Hi everyone

We are considering the Montana 6 - but am very worried about its quality mainly the side porch. Looked in Go outdoors at it yesterday and the side porch poles rest on 2 black plastic stoppers that sit on the tent. In the one in the shop there was a hole in the tent from where the black plastic stoppers were sitting.

From all pictures have seen it is the way it is, but the one in Go outdoors was ripped - probably from movement of stopper on tent. This seems like a design fault. Other tents from Outwell have the side porch poles that attach directly to a pole not sit on the tent. I love the Monty other than this point

Although buyers shouldnt have to do it, its and easy fix, just cut 10mm from each end of the thin canopy pole. It takes 30 seconds and fixes things instantly.

Having said that, the black plastic stoppers on our tent didn't touch the tent in the first place as long as the adjustment strap was pulled up tight as per the instructions. If the strap was left too loose then it did touch the tent. I shortened ours mainly because it was a such a tight fit to slot in, the pole just felt a bit too long.
