Cheap tent 2
Posted: Wed Nov 16, 2011 4:46 am
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 .

How did you find that ?!? All it needs is internal pressurisation !
