Coleman 169968 Event Shelter Pro tent meerkleurig XL

This is my second shelter-which isn't a good start to any review but the first one lasted years and ended its days in a force 9 gale on a festival site where the poor perished cover finally completely shredded and I really had to quit mending it. I truly got my money's worth out of it. I priced up a replacement awning but decided to go for a smaller version this time even tho I still have all the poles in fine condition from my first one. Shrug. It was the right decision. I don't regret it for a second.I erected the shelter on my own and fair enough I've had lots of experience, but bear in mind I'm mid sixties, female and get my hips replaced end of this week (🤞) so not 100% mobile. I worked slowly in limited space and had the thing up in less than half an hour from unboxing. Unfortunately I omitted to guy it so almost lost it ystrdy in an epic gust, but I shall stake it down today so that my neighbour doesn't acquire a new garden feature next time it gets windy.The 3m size is much more appropriate for my garden space and no different to put up. I totally love these shelters; they are portable if a tad on the heavy side, easy to put up n down, totally adjustable, exceptionally well made and sturdy. I understand the cover is now coated in an improved screen which should lengthen it's life; time will tell.We had rain and none got through though there has been some condensation in the morning. I have side panels too but we cobbed up an old tarp on my last shelter which worked fine. I saw other folks with bbqs underneath but Coleman don't recommend that and I've personally not done it. I don't want to incinerate my poor shelter...It looks too darn good. Let's not forget to mention that.I was fortunate enough to find a bargain (I do love a bargain) but I had to wait a few weeks on delivery probably due to pandemic issues which I'm not quibbling.This is my first choice of shelter and I highly recommend this particular design as easy and user friendly. However. If you are a klutz and get yer skin caught in the metal poles while slotting them together (they're internally chained together to make it easy for you) then there's no helping you. Coleman have made this so simple- just add a modicum of common sense and job's done.Happy camping ☮️
