![]() Lastly while there is a fair amount of space, the walls are more sloped than on it’s nearest rivals. These have hooks on them and can get snagged on your clothes, gear and other things when going in and out of the tent. Some minor issues are important to note too, such as the holding straps for the door, windows and canopy. Hooks can… hook and snag your gear or clothes This might not be a problem if you’re simply going to take it out of your car but it will still take up a lot of space, and you wouldn’t be able to carry it too far. Given this is a canvas tent this shouldn’t come as any great shock. What We Didn’t Likeįirstly, we noticed that it’s particularly heavy and bulky when it’s packed up. The tent still retains the breathable properties of standard canvas. Furthermore it has been treated by the manufacturer with a ‘weightless water’, essentially a water repellent and mildew protection in one. The cotton canvas of the roof and walls is heavier than that of all the alternatives on the market. Though we only experienced light rain while sleeping out in the White Duck tent we’re confident this tent will perform if the wet stuff really comes down. Generally we found that the tent is never too hot and never too cool. This allows maximum ventilation and helps maintain a pleasant ambient temperature. The large windows and door can also be opened and closed and furthermore the mesh panels can be zipped up to block out the light. This really does seem to work and we also liked the fact that the roof was darker than that of the Kodiak Flex Bow tents which for us let too much light in, especially in the morning. Firstly the thick 12oz cotton canvas roof is silver coated and reflects back much of the heat and harmful UV rays that try to enter the tent. Great temperature control and ventilationĪs with similar canvas tent designs temperature control is a breeze with this tent. This is useful for drying clothes or just for sitting under and enjoying the shade. In summer months the large outdoor awning can also create a storage area and shelter. There are also pocket and roof organizers to make it easier to store your small items. There are O-rings all round the tent, for hanging your clothes and lanterns from, or perhaps for running a string of LED lights through. One of the things that we really liked about this tent is that there’s a lot of options for storing your gear. Ideally with room for a table, chairs, a heater to operate and for a decent sized cooler. Personally we prefer a smaller group in a tent where we can enjoy lots of space. On paper it’s a 6 person tent, but could sleep up to 8 if you’re willing to get really cozy. There’s plenty of space to move around and for storage of gear. Once the main frame is up secure the tent to the floor with the supplied stakes and excellent, easy to replace shock cord loops. However given the thicker cotton canvas of the White Duck the resulting increased weight makes it an easier task for 2. An easier task for 2Īs with those models you can set the White Duck up on your own. If you’ve put those up then this won’t be a problem. The frame design is very similar to that of the popular Kodiak Flex Bow and Springbar Highline canvas cabin tents. The tent is pretty straightforward to set up, which is always useful when you’re on a family camping trip. After camping in this tent for a couple of nights we’d like to share our thoughts about who it’s suitable for and what’s good and what’s not. If you’re looking for a large tent that’s suitable for all seasons, the White Duck Outdoors 4 Season Tent is one of the options that you should consider. White Duck Outdoors 4 Season Canvas Camping Tent We’ve reviewed bell tents from White Duck Outdoors before but never a cabin tent until now. ![]() If you’re not someone who lets changes in the weather put you off camping, you need a 4 season tent that will offer you suitable shelter all year. But many people want to go camping all year round. Some tents are only suitable for 1 or 2 seasons of the year. The second option often makes sense for families or just for groups who prefer to stick close to each other.Īnother vital tent buying consideration is the seasonal use you plan on. When you’re camping as a group, you could split up into two or three tents or you can get a tent that’s large enough for all of you.
