User Reviews of the Columbia 600
By: Juliet Fairlee Reason: I own(ed) one Made in: 2009 Rating:  Date: 29/09/2009
Got this tent in July 2009 as a family tent and used if for the first time in August. The actually weight of the tent and poles is heavy but it went up OK for the first time. The bed space is just for six people but plenty of living space to store bags and everything else. Lots of useful storage pockets inside. As we have have toddles with us we use the porch to put a portable toilet in and it is great. Would recommend this tent to anybody.

A really great tent, with lots of living space! Sleeps up to 6, although I think it was be a squash for 6 and all their luggage. Works great for 2 or 4 people. Massive living area, which is great for wet weather or fine weather (the whole front opens, and so can feel like you're outside). Can choose to have either whole front open, or just the door. We loved the side door with mesh cover to keep the insects out on hot days. Side entrance and porch are very handy in wet weather. Lots of storage pockets make it easy to keep the tent tidy. Easy to erect, although would definitely need 2 people to do it. The tent felt very secure in high winds, and the band system provides extra reassurance. Large window to the front and 2 side windows make the tent really light.

This is a great tent. Lovely space and flexible design - 2 or 3 bedrooms, small or large front opening, two side doors and an enclosed wet-weather side entrance. A comfortable home from home in wet weather, light and spacious. Bad weather - not a problem! In sunny weather, its just like being outside with the front fully open. It is easy to pitch and take down, but I'd buy more substantial pegs!

We took this out for the first time in August. Was initially worried about the weight of the poles when erecting but with one angina ridden adult and a first time 14 year old this went up amazingly easy. Superb tent which performed well on a night of very high winds. No worries about the stability. All parts seemed well made and there were no problems whatsoever. Am looking forward to many nights away in this tent.

Great tent but watch out - there is a retailer trying to sell a Columbia 400 with FIBREGLASS POLES!. Other than that when my new one comes with STEEL POLES I will be delighted - been out once, great tent, enhanced by the porch area - like the cupboard under the stairs - all the things you don't need goes in there. The brow pole was really hard to get in. Recommend buying the carpet - it was luxurious and so nice in bare feet!

This is an amazing tent once erected. However, there are always little niggles that get you and that's when you are trying to put the little pegs into the main frame legs, this can be somewhat difficult, but once these have been put in its a breeze and so large inside. The bedroom areas are large enough, the main can be split into 2 thus creating 3 double bedrooms.

A fantastic tent! We found the enclosed side entrance invaluable in wet conditions, as well as the storm skirt which really helped to keep the bugs out. I also love having the choice of opening up the large porch, or just having half of it open. Good size living area with lots of useful storage pockets. Really easy to put up, with no arguments which is a first! Protex 5000, pack size tent 75x48x37/poles 69x27x11cm.
