d9d31baf-8e59-4d26-803f-98e617b2bf21

KEY FEATURES

  • Dome/tunnel hybrid tent
  • Traditional pole construction
  • Front porch canopy
  • High and low level ventilation
  • Two cable entry points

PITCHING
Air tents may be in vogue but there’s still room for traditional poles especially when they’re this easy to pitch. Two colour-coded poles cross over to create a central dome and more poles at the front and rear to provide more internal space.

LIVING
The communal living area is surprisingly spacious with plenty of room for a table and chairs as well as some storage furniture. The front door can be used as a large canopy and there’s another mesh backed side door. The PVC windows at the front and side have toggled curtains. For more space, the second bedroom can be dropped and there are a number of small storage pockets.

SLEEPING
The bedrooms at the rear are in a 4+2 set-up, with the larger of the two rooms capable of being divided into two doubles. A large vent at the rear is designed to tackle condensation issues and there’s darkened material to lessen the impact of early morning sunshine.

OUR VIEW
This is a very nice lower priced family tent. The dome shape is a more difficult to pitch than a tunnel but it is strong and stable in difficult conditions. Plenty of storage throughout and the front canopy extend the living space to outdoors. With lots of space inside its comfortable for longer breaks and the two cable entry points are a convenient feature. Mesh doors and large windows mean it’s bright and airy in the summer.
