Tents > Gelert Tents

Advantages: Lightweight, Easy to Erect, Great Value
Disadvantages: Porch uncovered when front door open

I bought this tent for a 2 night stay for just myself to use. I bought it from Go Outdoors for just £25 although other websites and shops sell them at a little more than this, most of them retail at around £35. First of all it comes in a neat little carry bag which took up hardly any room at all in my car!!! I decided not to attempt putting up the tent before i went away as i normally do so i have some idea of how it goes together!! I decided it ...
...right, it was easy to put up and didn't take long at all. For a two man tent it has a good sized storage area or porch at the front. The ground sheet in the porch is also sewn in which saves extra faffing once the tent is up. I could easily lie down in the tent and another person would easily have fitted in there with me too. It rained both nights i camped in the tent and it didn't leak or anything which is always a good sign!! It was quick and ... Read review

...whihc holds a decent manufacturer name on the front, this is quite a reasonable price. Going one step further, and looking at a Vango tent, which are considered to be the Creme de la Creme of the camping world, you are looking at starting prices of around £90, which for the occasional camper like my self, who is only really planning on using it for a couple of days per year, is rather expensive. Unless you are planning on climbing everest in the ... Read review

Advantages: Loads of room, easy to put up, windproof, water proof, can stand up in it
Disadvantages: heavy when in carry bag

Me and my boyfriend went away alot camping, we'd had a few tents but once we got the dog we wanted more space. So we sold our old tent and hunted for another. We decided on the Utah 4 + 4 because of the size. It is around £230 in shops but we managed to get one that had been on show off ebay for £160. We recieved the tent and put it up in my parents back garden. It was huge, there was so much space inside and plenty of windows to let light in. There ...
...You could stand up everywhere in the tent which was brilliant. We actually went camping in it one weekend, we pulled upto the campsite and suddenly realised you had to carry the tent to wherever you camped (everywhere we'd been in the past you could park next to your pitch!!). We were pitched across the first field and down a hill, it took the two of us to carry the tent in its carry bag, it was so heavy! It was easy to put up too, i don't think ... Read review

Advantages: Good size, Weather Proof, Easy to put up
Disadvantages: Not sure enough space for whole family on a long camping trip

Me and my boyfriend got this tent for our weeks camping trip in north wales. The tent was extremely well priced, i guess because time was taken to shop around for the best price. It was just over £80 which i thought was excellent for the product you get. The tent comes in a 3 -in-1 carry bag, with the two inner bits in one compartment, the outer tent in another compartment and the pegs, poles and repair kit in the little on in the middle. (I thought ...
...was quite good!) When the tent is in it's carry bag it is easy to carry and not particularly heavy. Previous to our camping trip i got all the bits of the tent out and had a read of the assembly instructions. I just wanted to make sure i knew where all the poles went as the inner 4 person bedroom had to go first and i wanted to be able to do it quickly if it was raining so it didnt get too wet. It all seemed fairly straight forward. Putting the ... Read review
