Spacious & near-vertical sidewalls

Like all the tents in the Resort Range, the Hornet Pole System gives you near-vertical sidewalls that provide plenty of cool, ‘walk-around’ space inside the tent with lots of headroom. A tall person can stand in the CORNER!

The Weekender is a one-room, cabin-style dome tent that is spacious, offering all the best in quality manufacture and design to ensure your holiday is as good as you wish for.

Gusset Vents

Large, gusseted window at the rear of the tent. The outside cover can be either pegged out as an awning with the gusset unzipped, pegged out as an awning with the gusset zipped up for all-weather protection and ventilation, or rolled up for open ventilation.

The external gusseted cover gives extra protection from the rain and prevents condensation build-up.

Ventraflow

Ventraflow panels at the bottom of both sides of the tent allow a cross-flow of air down low where you sleep. Australian summer nights can be hot and humid so fresh air where you are sleeping is essential. There isn’t much point in having the limited fresh air drifting in through windows that are too high to be of direct benefit. Ventraflow panels also have internal privacy screens, so you can adjust the air flow without having to go outside and adjust the external window covers.

Ventraflow external covers can be pegged out so that you can have fresh air even while it is raining. These external covers are gusseted, giving extra rain protection as well as protecting the tent from over-stress as the covers are pegged out.Ventraflow, in conjunction with large windows and doors, provides unparalleled ventilation for your comfort.

Three-Pole Awning

Large 3-pole awnings at the front of the tent provides heaps of headroom and space to relax outside in the shade.

Optional Side Walls attach to the three-pole awnings and can be poled out to form an extra large awning in fine weather, or you can peg them down for extra protection under the tent awning in wet or breezy weather.

The specific Outdoor Connection design of the Three-Pole Awning means that the awning on your tent can be left erected when it is raining. The rain will run off to the sides. You can still enjoy the great outdoors even when it is wet.

Omega Doors

The front of the tent provides a full wall of ventilation when the outside door is rolled up or erected as an awning. Both the mesh screen and the privacy panel can be easily folded away in a small pocket low down to the side.  No more doors hanging untidily and in the way!

The door and windows have both mesh and privacy screens.

OUTDOOR CONNECTION SUSTAINABILITY

CAMPING GEAR OR JUST LANDFILL?

Outdoor Connection is very conscious of the mountain of waste that we, as a nation, create. So often see reports of waste bins and skips full of discarded camping gear that is broken, often on first use, and left discarded at campsites. It’s all just needless waste. At Outdoor Connection, we go to the effort and expense of making our products to a higher specification. We have instituted quality control procedures to ensure that our products meet those specifications. In addition, we make every effort to make products that provide great value and that will last to provide you with many years of great enjoyment and reward - out in the great outdoors!

Strengthen your family connections

Camping gives you the opportunity to spend quality time with your family without the distractions of the daily grind. Doing simple things such as collecting wood for the campfire and building the fire together will help form connections that you may struggle to do at home due to the kids consistently being on their phones, laptops or tablets.
