It’s made from a hard-wearing woven polyester recycled from 100% plastic bottles – a trend we love seeing in outdoor equipment – that’s also Global Recycled Standard certified so, in theory, it can be turned into more tents at the end of its life. Our only complaint is that the size isn’t quite as large as the name suggests, although there’s plenty of space for six adults, camping chairs, and a table, you’ll struggle to sit ten comfortably. It is a little expensive, but considering the usable space, the durable design, and the fact it utilises Vango’s superb 3,000mm HH waterproof Sentinel Eco fabric – made from recycled single-use plastics – you get plenty for your money. Key specs – Main material: Weathershield Redux polyester; Weight: 8.5kg (approx); Dimensions: 230 x 230cm; Height: 230cm

Can you sleep in Berghaus Air Shelter? This is a question I see asked by people. So this is related to its best use and area. You have 97 ft² (9 m²), so there is plenty of space for 4 people with camping chairs, and a small camping table. The fabric: They claim this is a premium polyester but there is no information about its denier value. However, the official waterproof rating of 6000 mm is truly impressive. The seams are taped. Regarding the area& best use, I would describe it as a medium sized scree house. It is big enough to be placed above most of the picnic tables in the parks. The picture below gives you some idea about its size when sitting on the ground, this is enough space for 4-5 people. Enough space for 4-5 people. As usual, it is always good to compare. So the size is similar to the Sierra Designs Outdoor Magnetic Screenhouse bit the shape here is square. It is larger than the CAMPROS Screen House Room. Key specs – Main material: Sentinel Eco recycled polyester; Weight: 12.9kg; Dimensions: 350 x 350cm; Pitch time: 8mins; Height: 225cmIt comes with a pump as standard, but there are also plenty of practical accessories available, including zip-on side panels, soft carpet, a tent insert, and a weight bag for pitching on hard surfaces. It’s expensive, but we’ve not found many designs better than this. The walls are mainly mesh, but there are lager taffeta areas in the corners, they cover the mentioned A-frames. The previously mentioned two panels you can attach on any of the four sides.

If you’re camping, or wild camping, alone and are just looking for a simple rain shelter, then a small tarp that’s close to the ground is a much lighter and easier-to-erect option. Like a good tent, the best gazebos should have plenty of room for happy campers or guests. They should have a waterproof outer layer to keep the elements at bay and, if necessary, a design that doesn’t sacrifice airiness or breathability when zipped up. But, unlike big, bulky tents, gazebos should be lightweight and not take up much storage space, so that they’re a great way to expand your camp without needing to lug around heavy equipment.

The best gazebos you can buy in 2023

If you’ve ever struggled with assembling domed gazebos, you’ll find this a refreshingly easy pitch, although the tunnel design does still make it a two-person job. The fabric: The shell is a polyester with an impressive 6000 mm waterproof rating. This is more that you have in most of the family camping tents on the market. The fabric is fully fire-retardant and tested to the European EN 5912 safety standard. If you’re keen to use your gazebo as somewhere to escape the sun, or to relax as a group, then a domed design will be perfect. Look for an easy-to-pitch gazebo with four poles and plenty of guy ropes, pegs and straps for stability, as gazebos can easily come loose in strong winds. The metal components should ideally be made of stainless steel or aluminium. So this is a dome structure as its name suggests, and it is tall with its 86.6 inches (220 cm) peak height.It can be described as freestanding and the structure is quite unique. It has A-frame poles in each corner, and there are also eave loops that go from one corner to another, plus the roof poles. Regarding the weight, it is considerably heavier than most of its competitors. But this is because of its strong and stable frame which I described above. This is a camping shelter so it is not built to be carried far from the car.
