Ah sorry, I misunderstood what you meant by letterbox, now I see. I'm not sure it has this, but will have to wait and see. Right enough it would be good if it does.

Then you can open the door from the top and leave 20cm sealed,off at thr bottom. Just be careful
Not to trip over it when going in and out.

I think it does. Double sided stick on velcro sounds like the way to go. Sometime in early spring i will pitch it, guage what i have, then decide what i could do with it.

Use double sided stick on velcro I suppose. Does the door letterbox down from the top?

Just found this clip, makes it look super easy to assemble: https://youtu.be/6lvImV8TpII
In this clip it appears the entire front of the groundsheet is not zipped in, i was hoping it was just the door area.

Excellent.
It is Kknee deep in snow here just now so looks like it will be a while before i can put it up out back to take a look at it.

You will be delighted. They are nothing like a pole threading coleman tent.

If i can get it up in 20 minutes i will be a happy man. Last year i bought a Coleman 6 man tent for family camping trips. It takes me and the wife the best part of an hour to erect, making it no good for 1 night trips. Its a bit of a beast to be fair, weighing in at 25kg.

Yes i think you are correct, i just clocked it near the very end of the film. Once closed i could always lay something up against the overflap to give it some sturdiness.

Yes, the poles are connected via elaistic and stay permanently threaded into the tent. It will be physically easy to set up alone. Having 4 ribs including peak with at least 5 sections each rib, plus about 8 support poles. It is not going to go up in 30 seconds like a tempest brolly.
Probably About 20 minutes including zipping in groundsheet and pegging out

From what I see in the video, the groundsheet has a high flap at the front.

Yes, i have thanks, i watched it over several times before making my decision to buy it. I really like the fact it has integrated poles, it appears this makes it easier to erect, deconstruct.
My one little gripe is the zipped in groundsheet does not cover the front door section, so this area is essentially open at the bottom. I figured this out from translating the Amzon.de reviews. One of the places i fish has quite a few snakes and weasels. Another place i fish has quite a few rats, at night they scurry around the platforms - I guess they probably feast on any dropped groundbait, pellets and boilies? I will need to try and figure something out to close the front door section off to stop any would be intruders getting in. I'll sleep better at night then lol

Thanks everyone who offered some input here. I have just gone ahead an ordered the Lucx Leopard 1-3 man bivvy. It is on promotion this week at 269 euro, next week it goes back up to 300 euro, so i took the opportunity to grab it now. It is over my original budget, but it has all of the features i am looking for: plenty of internal space, near enough standing head height, mosquito nets front back and sides, zipped in ground sheet, and it "appears" it should not be too difficult for one man to construct - i hope.
I can see the manufacturer Lucx is a new company, they seem to get good reviews, as does the Leopard bivvy, so hopefully i have made the right choice.
It will be May or June i think before i get a chance to test it. If anyone is interested i can post some feedback on it then.
