Hello Folks - considering purchasing a Bell Tent (just got back from a week's camping in Cornwall and was hugely impressed with the Bell Tents I saw).

having difficulty deciding which model to get though. Can someone explain to me/reassure me that the free standing groundsheet on the std model is up to the job ie little/no water ingress or should I go for the ZIG? I quite like the idea of having the option to roll the sides up in summer for the kids to lark about with etc..

How does the std model design work? peg out groundsheet, tent sits on top (obviously) but then there is a flap that folds under the ground sheet? how do you get this flap around the pegs in the ground sheet? are you left with little gaps?

thanks

Ben
