Wow I love this tent! We had the 8 with separate groundsheet and no mesh over doors and loved it, then we decided to splash out though nothing was wrong with our original - it's like being in a palace now. Warm, dry, so spacious it's unbelievable. The mesh doors mean lots of fresh air - not so many 'visitors' of the flying sort. We also have the porch extension - brilliant for cooking and for leaving the bike, table, kettle, wet clothes, footballs - you name it you can fit it in. The larger windows in tent make it so light. Cannot wait to camp and tend to get 'homesick' when we return home. A great family tent, I'd recommend it to all.

We have just purchased this years horizon 8 and . Wow gelert have definitely thought long and hard about this one.

We have camped in the Cadiz 7 for the last 3 years and in the mean time we bought a Bourne to use as porch, an oxygen 4 to use as a porch as the Cadiz 7 does not have a porch and wooosh you get soaked opening the door if it is or has been raining.

So hence why we bought the horizon 8, this is a fantastic tent,plenty of room and windows and ventilation. The front door only zips down the sides and not across the bottom which is a bit silly as the only thing covering the bottom securely is the bug screen,this I can only say is the only downside of this design, everything else about the tent is fantastic.

2 Side Entrants

1 End entrance

Vents round the top both sides

Attached canopy over main door

Organisers either side which are very useful

The curtains can be tucked away when not in use in sewn in pockets.

Absolutely brilliant tent.

This is a light, spacious and airy tent which stands up to most weathers. Its pods can be arranged flexibly so you can mix up family members. Ours is a brown and grey combination which makes it dark enough for sleeping either end but light in the middle. Easy to put up but difficult to fit in the supplied bag! My only criticism would be that it lacks an integral 'porch' area.

This is our first family tent and I'm glad to say it did its job admirably. Had to put tent up in pouring rain with a force 10 gale blowing and bearing in mind I had only previously put it up on a sunny day in my back garden where just the tent fits (No room for guy lines or porch),Probably took a couple of hours to fully erect (outer,inner,guys and porch) but I did it by myself with wife and 3 little terrors 6,4 and 2 hindering me all the way.

Tent is nice and versatile,had double room up with one single at the opposite end,plenty of head height loads of pockets to store things,points to hang lanterns etc. As I said earlier we pitched in what seemed like a force 10 and once all the guylines are all pegged in correctly the tent was nice and sturdy which I have to say quite surprised me (used delta pegs)and there were no leaks either. We had the side porch which is really useful for storing shoes, kitchen stuff and cooking in when wet and windy. Had the carpet but not the footprint but will get this as soon as I can afford it, first time camping can be really expensive !great tent highly recommend,shop around and find yourself a bargain!

Being an experienced camper (15 years) & having owned a variety of tents I can honestly say this is the best tent I have ever owned.

Great build quality very very easy to put up ( I have even managed this on my own) & there is bags of room inside.

I'm 6'4' & can jump up & down in it there's that much head room!

There are up to 4 good sized bedrooms & a generous living area which easily accommodates 2 tables & 4 chairs, cooker with stand, cool box & a kitchen tidy!

There are even handy tent tidies that you can attach to the inside the living area & Velcro cut outs for electric hook up cables.

We have used it now about 5 times in sun, wind & rain & it withstands all weathers thrown at it with no leaks or damage at all.

Highly recommend simply brilliant.
