Bought a hanging organiser - basically a rectangular piece of nylon with about 20 pockets to put things in. Trouble is there's nowhere to hang it in our Coleman Trispace tent, which has no vertical walls. Can anyone suggest an alternative storage device for future use ? - It was only £7 so I'll just use it in the wardrobe instead.

How about a couple of these things. they have a velcro fastening at the top.

Length: 75 cm
Diameter: 23 cm

And cost £1.29 from Ikea.

They are just the job for car keys and all the little things that get put down inside the tent that you can never find when you need them.

Those are great, but for us they spell total disaster..........aren't they just shouting out, "Look Kids!! Come swing on MEEEEEEEEE!!!" ??

We have the free standing organiser above it is ok but does not hold that much if heavy stuff to front of top or middle shelf it will start to lean forward. Ours as not fell over but things have fell off.

We bought a three shelf unit (well 2 actually) they are similar to the ones that JACQSZOO mentioned but are round. Got them from a shop in Oban on out last trip away. Supposed to be £10 each but we got 2 for £15 as they were trying to clear some stock. They are good and are strong enough to be used for pots and pans as well. I think you can also get them from Argos.

Someone on here recommend stacking folding crates for storage.

Our tent is domed so no straight walls, our wardrobe takes up alot of room so were going to get some . Seen them in Asda for a couple of £'s each.

I girl I work with takes her clothes in them for the weekends at the caravan.

I got a 5-pack of crates from Argos a few weeks ago for £7.99 - a bit flimsy, but Ok for organising clothes etc in the tent. They stay with out camping stuff so don't get used every day.

Got to say the folding crates are great. Also used to use the hooks on one of those tent organisers to attach it to a coat hanger and madam would put her make up, hair stuff etc in it and hang it from a loop in her inner tent.
