tent sales

[puppydavies]

when's the best time to get a knock-down tent? i know there are sales on at the moment - is that the best price we'll get or is it worth waiting a month or so (need something by mid-sept)? do online places have their sales at the same time as bricks&mortar shops?

Try Halfords they are selling off decent quality tents

i think i saw someone selling tents at half price. think it may have been argos.

get it now, if the weather warms up the prices will be back up pronto!

We normally by post season (and buy last eyasr colours- such an easy way to get a discount)

Do try ebay, many tents sellers on there are well known- eg outdoor megastore- and loads of people are swearing never again after one wet weekend atm

It depends on what you want as well. Argos tents are THE BEST imo for starters- if youre not sure why spend £300+ on a tent? We did that and just upgrade when we could. Next step up is something good and barely used- always a good idea, lots of peole (mum is doing this atm with her Cyclone) use their tent once and decide they need something else (mum's is way too huge for 2 lol)


tent shops and new are imo for people who know what they're after and know they will get lots of use- too much too blow otherwise

thanks everyone. have been scouring so many bloody websites i dreamt about tents last night...

we're pretty sure what we're looking for peachy, just not sure it exists . we're committed campers but looking for a weekend tent that doesn't take up half the bloody boot or take 2 people to lift.

I bet if you post the spec on here someone'll know it if it exists, some of us are erm, a bit sad in that department
