Erection and Pitching
It doesn't take
long at all to pitch - 4 fibre glass poles that snap into place
and then you thread them through, make a hoop and attach the
ring and pins. I can even do it on my own!!! With two it takes
us about 30 mins, including pegging it all out. It can be
erected all in one or you can attach the bedrooms separately if
you wish.

Verdict
I love this
tent. It’s so easy to erect .It has a light airy
quality and ideal for a family of four. You could quite easily
sleep 3 in each pod but with 2 in each it is a lot better.
Plenty of living area to sit in and at over 6 foot tall its tall
enough to stand in too.
The quality isn't wonderful but it’s perfectly adequate and with
delta pegs saw us through a hell of a windy weekend better than
a lot of the other tents on site. It’s a brilliant tent for the
price and well worth it. It’s colours make it stand out on the
campsite so you can't lose it and it also makes it lovely and
light when sitting inside.
We use it for weekends away or if there’s just 2 of us for a
week. It’s great to just throw in the car and drive of at the
last minute and know that when you get there its only going take
you 30 mins to be set up.
