Ive had a few in my time Mike,but all have been pole types,not pop ups like the link.
Found them adequate for the job(by ),but if its going outside your awning i think it would need guylines of some sort and that one doesnt seem to have any.
Tommo had one that hes had a few years and that seems to still good,again,his had poles

Hi Brian. I've got a cheap old canvas one with poles. Was wondering about something super quick to put up and that dries quickly after rain.

Do they blow away easily dobby, if properly pegged at each corner. I'm guessing they bend a lot in the wind?

How windy you gonna be, Mike?

we've something very similar on the boat as a shower cubicle and it works well, although guy ropes might be helpful if you don't have the benefit of a mast to fasten it to.
The only downside is trying to get it back in the bag. There's a youtube video which shows it being done with the greatest of ease but once you get three turns on that spring you really don't want to let it go. It's probably practice, maybe I should shower more often.
Regards,
Brian.

Cheers Brian, yes I watched those videos too - make it look tantalisingly easy but....tempted to buy one just for the challenge ha ha.

Bob - behave, you old windbag, or I shall f*rt in your general direction

This is all beginning to sound and smell a bit fruity. Maybe I'll just use the bushes after all

Thanks Brian. That settles it, I'll get one ordered.

Mike, check that there Is a hole in the top of the tent for the pee pipe?

We used to call our old canvas one the omni-po-tent.
