Barview Tent

Didn’t survive its first storm

Awful. The material is shiny plasticky material and not at all like the tent-like ripstop nylon in the main product image. Waste of money. Poor quality.

not used yet but put up in garden in 10 minutes looks ideal for what i need it for

Not put up yet but nice idea and good reviews prompted the purchase.

I Have just assembled this item, ready for a delivery of logs we are expecting. I followed the instructions, which were very detailed, and would, in general have ensured a good result, BUT unfortunately the instructions say that when putting in the 5, short, fibre-glass rods that provide the strengthstructure on the sidestop of the storage cave it says they must be put in the lower Gromiteyelet which is located facing inwards (rather than the top Gromiteyelet that can be used from either side, as the top one is for securing the cave tent to a wallfence andor attaching guy ropes the ground), which is impossible as the lower Gromitseyelets that are on the edge that is the back of the cavetent (rather than the frontside with a door) face outwards not inwards. This means that to put in the supports it is nessercerry to use the upper Gromits on the back edge as lower ones are back-to-front and thus inaccessible. This in turn means I am unable to secure to wall as recommended. I am not returning asking for replacement as 1) I suspect that replacement items will have the same manufacturing fault with the gromits stitched on ‘back to front’ facing outwards and also as  logs about to arrive and we need somewhere dry to put them. I should get a refund though since it’s fault and I can’t secure it against fence to stop it blowing off when empty. Another point – not until the item is unpacked and you’ve read the instructions until the end, do you get the information that the item, despite being designed and sold for outdoorgarden use, and thus it being expected that it will be exposed to sunlight, is not manufactured out of suitable uv resistant material, and will degrade in sunlight and needs to be treated with tent fabric protector at least every 6 months!
