It’s a stick-up!

The Argos Small 2 Person Teepee was also on offer at half-price (£24.44). I decreed that it would be a better alternative to the crappy beach-tents that we trash every year, so SWMBO gave the OK to grab one. Just like the Tiger Paws, it's a great little tent for the money. One pole stuck up the middle, 8 pegs (or 16 if you want it fully secure) and a detachable groundsheet make this quite a versatile bit of kit. There's plenty of privacy when closed, and excellent ventilation when open. I can see us getting a fair bit of use from this thing:

 

 

 

Just in case the item disappears from the website, here's a copy of the spec:

  • 1 room.
  • 2 doors and 2 windows. To be fussy, where Argos say "doors", they really mean "entrances".
  • 1 top air vent.
  • 2000mm hydrostatic head.
  • Taped seams.
  • Fire retardant.
  • Tension adjusters.
  • Size 150 x 270 x 270cm.
  • Height at highest point 150cm.
  • Packed size 16 x 16 x 60cm.
  • Weight 3.7kg.
