Gelert large 6 man tent
Please read carefully before bidding!!
This is used and damaged. Sold as seen, no returns!
I bought this tent second hand a few weeks ago – to try out camping with my children. After a successful sleepover in the garden with a huge tent, we wanted to give it a go for real in a tent that I could manage on my own. Hence I bought this one. We tried it last week and decided we are not campers at all!!
It has 2 bedrooms, which clip in on each end.
Middle bit is intended for living area with a door each side. A 3rd door is on one end so you can have just one bedroom and larger living area and 3 doors in use.
Sewn in groundsheet
It has mosquito nets, pockets, porch etc, as far as I can tell all in tact,
Important bit:
I’ve only used it with one bedroom as it was just me and 2 children, one was plenty for us with lots of room, also left all 3 doors accessible to open and a huge living area. this just worked better for us as I was on my own with 2 little ones.
I put this up on my own, it was very simple!
But the poles were brittle and before we left I put up in garden (first few pics) repaired them the best I could with new pieces of pole. Because of this they are now a mix of colours, so do not correspond with the colour coding on tent. However, if I can do it anyone can! It’s 5 elasticated poles, 2 shortest ones go on each end, longest in the middle, and the 2 medium length in between those. Really is that simple.
Also, as you can see in the campsite pic, once we were away and I started putting tent up, the longest middle pole snapped, which was one I hadn’t replaced, (see last pic with the point at top of tent!) I literally put duct tape round it to make do for the weekend which was fine for us at the time but you may want to repair properly. I have a few spare pole bits.
The poles are a mish mash of colours now!
I’m sure it will do someone else a turn, no holes or leaks, big enough to stand in most of the tent.
Lots of pegs and all packs away in a hold-all.
I’m sticking to a caravan from now on!!!
