Air tent or steel poles??

We went camping last year and the wind got up. A couple of our poles snapped so we are now looking for something more sturdy. Me, DH and 2 Dcs. Also a dog. Can anyone recommend a tent to us?

Loads of space and so easy to pitch!!

We recently bought an air tent. We were umm-Ing and ah-ing about air vs pole. The advice we received is the air tents are incredibly durable and if - worst case - one of the inner tubes gets damage, most tents will include a spare and are v easy to replace.

Poles on the other hand are often specific to location in the tent, not generic and therefore it can be hard -impossible- to replace a single pole.

We got the air go horizon 6 from Go Outdoors. I love it.

Thank you. We had looked at the air go horizon. Think we will go for that.
