Product Information

That’s why we’ve pulled together this list of key factors for Hi-Gear Vanguard 6 Tent Porch below, to help you choose if it’s the right product for you and your budget. There are however some methods that you can use to determine a product’s quality without needing to physically have it. The weightiest and most expensive tent we tested is also one of the very best. Vango’s excellent Illusion eight-man tent is your best bet if you have a large boot, a large budget and are planning to camp in one spot for a week or two. The tent itself is awesome, at 5.2m x 6m, there is a massive amount of space. It has a great hydrostatic head, the poles are easy, Mark pitched it mostly single handed, with a little help to hold it steady while he pegged it down, and we were pitching for the first time in the rain and it still wasn’t difficult (although with the dog barking like a loony, both of us soaking wet and being surrounded by camper vans that just pulled up and got the kettle on, at the time I swore I hated Mark, the tent and camping in general!) In fact, I would say it takes no longer to pitch than our Outwell Corvette, an airbeam which comes in two pieces.

This tent is also great in terms of accessories available to buy, including a wardrobe that is super easy to clip in and a good quality carpet. The living space isn’t huge but there is good headspace, and the tent was one of the most breathable we tested, with plentiful vents for hot nights. We also found the Buxton easy to pitch, with colour-coded poles making it intuitive to erect.Another factor that can be a great indication of product quality is the brand. Brands like Hi-Gear are of course extremely well known, especially for Canopies, Porches & Extensions. The Luna is the ideal first canvas tent to invest in for annual summer holidays and family festivals. It’s a lovely spacious size for a family of four, with tons of head space and big circular windows, making the inside feel airy and light. If you’re after something a little different, consider investing in a canvas “glamping” style bell tent instead of a polyester one. While they tend to only be water resistant and won’t withstand torrential rain, canvas tents are ideal for hot weather, as they are cool and breathable, and they also tend to be very spacious, with plenty of head height. It’s the ideal option if you’re off on a camping holiday in the Mediterranean or for taking the family to a summer festival. Price – as you’d expect the price of a product can be an instantly recognisable factor on what sort of quality you can expect. Whoever came up with the phrase “you get what you pay for” pretty much hit the nail on the head. Whilst it’s not always the case and there are many bargains to be had, you can as a general rule, expect the higher priced products to offer better quality than a the cheapest option. We’ll dive into the price of Hi-Gear Vanguard 6 Tent Porch in more detail in a moment. The material the product is made from is often a sign of the quality for Canopies, Porches & Extensions. Take a look at the product details over at Go Outdoors to get a feel for this.

We don’t bring it with the Corvette, because the porch area is fantastic but with this one, you’ll be putting any kitchen cupboards in the main tent through necessity not choice – something to bear in mind if there are 8 of you in the tent (maybe skip the wardrobe) There are a few things which are indicative of the bargain price, including cheap toggles on the curtains, an annoying front door which lets the rain pour in when opening if you don’t use the porch awning, and lastly, maybe the biggest bugbear for us, the bedrooms were too short to accommodate our large airbed, as you can see below, but honestly, don’t let that put you off, this is a lot of tent for your money – and in fact probably way too big for two, but hey, welcome to camping with the Bakers…..! Normally we use a spare bedroom for the loo, but it seemed a waste of such a lovely big space so we found a handy spot to the left of the wardrobe for that, instead using the spare bedroom to create a lovely little dark lounge space for our inflatable sofa, footrest and Outwell Kimberley side table. This meant there was a massive space in main living area of the tent, which on this occasion only held our table and chairs, however there’s easily enough space to keep a family entertained here. The tent is also really well ventilated.

That got us thinking though, that we’re looking at every possible item from Hi-Gear so it would be good to narrow our search down even further and only look at Hi-Gear branded products within the Canopies, Porches & Extensions category. The cost of Hi-Gear Canopies, Porches & Extensions If you want a big tent to hit the field, you won’t be disappointed with this one and in our experience, we’ve always found friendly, helpful staff at Go Outdoors, this is a great tent and well worth the money.

To give that price some context we then looked at all of the products available from Go Outdoors in the Canopies, Porches & Extensions category. We found 23 items in total. What’s the price of Canopies, Porches & Extensions? Key specs – Weight: 17kg; Size: 4 man; Material: Polyester; Waterproofing: 4,000mm; Bedrooms: 1 or 2 However, if it’s an airbeam you are after, or you have a bigger budget and are looking for an upgrade tent, we’d recommend heading to Damian at Newquay Camping, or the lovely Mike at Attwoolls, where you will, in our experience, get a wider choice, and still get fabulous service, a warm smile and plenty of help.

The downside to buying online is that you can’t actually get hold of the product to try it out first. What the two bedrooms lose in length, they certainly gain in width, though sleeping 4 in each may be tight. Big family tents are heavy, take up space and can be fiddly to erect, so make sure you’ve got space in the car to store a weighty model. Newer family models are now often inflatable with pumps instead of erected with traditional poles. These “air” tents can be a real time-saver if you have a decent pump. There’s so much information available online when we’re shopping now, that it’s easy to find lots of detail about products like Hi-Gear Vanguard 6 Tent Porch. This is of course really helpful, but there’s almost too much information available, so it’s important to know exactly what you’re looking for.
