Warehouse tents

[James Deuce]

Astounding Value. $49 in fact.

Bought the lads a "cheapy" 3 "man" Dome tent for Christmas, and just slept though bucketing rain and a thunder storm without floating away.

Decent built in groundsheet, external fly, fibreglass struts that break down and have elastic through the centre so you don't end up with a million little pieces of fibreglass pole, insect screen, a hook in the centre of the tent to hang a lamp, and a handy bag to pack it all up in.

Back when I used to tramp a lot, a tent like this would have been a godsend. It will easily fit a double and single inflatable mattress, and is cheap enough not to cause total meltdown if it falls off a bike rack on the way to a rally.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a tent product rather than the toy I was expecting.

Sounds good apart from the fibreglass struts. They tend to break and puncture the tent in strong winds.

But for $49; who cares? Well kitted tent that'll do most people most of the time.

Inflatable mattress? Looks like you're getting soft in your old age jim...

F*ck that's good buying man......you've gotta wonder how they can produce them and make money on them at that!

Yay for people who'll work for $1 a day.

That sounds quite bad, doesn't it?

Yeah, grandma (MrsO/R) bought the four grand kids a tent each for Christmas, from the "Warehouse" and I thought "Tiu moment", more bloody junk!

The tents have been in constant use, through deluges of rain and battered by wind, they haven't leaked once or fallen down and the kids love them!

What do I think of my flash tent from "Kathmandu" at quadruple cost "on sale", by comparison, I was robbed.

The kids think grandma's tents were the best presents they got! and they got plenty too.

If they crap out now? I agree with Jim2, happy Christmas, Cheers John.

Anyone know what the bigger 6 and 8 person tents are like from the warehouse, was thinking of getting one of those for the family.

[James Deuce]

Same brand, so they'll be sweet.
