Wish I hadn't bothered, purchased Jan 22, 1st time used April 22 and one of the poles split across a knot in the wood. No joy from the supplier, apparently the poles can do this. 'Because it is a natural material the wood will contract and expand naturally over time as temperature and humidity changes. Even when these are sat idol they can still be affected by this' future business lost from me for the sake of a fiver replacement. I hate this really poor customer service.

We also have one of these for the longer stays. It definitely gets easier to put up and take down after a few trips but the first few times can be challenging
