ive read all the reviews (there are loads more on the other colours), and there seems to be a theme about the zip being dodgy. does anyone have one and have you found it ok?

we've got lockable bike stands in the concrete so hope that they will be secure enough as its just a tent

    It may take off in a strong wind unless its tied and against a wall. Poundland sell ordinary bike covers for.......£1

    If I had one then I'd use a big chain secured to the ground or wall to lock them whilst inside the tent. Plus fix the tent to the wall.
    Yes poundlands covers are for bikes, they have quite an array of bike related things.

    we may have stumbled on another option, but the rows ive had with OH about fixing things to walls, he just wont do it. it ruins the fabric of the wall, we nearly split up over a set of shelves......

    yes, we have lockable bike stands in the concrete so they will be secure but dont want anyone to try to steal them!

    The "tent" will probably get nicked.

    Ever had a car cover? they last about 2 nights before some scrote has had off with it!
