This an update of my review of this tent.Went away with tent for 4 days and the list of issues was terrible, stitching coming undone, seams were glued and peeling.The rain came through part of the roof of tent,only rained for 2hrs.More elastic snapped and poles are splitting.I am in process of returning to supplier.

Recently purchased the tent and canopy in the sale.Used tent this weekend.Fantastic size and lots of space for family of 5.Could easy put 10 people in there with still space to sit.Took me 1 hr to put up including canopy.( will get that down). Windows in tent are brill ,letting good light in,fly mesh on main doors is great as you can just zip this up and let loads of air in and keep bugs out. Good at night especially with the canopy up.Bit disappointed that two of the poles were broke (owner on site had spare) and the zip on one of the door has come apart (can be fixed). Have emailed firm to see what there are going to do about it.All in all a great tent .

After our Coleman 6 Deluxe got killed in severe gales earlier this year we had a look round for another tent and this was one that was on my shortlist of 3.For the size I thought the price was excellent.

We were still undecided but after flicking through ebay saw one for sale ex-demo got it at a bargain price.

Put it up in my sisters paddock took about 20 mins.So much easier than our other one.Ring and pin system with half sleeves for the poles and two clips to attach the tent sides.

I love the space we have one room for all four of us to sleep.However you could easily get another person in as well!We unclip half the other sleeping pod and use the space as a dining area.The other part we use as a walk in wardrobe/dressing area.

There is still room for chairs and I also cooked inside.

I love the mesh on both doors as it cuts out flying insects inside whilst getting a bit of air circulation.One of the four windows also has a mesh vent at the top.There are also three vents either end of the tent that you can open or close with velcro.

Three windows (two of which are on the doors) have a full length curtain which you can have half way down or all the way and has a storage pocket at the bottom.The fourth window with the mesh at the top is acsessed by two zips on the outside.

The groundsheet is sewn in and the bottom near the doors is a good height from the ground with velcro on to keep the doors shut.

We went camping last week and low and behold got the backlash off Hurricaine Isaac I think!Out of twenty odd tents in our field only about five survived.We survived apart from a little water coming in in two corners.We put this down to the fact that the tent has never been weathered and the rain was being driven at about 40 mph constantly for about 8 hours solid!

We had a couple of little showers after that and didn`t have a drop inside.

I would recommend this tent we love it.It`s classed as an 8 birth but there is room for an extra person each side.We are a family of four and its like a mansion to us.
