They do. I really like pyramid tents, fell in love with the De Waards but can't afford them :-(

It is a big shame that we have such a limited choice of cotton tents in the UK now. I remember when my folks got their own frame tents many years ago from Blacks. There was a huge display somewhere up the A3 I think, looked more like a campsite than a shop, and all cotton tents. Now I have to go abroad to get a decent choice.

Its true there are so many lovely canvas tents in Holland!

The more I look the more I want one, not sure OH is keen on a trip tho  

Although I am shocked at the prices of De waards! do you have to buy all the bits like inners and that seperate?

Yup, lots of 'extras'. I priced up one that we liked and it came to over €2500. It is a lot of money but then again you would never buy another tent, the quality is amazing and the fleece lined bedroom floors are a nice touch (we just use a carpet in the tent to get a similar effect).

For a De Waard you start with a basic tent.

Anything else is an extra

So you can have an inner or curtains to seperate the sleeping area into bedrooms eg.

Then there are side panels, canopies, mesh doors etc etc.

Not cheap tents but I have not seen anything to match the quality and attention to detail that you get with a DW.

The only tent that might match the quality (havent seen one close enough to ahve a good nosey and fumble lol) is a Karsten .

It is an investment. The tent will last a very long time and the resale value of it is always good.

DW say the value of the tent decreases by no more than 6% per year so you can always expect a good price if you decide to part with the tent.

Thanks, it does look a lovely tent!

But couldnt wait any longer, brought the outwell yukon 6 today, quite similar to the trail actually, shame the yukon doesn't have a canopy, oh well it was a good price!
