G'day Russell,

The Safari 260 is fully seam-sealed, so you shouldn't need to weather/season it before use.

G'day Russell,

Darche doesn't specify whether or not their mesh insect screens are midge proof, however, it does feel/look fairly fine to me.

G'day Damian,

The 90 x 90cm is pretty accurate due to the internal frame at the top, so while you might be able to shave a cm or two off in the height direction, we'd say you'll need to account for 90cm in the width and length directions. 

G'day Andrew, 

Thanks for your enquiry. The square frame in the roof cannot be removed from within the tent, I'm sorry to say. The poles are sewn into the canvas and are integral to hold up the structure. 

G'day Connor,

I've just given Darche a buzz to double check this one for you and they were able to confirm for me that the awning poles on the Safari 260 Touring Tent are adjustable. 

G'day Tony,

It's a little hard to say really. It would depend a bit on the height of your stretcher as the tent tapers in the higher it goes. To be safe a mattress on the ground would work fine but a stretcher might be a little touch and go. 

G'day Phil, 

The Safari 260 tent from Darche a durable 3 season tent that is as waterproof as it gets, but everything has its limitations. If you use any tent for a week in continuous rain, then there is a small chance you might have a leak - but it is unlikely. 

If you need some tips for setting up your tent when you get caught out in unideal conditions, then check out our blog on the topic here. 

G'day Tony, 

We've just looked into this, and it looks like we got it wrong. Apologies for the confusion, the sleeping area should be 260 x 260cm. I'll make sure that gets fixed right away. 

G'day Trent,

The removable awning and awning poles are included with the Darche Safari 260 Touring Tent and are part of the total weight.
