Its a bit of a rambling story but the essence of my problem and question is about the pressure people are using in airbeam tents so the inflatables are sturdy enough and not overblown to risk popping. And what set up really can cope with high winds.(ps but i need something i can stand up in as i am getting too old for scrabbling round on the floor!) Last weekend i went camping in the south of England to a cliff edge camp site. Probably silly, but we had 4 children between myself and my friend who were excited about the trip which has been planned and booked for several weeks. The weather forecast had weather warnings for high winds but as very experienced campers and having been there before when fairly windy we went anyway. The first day, Thursday, was ok but then the winds really blew up on Friday afternoon and the forecast was for 70 mph gusts by 2am. We decided to strike camp and move pitch and found what we thought was a more protected part of the site which was time consuming and hard work but we did not want to go home. The wind started blowing in all directions and regardless of massive attention to door opening position, all guy ropes in place, tent pegs well driven and correct airbeam pressure at 5(?psi) which they recommend, the tents were still being bent beyond recognition (mine a costly new 4 man vango airbeam and friends an Easycamp 350).
Many campers left that day and many sturdy well put up tents started flapping about with camping kit being thrown all round the site. Airbeam tents or inflatable tents are becoming increasingly popular because of their ease of use, comfort, and overall features. The few that stayed put were the big Outwells with metal poles and the big airbeams ie all 6-8 berth with more inflatable sections. However i dont know if even they coped the whole night. Our two tents were being completely flattened, my friends first but when the gusting got bad mine also. So just wondering if anyone has any tips.are you inflating to 6psi? Do you have a set up that copes with very strong winds? So at 8pm we decided the weather was too bad and we were afraid we'd have 4 scared children by 2am when the predicted storm was to be at its worst so we packed up and went home.
