Hi , well we got it up !  its quite straight forward if you follow the instructions ... lay it out flat , peg the 2 corners at one end , slide in all the roof poles , then starting at the back ,put in the  leg poles  the pins into the eyelets on the bottom of the flysheet ,worked up a bit of a sweat doing this as the tension s quite tight ,let it lie flat ,once all the poles are in pull the tent from the front  pulling it all straight ,it helps to peg the  guyrope down at the front to help keep it all upright while straightening it all out , then just peg it all down , took us 30 mins from start to finish .

on to the tent , very sturdy tent , plenty of room for a 4 people, large living space but could be better had the bedroom pods been placed along the back of the tent instead of the sides , the bedroom pod nearest the end of the tent has a window opening so you can see outside from the bedroom pod, it has 3 doors ,one at the back ,one on the side , (this one has a mesh screen )and then the front, the whole front of the tent where the porch is zips out so you can have it all open in good weather ,very handy ,because of this the groundsheet along the front is bathtub style so it can be all undone ,the window covers are all attached with toggles ,not zips but all have mesh vents above witch can be opened for ventilation .there are 2 windows on one side ,one at the back ,one on the side the bedroom pods attach,and 2 in the door panel which can be removed.

overall a nice large roomy tent ,seems well made , , easy enough for 2 people to erect, definatly worth the money we paid , not sure about water tightness ,it never rained while we had it up !

 Thanks deb j,cant believe it only took 30 mins thats really good going..probably take us an hour,sounds nice to be able to look outside when in bed,also I assumed the third door would be on the other long side,but sounds quite useful being on the back,nice to be able to take the front right out..we`re gonna need that this summer cos its going to be scorchio.....how come no rain there ,its been peeing down all day here,I could have let you know next weekend about the water tightness,but as its going to be unseasonably fine weather for us wont be able to...

   Have you taken it down...did it go back in the bag ?

Hi evo ,no been very dark and cloudy but no rain here yet but i think its coming , i wanted to leave it up but next door are having the outside of thier house painted so thought we had better take it down or would ve ended up  with paint spots all over it lol

yes it went back in the bag ok but we could nt get the poles in , probably could have if we pulled it all out again and rolled it up tighter but oh was in a bit of a rush because he wanted to watch the newcastle match !

We hoping to get away for the bank holiday weekend ,cant wait now, but since the weathers going to be so good for you next weekend its sure to rain the week after !

Hi, everyone. I bought one of these tents from go outdoors. Ordered Wed evening and delivered Thurs afternoon! Can't beat that for service! Now just dying to put it up. Going to have to sell my Cabanon Espace now! No room! Has anyone any experience of these tents? Can't find out a lot about them on the web.

  update...were back went sunday came back wednesday..tent went up well although I agree with deb j the poles are very tight,hopefully will loosen up a little with use,otherwise it went up really well,I immediatly took my scissors to the bedrooms and cut out the ajoining sides tacked them together and had a nice roomy single bedroom for me oh and dog in basket! much better for our circumstances.

In the cause of research I cancelled my order for bright sunny weather and received rain instead..torrents of it..and thunder and lightning too but the tent was brilliant not a drop anywhere really impressed  

Overall I am so very pleased with it,largest tent we have ever owned,in fact oh kept threatening to take out bedroom and park car in it..sarky git  think it was a great bargain and am looking forward to going away for longer in june,everyone who is going this weekend hope you have great weather and a great time...were gardening... got a lawn to lay...

Evo

ps packed up really quickly and easy and went back in its back without a fight..

Hi evo ,pleased you enjoyed your camping trip  ,and very pleased to hear your tent survived torrents of rain ,hopefully we ll be away this weekend and wont have any rain to test ours lol ,
