Wenzel Grand Lodge

The Grand Lodge is designed to give maximum living space but retain a reasonable footprint. This ensures you can fit onto a standard pitch - not restricting your choice as some larger tents do.

Set up is surprisingly easy. 1 person - that's right - a single adult, can pitch this tent easily. No individual parts are too big or heavy to handle comfortably.

The layout is basic with 2 rooms but it makes for easy pitching, access and useage.

Full standing height is obviously a feature of this tent making it truly a home away from home.

The ceiling is predominantly mesh with a removable rainfly so airflow is great - the tent doesn't get stuffy even in direct sunshine. This does however mean heat loss can be considerable if the temperatures drop too low. Read the user reviews to help with this.

They have used weather armour fabric and extra repellent applications to zips and seams but it appears that you must still seal the seams against heavy rain!

The usual Wenzel welded tub floor works a treat at keeping water out of your floor. Much better than the sewn type.

Doesn't keep heat in very well if the temperature drops.

Rain fly collecting rain and collapsing under the weight. Make sure you peg the rain fly out seperately from the support poles so the water drains straight off and doesn't build up.

I couldn't believe how easy this tent was to put up on my own whilst my husband kept the kids occupied.

Close to a tornado with 60mph winds and 3" rain, this tent held up strong and dry!

Extremely spacious and plenty of head room even for my 6'4" husband.

We got cold when the temperature fell to 37 so we bought a sheet and spread it over the mesh roof, beneath the rain fly. Also got a heater. That did the trick so now we'll get some velcro for the sheet to use it when cold.

I love this tent and would recomment it to anyone.
