to the station, hoses it off & then puts it in the drying room!

charge £30 for pick up, dry , return, they also offer a storage service!

they have a big warehouse, pitch the tent, dry it pack it and return/store.

w w w . g e t - u - c a m p i n g . c o . u k / s h o p    without the spaces!!!

 


Never heard of anything like this before but what a brilliant idea17 Sounds a bit dear to do after every time you go away but ideal for the last trip of the year before putting away for winter storage.  Is it cheaper if you drop it off yourself?

This is a bit expensive......say you go away 6 times a season, there is a chance that you have to pack away wet everytime.......£180!!!
I know that is very unlikely but could happen especially with our climate.
Another alternative is to go to your local park/football pitch and put it up there.
