Cheap tent 2

Post by Sibbo »

I read Grant's yarn about Aldi tents and decided to buy one but by then they'd all sold . :roll: 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 ! :D 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 .

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.

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