Great for camping with a group or family holidays
The Churchill 9 comes from the Ultracamp Minister Range comes complete with the new Weather Tech 3000 flysheet.
This nine person tent is surprisingly easy to erect. Each of the three separate bedrooms has a zip close door and a sewn in groundsheet which is UV and mildew resistant. Poles are shock corded fibreglass and seams are taped, giving additional protection from leaks.
The tent's spacious communal living area has an optional loose groundsheet (included in the price). This is a really useful living area which may be used for storage at night and for chilling out during the day. Additionally, the entrance to the communal area can be turned into a canopy quickly and easily using the steel poles supplied, enabling you to enjoy the outdoors whilst providing welcome shade from the sun (or rain!)
Please note: It is good practice to familiarise yourself with the tent and assembly at least one week before taking it on your first camping trip. This will allow you to iron out any potential teething problems.

*Rain resistance is measured as a hydrostatic head in millimetres (mm). This indicates the pressure of water needed to penetrate a fabric. Heavy or wind-driven rain has a higher pressure than light rain. Standing on a groundsheet increases the pressure on any water underneath. Fabric with a hydrostatic head rating of 1000 mm or less is best regarded as shower resistant, with 1500 mm being usually suitable for summer camping. Tents for year-round use generally have at least 2000 mm.
**Many tent manufacturers indicate capacity by such phrases as "3 berth" or "2 person". These numbers indicate how many people the manufacturer thinks can be fit snugly into a tent with just sleeping bags. These numbers do not allow for any personal belongings, such as luggage, inflatable mattresses, camp beds, cots, etc., nor do they allow for people who are of above average height. Checking the quoted sizes of sleeping areas reveals that several manufacturers consider that a width of 150 cm (5 feet) is enough for three people — snug is the operative word. Experience indicates that camping may be more comfortable if the actual number of occupants is one or even two less than the manufacturer's suggestion.
