We bought this tent for an incredible £176 from Makro. Despite its size this is a simple tent to pitch. 5 fibreglass poles and you are up.
The 4m x 4m living area is spacious enough for relaxing out of the sun or keeping the kids entertained when its raining cats and dogs. The bedrooms complement this by comfortably (if not officially) accommodating 12 decent sized adults on 3 double air beds. There ARE NOT 4 bedrooms for this tent as described however. The vis-a-vis arrangement is 2 bedroom units with a curtain separating each onto the 4 bedrooms. The curtains can also be mounted in 2 possible positions inside the bedroom to either split it 50/50 or 70/30. The 'wall' in between each bedroom door has something in the region of 12 large storage pockets to put all your nicknacks. Each bedroom has a further 5 pockets inside on a side wall.
Zipped EHU access points into the tent are found on both sides of the tent with further zipped EHU access into each bedroom, which means no need to leave tent or bedroom doors open just to have electricity.
The 5000mm hydrostatic head is more than enough for the UK and was thoroughly tested on our first trip with it to the Lake District.
If there is any downside at all it is the current lack of carpet or footprint for this tent. Being a 2008 model tent I have no idea if there are any planned for this or not.

We've just came back from whit bank holiday weekend and the tent was fantastic. There was only two of us, so we only put one bedroom up. This was the first time we used it and me and my son thought it was easy to erect, easy to take down and with practice,(twice) easy to pack away. There are carpets (which I received after we got back) for the tent, only they are for the new 'Beyond' range. I've bought one 'cause they fit exactly as the meridian range.
Loads of space/height, large windows, full sewn-in groundsheet (so no bugs and draughts) I had a V**** tent with 'bath tub'ground sheet, by the time we got it in place, the tent was full of bugs, so these fully sewn-in ones win hands down. The 5000mm HH should be perfect with our 'lovely' summers. Plenty of space for nik-naks, the doors and windows can be rolled up, on a hot day, for a nice cool breeze and no flys can get in, with the sewn-in fly screens.
Two metal poles are included, to make one of the doors into a canopy. Haven't used it on a very windy day yet,so can't comment. The tent and poles come in separate bags,so it is fairly easy to carry. Would recommended this tent to anyone.

We have just spent our second weekend in this super tent. It requires two people to erect it,but we found it easier the second time. Plenty of room (understatement).Heavy rain, no problem! Used footprint under tent which was a great idea, as when we packed it all up the tent groundsheet was clean and virtually dry. Two sets of porch poles would be nice ,so when the forecast red hot summer arrives, you could hold open both doors and also have some shade.

This is a great tent, we just spent the weekend in it. We have 3 kids and us 2. And it was easily big enough. We have also bought the porch, but haven't tried that yet. Pitching was easy. But requires 2 people. And the guy rope pegs aren't very good and fray the guys ropes quite easily, so the best bet is to buy some more.

Just returned from our first trip with our brand new tent. It is, quite simply. FANTASTIC! It took one adult and two teenagers approximately 45 minutes to erect the first time, without encountering any problems whatsoever. We bought and used the footprint groundsheet which is a godsend when pitching and as a bonus, it keeps the tent's own groundsheet bone-dry.
The tent looks cavernous before the inner tents are up and even with them in place there is soooooo much living space. I am 6ft3 and this is the first time I have ever been able to stand upright in a tent - no more backaches!
The doors, windows and vents are all you could ask for - I really cannot find any faults with this tent. So many campers admired the tent and asked us about it, so clearly I am not the only person impressed!
Breaking camp was easy - the three of us did it in about 35 minutes. The tent comes in two storage bags; one for the outer and one for the inners and poles. The inners and poles bag is easily dealt with, but I defy anybody to get the outer into its bag and then fasten the zip fully. As a previous reviewer said, they must use vacuum packing at the factory! However this is inly a very minor niggle and takes nothing away from the tent's superb specification.
If you are thinking about a large family tent then you should have no hesitation whatsoever in picking the 2010 Meridian 10.

I purchased my Gelert Boyond Meridian 10 last September off Ebay. It came with the footprint groundsheet and the porch, all for a £200 bargain!
We have only been away a few times in it so far. Once during the End of May Bank Holiday. We stayed just outside a wet and windy Aberystwyth. The tent was superb. We had us, 3 kids and one of our friends staying in our tent and there was still loads of room.
One tip for packing away is to leave the doors unzipped and then pushing the ground sheet velcro patches open. Then every time you fold it the air has a chance to escape. It took the 2 of us about 20mins to take down and successfully get it back into its bags.
Absolutely love this tent and we are heading to the South of France with it this summer.

This tent is fantastic! We are a family of 6 (2 adults, 4 kids) who have been camping for many years. We bought our Beyond Meridian 10 in August 2010 as we wanted a larger tent with more living space. We have been delighted with it! As other reviewers have noted, even with the bedrooms in, there is masses of living space - we have had 11 adults sat in large camping chairs, plus a table in the centre section of the tent with plenty of room to spare. This is ideal when it's raining or cold and you need to be inside. We have a corvus 6+2 porch that goes on the front as well - I would say that this is an essential piece of kit - if you don't have a porch or canopy then rain will pour straight into your tent as soon as you unzip the door! The porch also gives us loads of space to store cooking equipment, etc. The tent is very easy to put up - only 5 poles to be inserted and then guy-ropes to peg out. You will need at least 2 people though, simply because of the sheer size of the tent! We have camped in pouring rain and high winds and the tent has withstood it all admirably. I highly recommend the footprint groundsheet too - firstly because it allows you to figure out how much space your tent is going to take up on your pitch BEFORE you actually pitch the tent, and secondly because it keeps the tent groundsheet clean and dry. You will truly appreciate this when you are packing away a tent in the rain and the mud! You can then pack the dirty footprint separately and simply hose it off when you get home - genius! This is definitely the best tent we've ever come across and we would highly recommend it. The only thing you should bear in mind is that it is a very large tent - over 7m long and 6m wide if you add the porch - and this reduces your choice of campsites, as not every site will accept a tent that large. Other than that, it's perfect!

Hi people I have just bought a Meridian 10. We are planning on going away in it soon, I thought I would ask what all the experienced campers think I should buy to help our life in a ten be a little better or more comfortable.I see some people have been talking about a porch where is a good place to buy one and at a good price, also whats the footprint ground sheet and again where is a good place to get one. Please send me and suggestions that you think I should do or I should by to make life that little better while camping.
Many thanks People

This is our fourth tent and we have used it for three holidays now it has taken everything that the Lakes, Dales and Northumberland could throw at it without any problems. It takes us about 1-1.5 hrs to put up with the porch.But is very spacious and has loads of room both headroom and room to eat/sleep. The only niggle we had was that water ran off the top of the tent and inside when you opened the door but the porch seems to have solved this for us and on the new model it now has a small canopy to stop this. Would definitely recommend this tent to anyone who wants a bit of space when they go camping , depending on how many there are of you ( there are four of us in a ten man tent!)but make sure you have plenty of room to transport it ( we now own a trailer).

Fantastic Tent.
We have just returned from a very wet weekend in the Ribble Valley but this tent is the best we have owned.
Totally dry and a doddle to put up.
It took me and the wife no longer than 10 minutes on our first attempt. (this was due to the YouTube video we watched the night before and they did it in under 4 minutes. Putting away was no bother either.
The tent is a ten birth with bedrooms either side in a 3/2 at each end combination. We are a family of 4 so we only put up one end and our room was huge. A double mattress and still about 6'x4' space to dress etc.
The quality of the workmanship puts this tent way ahead of the previous other makes we have owned and I am sure it will last us years. We bought the porch to go with it but as we were only there 2 days we didn't bother putting it up. (we regret we didn't as the rain and mud was biblical) Over all this is a very big good quality tent and my only slight concern is it is very heavy but I will still give it 10 out of 10.
