Note: All dome tents should be erected at home before going Camping. Read our practical hints before going and please do practice. Behind some of our web pictures we do have instructions posted & also have an instruction page up. Your help in improving our web information will be taken on board.

Poles: From any O Meara tent will be replaced free of charge for the first year irrespective as to how they have been broken! Just bring in the poles and your receipt.

Hydrostatic Head: In theory the amount of water material will withstand before leaking. If you want to test what the "spec" says get a test tube and fill it to the height specified. Next hold that height of water in the test tube on the material. Leave for a few minutes and see what the result is. In O'Meara's opinion this measurement is a load of nonsense. The problem of leaking is almost always confused and is a problem of condensation. Rain in Ireland still does not fall in column inches. It certainly does not fall in test tubes at least not yet. Check instead for ventilation features. I have asked in a factory in China about the hydrostatic head to be told I would be given a certificate for what ever number of mm I wanted!  An Irish solution to a problem.

Budget Priced Domes: I considered the following before typing as the feed back of directness on our web site has heartened me and emboldened me to be brutally honest. All large dome tents for families that are "Budget Priced are just what they seem Budget priced. Some of the prices are so cheap as to beggar belief. The quality of the tents for the price is fantastic but they are not made to, nor are they intended to last. Many of the budget priced tents will only last one or two outings. Seams although taped will start to come undone. The seams can be seam sealed to repair them but not with standing the repair the tents have a function which is to get you camping in the first place. As most suppliers now source in the Far east it is only the local suppliers quality that determines the better tents. Budget tents will get you started and in most cases are even better than we say.

Very easily erected Hybrid Dome Tent with front and rear door!

Family Tunnel Dome Tent that erects fly sheet first. Sleeps 5 with a convenient Large Front Porch living space. The large living area has extra height along with windows and most importantly good ventilation. The living area is tall enough to stand in. The bedroom area can be divided if needed by roll up curtains. In addition there is a side opening in the living area that can double as a shaded area or eating area.   The flysheet has taped seams and is made from 185T polyester which is PU coated. The inner tent is made from a breathable polyamide material and the floor is meshed PE.  The hydrostatic head is rated at 2000 mm a figure that really means very little. The poles are 11 mm fibreglass. The tent is supplied with two extra steel upright poles and a separate detachable groundsheet. The tent pack size is 74 * 24 cm. A really nice starter tent. Recommended.

 Details

Extra large family dome tent with taped seams, 3 Separate bedrooms, Porch Canopy, Living Area, top quality Separate Fly sheet, Easy Erect tent with colour coded poles. Built In Ground Sheet, Sleeps 9 Persons, Complete with Carry All Bag, Pegs & Guy Ropes. All large dome tents should be erected at home a couple of times. That way you will only look an "idiot" at home!  

All large dome tents also need all their guy ropes fixed to the ground as the large structure is secured by the guy ropes and the flexed dome poles. There are many guy ropes! Finally we have had a number of people erecting large dome tents who thought the dome poles should be "stuck" in the ground. Not so. All dome tents have either brass eyelets at the end of the tent or a ring and pin system to hold the flexed poles in place. The flexed poles are held taught by either of these two systems. So in all cases practice. Now for my next lesson......

Finally should you break one of the dome poles on a tent you have purchased from ourselves we will replace the poles during the first year free of charge.

The Bounty tent also has..............

Three separate entrances

Roof lights / sky lights

Porch entrance on 2 upright poles.
