I read Grant's yarn about Aldi tents and decided to buy one but by then they'd all sold . Typical .Anyway I watched Ebay and a couple of weeks ago along came one someone didn't want. Used once but I couldn't even find any dirt on the tent pegs. Very clean.
$32 post paid ! It's great, big enough for me, moderately well made and actually waterproof. I put it up just before a heavy downpour last week .20mm in an hour or so .Not a drop inside !
Now I have to make up a decent bag for it ...it's the same old story .The damn things come out of their factory supplied bag OK but getting them back in is a trial. I have some canvas lying around so that will do nicely. A bit of a contrast to blinding yellow .

Re: Cheap tent 2
With a little practice you will figure out how to get it back in and have a smaller package.
You can do this. Tent looks good!
BTW your zipper's undone.

Although labeled "Motorcycle Rainwear", technically it is "Scooter Rainwear" and therefore not available to ZM.SteveD wrote:A tent for ZM maybe? He can even take a private dump in it...

Looks good for dumping in. Stability in wind....not so much.
