TOOLPORT Storage tent 6x12 m PVC 700 N waterproof shelter white

Marquee is for permanent use for members of the public to shelter from the rain or the sun at our visitor attraction The Brickworks Museum at Bursledon near Fareham. Does the job very well and seems resilient to strong winds and torrential rain.

Delivered very quickly with clear instructions and nothing missing. Good strong quality product.

Looked good initially, but last night's strong wind has destroyed it. Despite of it being sheltered in the corner of a garden, covered by 2 fences, each pole fortified by 20-24kg kettlebells, each leg propped up by 3-4 Steel Fencing Pins 1.2M long buried at an angle into the ground and inside metal tent carcass attached to and tightened up against the heavy gym equipment with heavy duty tow rope straps. Tent poles were also attached to the ground with heavy duty, multiple hooks. Results are in the picture. The problem is, when the tent was newer 6 months ago, all these measures worked with it standing strong in heavy storms. Now, the ropes just snapped, it developed tear and wear because the seller won't mention that this tent deteriorates if exposed to wet and cold weather. The user manual clearly states it's not designed for wet/cold weather and needs to be disassembled during the bad weather where rain and frost will damage it. So, 300 quid wasted and of course, it's too big to be removed installed all the time.

This really is a great quality tent in every aspect from the canvas to the poles to the small but important details such as clips that help ensure any joins are waterproof. It’s also very flexible in terms of choosing which panels you put on, roll down or leave up. Easy to assemble (takes me 2 hours on my own but best with a helper). House of Tents are superb too. I had what I am sure is a very rare issue with a part that was undersupplied that they sorted out and sent me UPS the next day. I have plenty of experience erecting scout tents, industrial tents and I know they are often close to £1000 for something this quality. Well worth the investment!

good product but loads of problems with getting the right parts delivered - they fixed the issues but it took time which is the first time I have had issues with products from Germany ... I would not order again
