Testing the tent

Illusion's tent uses material reclaimed from a discarded frame tent. Here it is well and truly tested by the English summer weather.

There is plenty of room but the eagled eyed amongst you will have spotted the fatal law - zips are not waterproof! So whilst its very convenient that, by pure chance, the original curved door is on top for easy access....it won't be much fun waking up in a puddle:

A little water has run down the mast but the big puddle is due to the zip leaking, proven with a garden watering can. Plan B now.....time for a cuppa.
