I bought a "Grey 2 m x 3 m (6.5 ft x 9.5 ft) 150 GSM Tarpaulin Ground Sheet"
simply lay it flat erect the shelter draw around with a felt tip cut it out perfect tailor made
the 150gsm is fairly lightweight but you can of course get a more heavy duty version
VERY CHEEP

With this having the 2 extra rib extensions does this do away with needing storm poles at the sides?.

Nope, still needs storm poles, the ones in there just hold the shape, they aren't weight bearing

Just had this up in the garden. What's with the extra bit that flips round on the storm poles?.

I did. It don't show you about that bit on the storm stick being for the front support pole.
Edit. My bad, yes it does

I'm 6”4 and set my bed fairly high but my head doesn't touch the spokes at all. The whole system tilts back further than most which gives more headroom but less depth. The flat back works really well and rolled up with the front on fits into most quivers. The thinking tackle quiver is a brolly only size I think. The material is excellent and breathable if not a little delicate and can suffer from pin holes at the stitching apparently but I've not had this issue myself. I made a groundsheet from pond liner. I used mine all last season with no probs. I paid £225 with front. Excellent value at £175 👍

Anymore reviews on these ? Looking for a lightweight shelter for overnights with a front just in case.

I have one and it's very good. Not as heavy as advertised, good quality material and plenty of space. Only done the odd night so far but have a 3 day session this weekend and will be using it then so will see how it goes, but see no reason for it to not do the job perfectly. Note, I've yet to put the door on or use the groundsheet I managed to get for it

How is everyone finding this brolly?
