Excellent
Very happy with this product. Bit tricky erecting by myself but still possible.
The tent was bigger than I thought.
I will have another practice run erecting before going to the campsite.
The tent has been weathered as per instructions.
Can't wait to go on holiday in February.
Happy customer
We were impressed with the quality of the tent, especially the mesh used in the windows and it's construction. It was easy to put up, although we still got a little muddled with the poles.
We "seasoned" the tent and it was completely dry. It will suit our family needs very well.
Also, this is a great company to deal with, excellent communication and the tent arrived when we expected it.
Longevity
Look, all I need to say is that it's lasted 15-20 years & has seen a month or two each year right by the beach. OK, I'll go on: it gets hit by gnarly west coast winds; attacked by salt spray & tonnes of UV light; this year (and other) it got pummelled by rain and dampness. We've finally had to put two patches on (UV damage mainly) but considering the abuse its received, It's done a bloody amazing job.
I came here because I need a second tent the same size but I reckon my current one has a few more years in it. (N. B. apart from the two rips, the rest of the tent is in great shape, like new but twenty years old.)
Photo hopefully shows how close to the beach it sits, survives and thrives.
Great for our family
We love this tent! We're a family of four (two young children) and have been going on our annual camping trip in the Lakeside for over 5 years. We wanted a canvas tent for the height, quality and, let's face it, the style. They look beautiful and will endure.
The Lakeside is perfect because it goes up pretty quickly and we can use the sunroom for storage or shelter. I'm really looking forward to the new awnings though because you can never have too much shade!
Thank you Dwights
