Mmickey_w Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 If its just me and my mate going, is it better to get one 4 man tent or two 2 man tents next to each other? What are the pros/cons of each? (I can only think of the fact that you have more privacy alone in a 2 man tent if you wish..) Also, any point in having a 'flag' so you can recognise your tent when stumbling back at drunken o'clock? Or is that just an invitation for someone to piss on your tent, or something along those lines? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supreme Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/9275719.htm this is a good choice for a 4 man tent, is probably cheaper than one 2 man tent aswell.

Bisque Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 2 man tents don't tent to have porches which are handy to keep your wellies in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Hayter88 Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 I took a flag last year and didn't have anyone urinating on my tent. I'd personally get a 4 man tent, extra space to put all your things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG87 Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Get one of the 4 man tents you get with two rooms, and a hall in the middle to keep all your stuff. You have your own room for privacy but basically still are in the same tent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilman Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 4 man if you want socialising area if the weather is pish. It's better for storage too. 2 x 2 man if you want special alone time or if you are lucky enough to pull. Also better if some drunken twat falls into your tent and breaks a pole, or one leaks, you have an emergency back up. Personally I'd take a 4 man and a 2 man but that's just me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmickey_w Posted August 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Alright, thanks. Can someone recommend some relatively cheap 4 man tents with 2 rooms(and a little hall in the middle)? Cheapest i could find was 50 quid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lightning1000 Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 I bought Sheila from go outdoors 5 years ago for £110. She's on her last legs now but has seen me through 11 festivals. If you're planning to go to festivals every year, a good tent is the best investment you can make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG87 Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Yep, that is the risk you take. If that's the one you're thinking of getting, it's fine. I took it last year. Survived the rain. http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/9275719.htm?CMPID=GS001&_$ja=cgid:14507206137|tsid:59130|cid:265006737|lid:18283950120|nw:g|crid:72804846417|rnd:10690529537204657169|dvc:c|adp:1o1|kw: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONTHEBIFF2013 Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Took the same £20 tent from Argos to download this year. It leaked in all 4 corners... Its a good tent as long as you don't get much rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew78 Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 i had a similar one in 2012 and in 2013 and it stood up to that monsoon at leeds,year after i decided to get a 5 man dome which is massive but its fantastic for getting changed in and keeping all your gear in,got a great deal on it....so id say go with the 4 man or bigger if its in your budget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devilman Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 How are you going to breathe? A man that can drink 48 tinnies and 6 litres of spirits in a weekend breathes through his ears. Or he possibly lives under a bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
