    That sounds quite bad, doesn't it?
    Friggen unions destroyed the right to that over here. But they keep on immigrating anyway.

    CB and I have used two of those tents, bought the second one 'cos it has a vestibule. (A place to leave boots and other gear ya don't want inside the tent)
    No troubles at all. (Dunno where the 'broken fibreglass poles' story came from)

    Top tent, complimented by using Warehouse self-inflating matresses.

    This has been an interesting and informative thread.

    I used to buy Macpac and Fairydown outdoor gear, I didn't want weather/structural problems in a storm in the wee small hours. Having read this, and thinking of a bigger tent, I may have to look at TWH.

    Thanks

    There is also a massive dome tent at Payless Plastics for $500 or so... Great family size with room to spare. Didn't know what to think of a "Payless Plastics" tent... but it looks like a good deal!!! We got one...

    Never had any weather problems - just make sure you have your back to the weather, structural problems? - if you're out in the open strong wind can turn your tent concave temporarily so best to be downwind of shelter.

    Not available in Wellington City Warehouse! I got the triangle tent for $30 before Xmas - and it was fantastic - it rained heavy once for about an hour - tent held up fine - I also put a tarp over the top which kept off heavy dew. But a dome tent would be better for my height - I sit on my airbed in mine and the tent is not high enough!!

    Airbeds are a definite must and make camping possible and very comfortable these days!!

    Goddammit, Jim, you jammy bastard.

    Me and my $500 (and that was a 'half price sale') Kathmandu tent will be sulking in the corner with what remains of our middle-class dignity.

    My $49 Warehouse tent (same price in 2001) survived 2 Cold Kiwis (with inflatable mattress) and sundry other outings with no drama at all - lack of a vestibule was a slight niggle, but, for the price, I weren't complaining! And easy to strap onto the bikie - the mattress was bulkier!
