I will post a photo too,
Thanks again
Yay! You should be chuffed to bits with your tent and seriously... wait till you see how many other tents cope (or not!) with storms compared to your cotton tent.
Your Cabanon will also be cooler that polyester tents on hot days too, as the fabric "breaths".
Win, win scenario basically!!
Look forward to seeing the photos!

Planned for next year, hopefully!

In almost 20 years of camping using our own equipment we have only had 3 tents (and the present one is a straight replacement for a "fire damaged" tent), otherwise it would have been 2 . All 3 have been Cabanon. We had a frame tent, Elzas if I remember right and now have a Biscaya.
Never had a leak or any kind of a problem with bad weather including horrendous storms and strong winds, so second the comments made by other posters, when other "modern" tents are getting blown all over the place you will be nice and comfy. See whose laughing then.
Just a point on raf48's comment re the coated fabric on the roof. If yours has that you can get some condensation as the fabric is not breathable. Used to use a chamois to wipe down occasionally and it was fine. Don't get that with the Biscaya as it is completely breathable and we have never had condensation in any conditions.
A second hand Cabanon if it is in good condition is still far superior to most new tents. Enjoy it!!
