Tents > Gelert Tents

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

Advantages: value for money, ease of erecting, space, ventilation, weight
Disadvantages: ventilation, mine leaked

I bought this tent from a discount online store. This is a tunnel tent and relies entirely on being properly pegged to stay erect but once it's pitched I found it more stable in the wind than any dome. On my own I can have it up in 5 minutes. The living area is almost the same size as the inner tent and big enough to kneel up in. The tent comfortably sleeps 2 adults and accomodates 2 adults and a small child. The living area sets it apart from any ...
...weather is so unpredictable. You could easily cook and spend a few hours in there without feeling uncomfortable! It's also good for cycling as bikes and luggage can be stored in the front and it only weighs 4.2kg which is a good bit less than similar makes. Inner tent has a lot of vents; good for summer but if it's cold take a warmer sleeing bag. Also, mine had a leak just off the seam in the fly sheet where it looked like the tape hadn't been laid ...

Advantages: easy to put up
Disadvantages: not durable enough

a very good tent, easy to put up, can be done in around 20 mins. can stand up in it so it helps when getting changed. holds six so ideal for a family. but there is one problem - do not use it in strong winds! we went camping, as a family. me, my brother, my mam and dad, my nan and taid. (yes my nan and taid!) so we set up the tent blah blah and to sleep. 3 in the mornin me and my bro were woken up to the tent fallin on us. The pole had buckled ...
...head. We moved to the porch because we couldnt be bothered wake everyone up. When i next woke up my mother was pulling me out from under the tent. The whole tent had collapsed in the wind and rain! so there we all went, nain and taid and all, packing up the stuff from under the tent, in the rain and after a good soaking got in the car and went home. so lets just say not the best camping experience! xx ...

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
