What’s New

Stronger at the Core

Structure 9mm OD Centre Pole · Pole Hub Redesign · Colour-Coded Pole Feet

Anchored Down

Reinforced Guying System · Doubled Side Guys · Hypalon Hang Points

The guy system has been rebuilt from the ground up. Doubled side guys spread the load more evenly across the flysheet. The Reinforced Guying System go further, attaching directly to the tent structure rather than the fabric, so in serious conditions the stress goes somewhere that can take it. Hypalon hang points complete the system, resisting stretch and degradation where standard fabric loops eventually give.

Enhanced Ventilation

FlexiPorch · 36 Door/Vent Options · Double Flysheet Doors · Larger End Vents, With Extra Opening Positions

The Thoughtful Bits

Lantern hook · Drying line · Elasticated Corners · Ergonomic Zips · Reflective Eyelet Tape · Footprint clip-in

Adam (verified owner) – April 18, 2026

Love it but one question
Just back from a windy and wet camp, really really appreciated the all in one pitching and the wind changed after I pitched it so I swapped to the other door which seems like a luxury after my one ended tunnel type tent from before. I was a bit nervous about the ground sheet (no footprint yet) as I was on forest floor with all kinds of stuff trying to poke through but all good in morning thankfully. Really like the reflective tabs on the tent corners but the guys are not quite as reflective as some which is a shame. Speaking of which, the end vents are guyed out with the same peg and line as the two funky guys that attach to outer via the pole hub. This seems pretty solid but the guy line after doubling back to the two funky guys seems quite short and I couldn’t get the triangular vent cover to stop being flappy. I’m 6 foot 2 and had proper space to sit up on my mat, and loads of room at head and foot end which is a real luxury for taller people. Even the door seems taller than my old tent no more dragging water off the fly on my bag as I crawl in. Venting is great lots of options. Overall feels bombproof and just what I wanted for winter camping. Shame Spring has sprung eh

Guarantee

Lifetime Guarantee

Loading... is covered by a lifetime guarantee offering long‑term reassurance to the original owner for the usable life of the product. This refers to the period during which the item can reasonably deliver the performance it was designed for - something that naturally varies depending on how it is used, the conditions it is exposed to and the care it receives. A product used frequently in demanding environments will naturally have a shorter lifespan than one used occasionally and well maintained. For this reason, we assess each case individually rather than applying a fixed timeframe. While this guarantee covers all Terra Nova products, tent and bivi poles are excluded, as they are protected under our dedicated No‑Quibble Alloy Pole Guarantee

Two-Year Pole Guarantee

Every alloy pole supplied with Terra Nova and Wild Country tents or bivis is covered by our No‑Quibble Pole Guarantee. For two years from the date of purchase, we will replace any damaged pole - regardless of the cause, including unforeseen mishaps or accidental damage. This straightforward, hassle‑free policy ensures you can rely on your equipment with confidence, knowing that any tent or bivi pole issue will be resolved quickly so your adventures can continue uninterrupted.
