Look at second hand Dutch pyramid tents, and second hand bell tents?
Blacks of Greenock do 2 models at 4 and 5 metres with an excellent polycotton cloth, as are Dutch pyramid tents.
If looking at Blacks, the website is rubbish....phone them and you might be surprised.
V easy to pitch solo.

There are 2nd hand bell tents all over the internet, but perhaps if looking at them, you may prefer one with a zipped in groundsheet? Mozzie doors?
These two addresses sell 2nd hand Dutch pyramid style tents. I have dealt with both, and found them very helpful...........

We had a Trout Lake 4, bought it used and sold it on again last year. We used it for 4 and was a little tight, but was for use at festivals. For 3 it would be ideal.
Think ours was a 2010 model. If you see one with green stripes on the bedroom inner it will be 2011 onwards. Before that they were plain grey inners.
I think this is when Outwell’s quality peaked. The windows with mesh and zips to open the plastic etc, now they are all fixed windows and more plastic window than polycotton fabric on the tent!
These days as mentioned above something dutch or a bell tent would be a quality buy.
