After much research we chose the Gelert Horizon 8 as our first tent. We are a family of 5 and the tent offers fantastic space. We had a trial pitch in our back garden and found it easy to put up and even managed to get it back into the bag when we took it down. We camped for the first time 29/30 May and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Despite heavy rain during the first night we all slept soundly and the tent weathered the storm. Three of us sleep in the large bedroom and two in one of the small bedrooms (which we pack away during the day to expand the living space more and enable the rear door to be opened to air the tent), the other room is used for storage. Really pleased with our purchase and can't wait to go on our next trip.

The Horizon 8 family tent has 3 inners - 2 x 2 man and a further 4 man inner which is divided into 2 by a detachable curtain. The front door can be turned into a porch by using the 2 steel extension poles included in with the family tent. There is also an optional canopy which can be added to give a large porch area.
