If you are camping in the garden just to give your young son an
experience then surely your husband can rough it for a night or two?
Your son will probably have more fun in the smallest tent you can find.

Hi Alan

The point is that we want to see how it goes in the garden first, before
going further afield later on. My husband isn't keen on small tents in
the first place, that's why I was asking!


There are quite a few tents around that will give your husband the
necessary head room - Depends partly on how big generally you want the
tent, there tends to be a bit of a relationship between floorplan size
and height.


Our Kyham would give him plenty of headroom, but it's a bit big for 3.

It's a few years old now, but the nearest model current is probably the
XXL Excelsior , but they have others :-)

Kyham are not cheap, but of good quality, and very sturdy in windy
weather.

Ebay can be good place for tent buying, you get a lot of not used much
tents sold by people who try it once or twice then decide it' not for
them

Hi Chris

Thanks for that, very useful and I will be following up all suggestions
of specific types and models to find the best one for us.
