You have to be quite regimented when putting this up and use the guiding rope ensuring your distances are correct. Coleman use the latest technology and a rigorous testing regime to ensure that we keep you protected at all times - whatever the weather. Steel Poles: The Shelter's structure is constrcuted from several 19mm steel poles - these are incredibly sturdy and hardwearing, they offer increased strength for large shelters. Easy-to-Assemble: The Coleman Event Shelter can be pitched in a matter of minutes, it comes with detailed instructions and you can even watch video above if you're still unsure how to erect it.

It provides good shade for the kids (we have a wall that we move accordingly), and has saved at least one weekend of solid rain that would otherwise have been a wash out.

Camping where your car is next to the tent and no issues, camping at a festival and you’d have to be inventive as to how to get it from car park to field but it would be doable and very handy so worth the effort!

The Simple and Solid Design of the original Coleman® Event Shelter Performance M is fully waterproof with a 3000mm H/H. Constructed from a central cross section and four curving arches, the Coleman Event Shelter, once up, is far more rigid and secure than your average tent - even tents from Coleman themselves. If you are on a personal connection, like at home, you can run an anti-virus scan on your device to make sure it is not infected with malware. Initially we tied a small tarpaulin over the top which helped to reduce the glare and increase the shade but it was too small.We have just bought two sides for ours so that we can move them to where we need them and still be ‘outside’.
