Hi All,

I am interested in a tent from Go Outdoors but it's not set up on display and would rather see it up first. Could we ask for them to pitch up the tent so we could view it first? Do you think they would do this?

Thanks

I doubt it tbh. If you don't ask you don't get though. Give it a whirl.

You could try looking for a you tube video of the tent you are interested in that may help.

I agree it's worth calling them, to see if they can set one up?
Also try Millets, Blacks, Ultimate Outdoors, if you have any nearby. They're all in cahoots now, and sell the Hi Gear tents.

Ask if they have a nearby branch that has it on display, if you're prepared to travel a little.
