Thanks for the input guys <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

It's for family camping actually, and the weather can get pretty crappy out here, so we'd rather be safe than sorry and get something with four walls and a roof <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'm glad I asked you fellas, though, cos I wasn't keen to drop all that cash on a canvas tent, when a nylon one will be just as good.

I'll definitely get something decent, I know of a Howling Moon dome tent made of 600D rip-stop nylon that's 3m X 3m and 2m tall (9ft X 9ft & 7ft tall). Price here is around $285. The canvas equivalent would be more than double that! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
