Luxe Outdoor Megahorn Family Inner
The long awaited family inner for the Luxe Mega Horn has now arrived.
This maximises the space internally in the shelter and still leaves space for access, exit and storage to the door.
The supplied high density netting is mosquito and midge proof, offering the best protection during the ‘buggy’ months.
It is designed to fit 2 adults and 2 smaller persons/children or pets. It has two independent doors to mimimise disturbance.
The top is hung by a small hook to the Mega Horn. However it could also be used in any large teepee shelter with a large enough floor space and attachment point.
The big difference between this inner and the other winter/summer inners is that 2 full length sleeping mats can fit with ease leaving considerably more space than with the smaller inners. Due to its teepee shape it also holds the tension better which makes it feel much more spacious.
The 'cut out' floor area is still plenty of room for seats, cooking gear ect. Once again the simple 'hook' attachment means it can be dropped during the day freeing up the whole floor space.

Top tips for a stable shelter in all weathers
If the supporting pole sinks at any stage the material will lose all the tension and the tent can become unstable in high winds, with the possibility of the pole moving. The common tip here is to cut a tennis ball in half and use each half at either end of the pole. It prevents the pole from sinking and also reduces the pressure on the peak. Once this is in place, applying tension on all the surrounding guys will maintain tension throughout the night. Some use Marmite caps or Rebar Mushrooms.
In excessive wet weather we have had occasional reports of the supplied guys slipping in the cleats. A simple overhand knot will stop this. -
Seam sealing the tent
As the silicone tents are designed without seam taping, we recommend user to apply seam sealing on the outside seam of flysheet where necessary (Mainly around the crown area). Along the horizontal stitching around the vent. Down the zip and 'inside' the guy loops and top loop. (Pull apart with your fingers) Anywhere water can gather is a potential point of issue if the tent will be subjected to prolonged rainfall or a persistently wet environment.
