Probably like the tent my mum bought from Asda a few years ago - she nearly spent the same money on waterproofing spray when it started leaking and poles were bending like they were going to snap in the slightest wind.
Prob better spending a little more if you are camping for more than a few days like a festival on something that is going to last many years.
Neither hot nor cold from me though as some people may find it useful for the one off.

I'd expect this to be decent, camping gear I've bought from Aldi always has been. Definitely not top end, but not disposable junk.

Nothing in particular but at least it will keep the rain out.

I was camping near some guys in a Tesco tent a few years ago. It being the lakes, it poured down. They got drenched. If you are going camping, don't buy a cheap tent

Ok, I'd be just worried about it only being 3,000HH with the British weather though.

Totally agree with your comments re Aldi camping gear

3'000 is perfectly fine for British weather imo. I have a Gelert with a HH of 2'000 and never leaked once.

Apparently 3000mm should take all the british weather can throw at it.

3000mm is fine for the British weather, and generally Aldi's camping accessories are pretty good.
I only have experience of one Aldi tent though - on the pitch opposite ours this weekend. It has rained all weekend and their brand new tent has leaked like a sieve - especially at the windows.
Agree with other comments - if you want to camp with family, or for more than a day or two you need to invest in a decent tent.

Did it look like this one?

I've read that 3,000 is the bare minimum, so it should cope with most of the British rain, but prob not torrential like I had a couple of years ago in Cornwall when it absolutely pelted it down for 1 of our 2 weeks solid (I'm hoping it's better this year like it was last year when we go away to Cornwall again on Friday).
I've had cheaper tents over the years and there is nothing worse than being worried in the night if it's going to withstand gales and putting pots, plates and pans out to catch the drips and mopping up with towels during the night.
If anybody did want to spend a little more there is a 4 birth Vango tent in Go Outdoors on a good offer of £199 at the moment (I know it's more than double the cost of this one, but it does look good for the money).
