![]() There’s just one door on the tent on the left side, and we did note a distinct lack of bug mesh, which meant that in use, we had to keep the door closed most of the time, and were thankful we had our Insect-o-cutor bug zapper with us.Ĭlipped in groundsheet, one of the lantern hanging points and finally the gaps across the bottom of the doorĪt the front of the tent there is a good ventilation panel and again, at the rear of the tent, if you guy it out, it opens up some additional bedroom ventilation. The bedroom compartment is already clipped in, as is the clip in groundsheet that covers the front section of the tent, however this can easily be removed, if for some reason you didn’t want to use it. The first time of pitching was a little confusing, largely down to the fact the Skye Air II doesn’t have fully sewn-in groundsheets, so finding the base shape of the tent left me momentarily bamboozled, but thankfully, as soon as you pump up the beams (which takes about 30 seconds per beam) the tent pretty much pops into shape making it obvious and far easier to continue pegging down. If you’re guying it out fully and you’re doing it alone, you’ll still be fully pitched in under 10 minutes. Weather conditions were good for my first pitch, so I didn’t use every guy rope, and it took me about 5 minutes to pitch solo. The Skye Air II goes up just like any other AirBeam tent, I tend to roll the tent out, roughly peg it out at the corners, inflate the AirBeams, then finish the process of pegging out and guying. ![]() ![]() Sleeping compartment shown with my big folding camp bed inside on a solo trip Pitching the tent
