Bell tent 4m or 5m?

[Longagoandfaraway]

Very excitingly we have decided to abandon our cathedral-like outwell Hartford xl in favour of a beautiful bell tent but just not sure whether to go for the 4m or 5m? Is 5m much bigger or will 4 be big enough - there are 4 of us. Thanks!

There is a seller on eBay called wenkatents who has thick canvas tarps, he is in Germany so it's £15postage but even with that they are a real bargain, make him an offer on them, i did. I had a tent wing before which was ok but didnt give much rain protection but my new one is so much better quality and much bigger. It is lovely, I put my canvas windbreaks on either side to have a nice sheltered seating area/cooking area. You do need a pole and some guy ropes as well.

Eeek! Could I please ask why you have decided to abandon your Hartford? We have just ordered one, end of season mega deal, so hard to resist. We are a family of 5, 2 older children and 1 toddler. Lou
