Footprint size of this tent is 7.5m x 5m (excluding guy lines)
Overall pitched size including guys would be approximately 9.5m x 7m
Sites don't usually want you to include the guys when giving measurements but a few do!

Hi
I love my monte verde 900. Fabulous tent - loads of room. We have found that most sites will happily accomodate it - 10 square metres being offered which is more than adequate. The front lip does stay up with the door going over top and practice makes perfect. If you have any common sense at all you will work it out easily. Its an incredibly easy tent to put up and take down.
I'm happy to answer any more questions if I can.
Good luck and happy holidays.

Well Mucker - a simple typo as is obvious to most I'd think - should have been 100 square metres obviously (10 mtr x 10 mtr) - its been a long day! Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit btw!!

Fiona,
"A simple typo" or not, as we are dealing with a newbie (The OP), I thought it wise, nay important, to confirm that the "10" wasn't right, regardless of how it got there.
Being new to camping can be daunting enough, what with all the technicalities and the jargon. The last thing they need is inaccurate info.
I agree about the sarcasm, however, but unfortunately, they don't come much lower than me, but I am too long in the tooth to change now.
As I finished my post with a winking smilie, with the intention of indicating that no malice nor offence was intended, I'll refrain from apologising, on this occasion.
I would just like to add that to use a phrase such as "If you have any common sense at all..." comes across as rather patronising, imo.... a trait not overly superior to sarcasm, in my book. All opinions, and a matter of personal taste, of course.
After your long day, I sincerely hope that you have had a good night, and that today perhaps offers you a little respite from the stresses and strains of real life.
