Skandika Daytona 6 Person/Man Dome Family Camping Tent with 3 Sleeping Cabins, 3000 mm Water Column, 195 cm Peak Height & Sun Canopy

It's a cheap tent. As another reviewer wrote it's really a 3 man tent as the inner canopies droop. For a family of 5 it is really too small, especially if using air beds. The central area is almost unusable as it is full of bags and stuff. The pods are a bit too small and in windy conditions the inner and outer canopies touch leading to damp bedding. We had high winds and rain for 17 hours one day, and by the end the tent was dripping through the seams in multiple places.I have taken mine out twice now, both times for 5 nights and both times with a 1 night pre-holiday test. On the second pre-holiday test the following faults were found:1 split on inner canopy (since tent was first received), sewn and repaired.1 rubber ring for fastening inner canopy broken, irreparable.1 canvas strap for pegging pole feet broken, needs resewing.1 strip for spacing ventilation came off, needs resewing.When erecting the tent at the start of the second holiday, one of the tent pole sections was found to have split. While erecting during a strongish wind, horrible splitting noises were heard. I have yet to inspect the damage, but the tent was left slightly deformed with the result that the ceilings were too low and the pods too wide, so the inner canopies didn't hang right and the outer canopies were distorted. We had (as stated above) a long period of high winds and rain and by the end of the holiday we had two long splits in the outer canopies of the pods, perhaps due in part to too much tension while pegging them down, trying to compensate and prevent inner and out canopies from touching.In summary, it's an ok tent, would do very nicely for 3 people. What do you expect for the cheap end of the market? If you are just trying camping, or don't go very often at all, then it's an ok buy, if you do a lot of camping, go for something bigger and stronger. After just 12 nights use we are going to replace it, so now I wish I had bought something better with thicker stronger fabric and more room.

On day 4 of a 5 day camping trip at a festival.1st night one of the rods broke (the metal fitting split on the sleeping pods).this was while erecting the tent on a windy day.the tent survived the night but I couldn't relax so didn't get much sleep..it survived another day and night with strong winds without further damage.the central vent leaked as the strong wind forced the rain under the flap...this flap also became unattached a couple of times(luckily I'm 6ft tall and with the help of the tent peg I managed to reach it)...the sleeping pods do droop a lot and would annoy the hell out of me if I was sleeping furthest from the door...personally I'd say it's a 3man tent but I guess 2 young children can share a pod.all things considered it's not a bad tent for the price..i would recommend erecting it before you 1st go camping but if do that with any new tent.i just hope I can get a spare rod for the sleeping pods.

Rubbish manual, rubbish tent and pegs' material quality.After figuring out how to erect central compartment of the tent the material the bits/loops that hold the rods/frame are made of ripped up, so wasted £140+ down the wind. Also central compartment does not have any sort of footprint or insulation so God forbid one uses this tent in the rain. Inner insulation layers in the sleeping compartments have no enough of hooks to be hanged to so this layer will touch the face of a sleeping person. Next year I am going to buy another 6 person tent rest assured it will not be scandika brand.

Good enough tent, used for two festivals, V festival and Creamfields both times there was only 3 of us but this can easily support 6 people as advertised. Just like many other users mentioned the rooms do droop slightly, I found using a double sized blow up bed works great at not only eliminating the drooping but also providing for a comfortable experience and it seems this is the perfect size also.In terms of setting up, fairly easy. Took us longer as we didn't have instructions and much experience (around 1 and a half hours) but once it was up it was very stable and easy to find. For the price, you really can't fault it. Only saw one other group with the same tent which had it in green.Can even use the two includes poles for the "Porch" as a washing line.

You pay for what you get more of a summer tent as it would let Wind in and is not very weather proof. Inside of the tent the main room is just a ground sheet on the floor that doesn't quite react he corners of the room so grass or mud will be in your tent, each compartment is seperate but enclosed and has a water proof bottom. Great size youll need a lot of room.Edit: after going to a festival in a storm it held up pretty well, wasn't to easy to put up battling the wind. Took 4 people to hold it down, but once the guide ropes where down it was pretty sturdy. (water proof tent spray is a life saver with this)

The sides don't come down to the floor, if it was raining or windy we are likely to get cold or wet, or worse, both. OK for the money and there is lots of room in it. High enough to stand in and the floor is strong enough to withstand the legs of folding chairs. It would be helpful if the tent had a skirt round. It;s not difficult to put up.

We have just come back from a few nights camping using this tent. It took us a while to put the tent up, but that is because we hadn't done it before. The last two nights, we experienced 30mph wind, and rain and are pleased to report that this tent survived it all. Nice spacious tent, big enough for our family of 5. I would highly recommend. 5 star ⭐️ rating all the way!

Great tent used for week long family holiday in Devon, liked the "living room area" which came in handy when it rained all one day.and meant we where all able to play cards / games and keep dry...
