Hi again, Having now been away in our tent we can safely say its definitely worth the money and then some!
It withstood heavy rain pours and huge gusts of wind on numerous days. Other tents were buckling and ripping all around us but ours stood tall! As feared it rained to bring the tent back down and was very windy which tried to turn it into a huge parachute but we got it down in the end. The bag it comes in definitely could do with being bigger as its hard work to get it back in there. Hope my review helps someone else make a good decision!

As below. Bit tricky putting up the dome but after thats up its a piece of cake. Used it when raining hard and wind blowing a gale. Tent stayed dry and nothing the wind threw at it had any effect. Great buy .

Hi campers, just thought I'd leave a note to say I've just purchased one of these and erected it at the weekend. The main dome is a challenge to put up but after that its a doddle with colour coded poles and sleeves to thread them through! It is very light inside and has ample of room for yours and everyone elses family! There are lots of ventilation points and windows. Both of the main doors have fly screens so no worries about bugs. The inner tents will fit our queen size airbed no problem. Haven't been out in it yet but will be in a couple of weeks so I will fill you in then! I would definitely advise getting a footprint though (if you can, I have to look into this myself) as you could end up very dirty when packing it back away. The 2 bags it comes in could have been more evenly weighted! 1 being 17kg the other 30ish kg. All in all as I had only seen it on the net I was very impressed when I saw it in real life!

Manufacturer's Description
Although not having the brand cache of an Outwell Hartford or a Vango Killington, the Gelert Zenith's certainly tick all the boxes when it comes to quality and price point. The Zenith has a fully sewn-in groundsheet for a sealed internal environment (Howard Hughes had one) and an external fibreglass frame to allow for flysheet first pitching. The fire retardant polyester flysheet offers 5000mm hydrostatic head protection. The other major features of these tents are the skylights, multiple windows and hanging tent organiser pockets. The Zenith 8 features 4 large 2-berth bedrooms, although at 200cm wide and 230cm deep, they could accommodate 3 per bedroom, if required. The Zenith 8 features a large 'J' porch doorway and a second, smaller 'J' door at the rear of the living space.
Other features include: Welded and reinforced polyethylene groundsheet; water repellent zips; electric cable access point; multiple ventilation points; pre-attached hi-viz guylines; 'slick sleeves' for easy pole threading; breathable polyester inner tents; 16mm, 12.7mm and 11mm fibreglass poles plus 2 steel porch poles.
Weight: 17.2kg (flysheet); 30.8kg (poles and inners) Pack Size: 71x40x33cm (flysheet); 71x31x27cm (poles and inners) Dimensions: (Outer) 805x505cm Height: (Inner) 215cm Colour: Fir Green/Frosted Green
