Morning all,
Please could anyone advise whether they have a tent from this company. They seem really good and nice people to deal with, just wondering about actual quality.
Thanks.

We almost bought the TF4 with extension in all weather fabric. We were sent a sample of the fabric and it looked great but it was the head height that did it for us. There is only standing room (just) at the apex of the roof.
There was a picture on one of the selling sites showing a family sitting outside their BCT. I will see if I can find it during lunch break.
As for pitching. I would think it is as simple as a force 10. Flusher first then zip on the extension and hang the inner or, in good weather, inner first suspended from A frame and drape the fly over.
In the end we bought an obelink Alaska.

Hi Ewen, many thanks for the reply. I had never heard of Obelink until today,and have just spent the last 2 hours browsing their UK website.
The Alaska is an awesome looking piece of kit !!!
As I will be solo camping in exposed mountainous/coastal regions,I think the TF4 would suit, i have read that like the F10, they are easy to pitch and virtually bombproof, though my concern would be the pitching and striking of the tent on my own, the TF4 is a lump at 18kg, the fly when wet would be quite a handful I imagine.
As long as I am able to stand up 5'10''ins to get my pants on the morning, I would be happy with the height (i think).
If I do go ahead with the TF4 I will be making adjustments to it in the form of a fly screen porch, specifically anti-midge, (was chewed to pieces at Rynys farm last year, the local midges there appeared to like Jungle formula !!!).

Topic: BCT Tents
, as we have bought a tipi of the same weight and that goes up in the same time as a ridge with a much bigger space.
