Hi there since my last topic about the Rage Vardo 10 tent a few days ago and all the helpful advice i got about the situation, that tent has been returned and refund given due to on closer inspectial there was a whole in the roof of the tent.

anyways I'm now looking for somewhere to get a new tent, I've heard alot abotu zig tents being easy to put up and take down and being very strong aswell, andi'm just wondering where would the best place to get one of these from, cheers guys

By ZIG do you mean zipped in groundsheet? There are various tents that have this option but as far as I am aware this doesn't make a general difference to putting them up and down. Can I suggest that you post your needs and wants here ie how many people camping, for how long and where, do you want a SIG/ZIG or not and an idea of your budget and the suggestions will come flooding in.

Welcome to the forum by the way and glad you got your refund. Tentastic is not the way to go in my opinion.

yes very bad experiance with them and not going there again.

and yes i mean zipped in ground sheets, there will be 3 people going and a dog, so looking for a tent with a minium berth of around 6 as this time there are only 3 going but the tent shall be used for more people either 5 or even 6 people going, each time for a week, the tent must have enough head height due to me being 6ft tall and being the tallest from the groups going, also i have a budget of £300 maxium

I just wrote about the bear lake, but completely missed your budget. So sorry.

I wish I knew of more zig tents but at the moment I don't. I'm sure you'll get some other recommendations from others as well.

Royal do a range of zip groundsheet tents, here
