FAQs

What is the water resistance rating of the Six Peaks Revel tent?

The tent features a 1500mm water resistance rating on its 190T polyester material.

Is this tent suitable for all weather conditions?

No, this tent is designed for light weather conditions, such as light rain and moderate temperatures. Its single-layer construction is not intended for heavy rain, strong winds, or extreme weather.

How many people can comfortably sleep in this tent?

The tent is designed for two people. The dimensions are 200cm (L) x 120cm (W) x 100cm (H), providing a snug but functional sleeping space for two.

What materials are used for the tent poles and groundsheet?

The tent poles are made of flexible fibreglass (6.9mm), and the groundsheet is made of 100g/m² polyethylene.

Does the tent come with pegs and guy ropes?

Yes, it includes four 1.8m guy ropes and eight 17cm steel pegs for secure anchoring.

How heavy is the tent when packed?

The product description does not specify the exact weight, but it is described as lightweight and portable, packing down into a compact carry bag.

Can I use this tent for backpacking?

While lightweight, its primary design is for festivals and car camping where extreme portability is less critical. It is suitable for short hikes where space and weight are manageable.

Troubleshooting

Tent won't pitch easily

Ensure the fibreglass poles are fully assembled and correctly inserted into the pole sleeves and base grommets. Check that the tent fabric is laid out flat before inserting poles.

Water ingress during rain

Confirm all guy ropes are taut and all pegs are securely in the ground. Ensure the tent fabric is not sagging, which can create pooling. For minor leaks, consider using a seam sealer (sold separately) on seams. Note that this tent is best for light weather.

Tent feels unstable in wind

Use all provided guy ropes and pegs, positioning them to create maximum tension and anchor the tent firmly. Choose a sheltered spot if possible when setting up in windy conditions.

Tent fabric smells musty

This indicates the tent was stored while damp. Dry the tent completely in sunlight before storing. For persistent odors, air it out outdoors for a few days.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy and quick to set up, ideal for beginners.
  • Lightweight and compact for convenient transport.
  • Affordable shelter for festival and short camping trips.
  • Provides adequate protection from light rain and dew.
  • Includes all necessary pegs and guy ropes for secure pitching.

Cons

  • Single-layer construction is not suitable for heavy rain or strong winds.
  • Dimensions are snug for two people, offering limited extra space.
  • Material may not be as durable for extended or frequent use.
  • Water resistance rating of 1500mm is moderate and may not withstand prolonged downpours.
  • No seam taping means potential weak points for water ingress.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpack the tent and lay out the groundsheet.
  2. Assemble the two fibreglass poles and insert them into the corresponding sleeves on the tent fly.
  3. Insert the pole ends into the grommets at the base of the tent.
  4. Raise the tent by pulling the poles upwards.
  5. Secure the tent using the provided steel pegs, hammering them into the ground through the eyelets at the base.
  6. Attach the four guy ropes to the tent loops and secure them with additional pegs, positioning them to provide tension and stability.

Compatibility:

This tent is designed for use on standard campsites, festival fields, and other grassy or soft ground where pegs can be firmly inserted. It is not recommended for use on hard surfaces or in rocky terrain where secure anchoring is not possible.

Care:

  • Always dry the tent completely before storing it to prevent mildew and damage.
  • Clean the fabric with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary; avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Store the tent in its carry bag in a cool, dry place.
  • Periodically check the poles and fabric for any signs of wear or damage.
