Wenka tents.

[Sir Hugo]

Has anybody had any dealings with Wenka Tents in Germany ? If so can you leave feedback here?
Jolly good, Sir Hugo

Yep I bought a sail and an Anglo saxon tent -- pretty good on the whole - but any serious or prolonged rain or showers they do leak !

generally happy with them - but no where near Past Tents for quality of canvas.

Couple of my guys have bought awnings- good service and quality seems good . I have tried ordering non-standard items and never had any peplies

[Bad Viking]

[Sir Hugo]

Thanks for the info guys . I am looking purchase a couple of their awnings for the summer season.

I have a 10 x 10 awning, quite lightweight but it has been totally waterproof, even in heavy rain. If you are buying off ebay though they are not good at giving feedback.

[Sir Hugo]

Thanks Musket. I noticed thier kit on ebay but I have since been on their website...which does not show the awnings at all..might have to be an ebay purchase after all.

Caution...I am one of the people who had to get Ebay to give me a refund..ordered an awning 12 months ago and got no reply to any emails etc., Shame, as they looked good and are a fantastic price..let me know how you get on.

[Sir Hugo]

Thanks for the info Tess. I think I will wait and see what the Living History Fair at Bruntingthorpe throws up.

You could order Sir Hugo, I think most people get their orders, but some don't, and wenka are not good on communication. I didn't even know mine had been posted until it turned up at the door a couple of weeks later.
If the worst happens, its easy enough to get your money back through ebay/paypal, but obviously there is an element of messing around in that!

[Sir Hugo]

Thanks again Musket. I'm still a bit undecided but the awnings are good sizes and prices...
I will leave feedback if I do order.
Jolly good ,Sir Hugo

The awning/sail I bought from them on the whole was reasonable - and I'm in all probability buying another later this year as our group expands - in numbers and not in waist lines as has been happening ! haha

[Sir Hugo]

Hi Bad Viking.

Did you buy the awning from Wenka off Ebay?

Jolly good, Sir Hugo

[Bad Viking]

yep - from ebay
