Images of items I have purchased (except trainers [no feet pics])

We have a similar pump up style 5 man tent and yes, they are easy to erect but taking them down is a different story! They never fit back in the bag unless you get all the air out of the "poles". Get your kids to role on them, that's what I did :D.

I was wondering if it would be like that! Like trying to deflated a paddling pool :D

The pump has a deflate.setting but doubt that gets it all out

Yeah it seems.

This was pre-owned so I should have asked, but I kind of just thought it would be.. smaller :D

Happy though, hopefully we get some good breaks out of it at some point.

I notice the site says "2 seasons" which I assume means it's fine for what we would want, summer camping.. but I wonder if they consider British summer when making these things

Careful, I think your post could cause a fence.

It's worth making sure that the guy lines are sufficiently long to get a stable set-up with it, and that you have suitable pegs/ground anchors for the kind of surface you'll be on. Some tent companies skimp out on those really crucial things and when you're dealing with a tent of that size and design, it could really catch the wind.

Good on you for trying this stuff out with your family; it'll be great fun.

Edit: Another thing to take would be something to help you get the pegs in and out of the ground. I suspect there are a lot for that tent and you're going to hate it if you're pushing them all in by hand/foot and having to pull them all out with your fingers.

I got a car sun brolly off eBay, I already have a big Halfrauds screen one and this works nicely for the sides when parked up
Obviously it's reflective on the other side

Three 'Really Useful Plastic Box's' for my plastic shed. Size 35lt XL. Helps keeps the thing a bit tidier. Shed has had a good test for being waterproof recently and it's fine. It has certainly enabled me to clear a lot of space in the garage and removed nasty inflammables out of there.
