I got myself one of the brollies. Pretty annoying not able to use it as a letter box door. I had ordered one of these zip repair kits to try something on my tempest. Fitted it to the Wychwood brolly an now have a letter box door.

Works very well, not as good if it had been factory fitted but happy with the result.

Totally agree with your review, used mine for the first time few weekends ago and can't fault it. Plenty of room, not too low and keep me nice and dry.

Haven't tried the fronts yet but they look good too.

Just did a 48 hour on the sloping bank of the River Trent had 2 hours of torrential rain so good test it passed with flying colours
sooo much more room than the 50" compact it replaced the flatter back means the bed can go right back
it does not look it but its on a bit of a sloping bank hence the front compact bedchair legs extended the groundsheet has a really clever toggle system so much better than the velcro AND the lovely wide doorway on the zip on front is perfect


LOVING THIS WIDE DOORWAY JUST PERFECT

FOR BARRY AND FOR ANYONE ELSE THAT WANTS TO KNOW THE IS THE FRONT DOORWAY SUPPRT BAR CORNER FIXING SIMPLY CLIPS OVER THE FRONT RIBS

Its a doorway support bar
If you sit on your bed the door way has 3 ribs the bar hooks over the left and right doorway ribs the centre doorway has a clip that clips over the centre of the doorway support bar if you still don't get iter me know and will take some pictures and post when I get home mate
But I'm loving this shelter

Loved it. I had it on its lowest pegging points and could comfortably sit on my bed, probably could have got my bed buddy chair in there as well, would have easily fitted on the higher pegging points.

And ill be ****ed if I can work out where that bloody bar goes

on the 2 ribs at the front supports the little peak bit and it can only go round one way though bit hard to get on the first time
it took me a while to figure out lol
lots of coverage isnt there ? I was initially worried about it being low but tried it in the garden and it seems fine roll on Tomorrow night my first session a 48 hour up on the Mighty River Trent

Where does that support bar go?
