yes hopefully my health will allow me to get out on the bank and use mine this summer
but !!!!!
I have however put it up and down in my garden 5 or 6 times as when I bought it when they first came out
and there wasnt a groundsheet made for it at that time
so I put a sheet down erected it and drew around and cut out a groundsheet then as I had used a bit of a heavy sheet I bought a much lighter sheet and did it again
and then the bstds bought out a groundsheet lol
any way I have bought a pair of the excellent Cygnet Slimline Storm Poles as they are so light and can be left on all the time if I want
( so again put it up and down with and without them )
there is no question I CAN EASILY put it up and down faster than my previous tempest
not that it matter at all
as I go fishing for pleasure to chill and relax unless its pissing down I dont give a flying how long it takes
same as a cuppa I actually love using my trangia takes a while to boil but who cares ?? some people really need to take a chill pill and learn to be laid back

100t with infill panel is near double the price of the Solar though, and nearly 3 times if you got the solar for £135.
Does sound like there are some duds around as mine has none of the issues posted in here.

Did anyone manage to find a mozzi mesh that is a decent fit on the undercover? Got eaten last night despite layers of incognito, there were hundreds of them on the inside of the brolly this morning.

Yea, I use both the cream and the spray as the lake I fish can be pretty bad. Don't like having a front on a shelter unless the weather is awful and usually get away with it with incognito. I'm aware it needs reapplying, I was up twice in the night spreading it on and only in bed 6 hours, last night they were out to get me!
Thanks for the links, but both of those look like you need a front rib to attach to. I was hoping for one that hooks over the bell cap. I know the ESP one does this but apparently it's too small for the Undercover.

Taken a punt on the Abode 60" brolly mesh on eBay.

Sorry to seem dim however, is this post aimed at the 60" undercover brolly ?
Tackle UK have them at £54.99 and I was going to get one.

They have the undercover 60 inch brolly for £54.99 but no mozzy mesh for the brolly system. I'm not sure that there is one for it sadly hence trying to find a best fit

I believe this thread discusses the undercover brolly system rather than the 60” with no sides. I bought one when they were going cheap and now use it all the time over a 100T. It's lighter and just as quick to go up.
I've had no issues putting it up or down. Not sure what other people expect from a simple brolly, but this one suits me fine.

Correct and I agree with you. The only complaint I have about this brolly is the lack of a mozzy mesh front. If that was offered in my opinion it would be a perfect brolly system

I'll let you know how well the Abode one fits. I've never bothered with a mozzi mesh before, my blood must be getting sweeter the older I get.

Thank you for clarifying that, I only want a simple brolly.

The Abode one works out ok. Not a perfect fit, but it hooks over the cap and covers the front down to the ground. Decent mesh and comes with a needless amount of pegs.
