Hennessy Hex Fly $47.96

[lottie.lou]

Details below. I've been quoted $47.96 for a group buy, which according to my untrustworthy on-line converter works out at £23.52 (the price in sterling is just a guide and not the actual price).
The tarps are direct from Hennessy but they have some stored in London so we won't have to pay customs and the postage will be a lot less. According to my calculations it should cost £33 all in.


70D "HEX"-SHAPED PU-COATED POLYESTER RIPSTOP RAIN FLY
Size: 132"x 120" hexagonal shape Weight: 1 lb. 9oz , 700 g. This fly comes standard on the new Safari Deluxe but will provide generous protection from wind and rain for any model.

From here, SOTP and my friend theres 10 people already interested, so if they all go ahead that would make the postage around £8 (I think). Thats including the postage from London as its only $50 regardless of the size of the order. But its early days yet and that price will drop if more people are interested.

Right I've worked it out and there's enough people wanting one for it to definitely cost £33 delivered to you via recorded first class, hopefully less but I need to buy some packaging too.

[Ratel10mm]

Sorry, but I'm not sure how the hex. tarp size is quoted & it looks a bit small for me (needing a good 2m long). However, if you guys can assure me that it will cover a Magikelly hammock end-to-end, then I'm up for one please.

[lottie.lou]

Its in inches, elsewhere on their site they quote it as being 10 foot by 12 foot, but that doesn't quite work out as theres 11 feet in 132 inches.

Either way its 3 by 3.5 metres. I don't know anything about Magikelly's hammocks so I don't know about attachments but it should be long enough.

[Mikey P]

If there's any chance of getting onto the group buy, I'm in! But, can you tell me how it is fitted to the hammock system?

It's what I use mine on :D - infact Magikelly himself did a group buy on these back along to go with the group buy hammocks ;) - don't think they were this cheap though - I'll try and find a piccy for you :)

OK, not a clear picture, but you get the idea : magikelly hammock, with underquilt and hex fly:

ProAdventure and Complete Outdoors list the dimensions as 120" x 144" which would make it 10 x 12

I found a thread on here from earlier in the year, that people were having problems with the corners ripping on the fly. I also noticed that Hennessy replaced them everytime which is reassuring, did they do anythiing to fix the fault anyone know ??

[lottie.lou]

Thats a bit worrying, well everyones welcome to change their mind if need be.

I'll make the order a week today 12/12/07. I'll accept any payment, Paypal, cheque, bank transfer, beer etc. I'll PM people details when I've put the order through. I don't want to start taking money before I order and then realise I've added it up wrong or something (even though I've checked it about 5 times).

[Shewie]

Thats a bit worrying, well everyones welcome to change their mind if need be.




Yeah I wasn`t trying to put a downer on the group buy, I just came across it when searching on here. I`m definitely still in and looking forward to trying out.

[andy_e]

Thats a bit worrying, well everyones welcome to change their mind if need be.

Still in too, though it might be an idea to get a reassurance, if you can, that they've addressed any problems.

[Silverback]

I modded mine and put the post up on here http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20429&highlight=hex+fly. I do know of several others that had a problem with ripping loops and I sent the modification details to Hennessy to adopt as they saw fit but do not know if they took it on board. The mod is very simple and effective involving a few short lengths of webbing tape and to reassure everyone the price is still blinding even if you do need to mod it :)

[bikething]

I've used mine in some windy conditions and not had a problem yet... and at this price, I'll agree with the hairy one :

... the price is still blinding even if you do need to mod it :)

so i'm gonna buy one for my spare hammock set :rolleyes:

I didn't think you were Shewie, I just worry too much! I'll ask about the loops though, the pool lady at Hennessy is probably getting a bit sick of all my questions by now! Mind you they're selling 20 rain fly out of it so far.

OK, count me in please, but be aware that I am away from tomorrow until the 18th. I will try to get online & PP you on the 12th, but I cannot promise to be anywhere near a connection.

If that's a problem, then no worries. Just let me know either way please, and thanks for going to all this trouble for us.

OK, count me in please, but be aware that I am away from tomorrow until the 18th..

Lottie, if I can paypal you the estimated cost before I go (tomorrow lunchtime) we can sort out any 'adjustments' when I get back, if that's OK with you?

No problems Gorrila! For the people who want to pay me before hand thats fine, my PP is lottie.lou@gmail.com Anyone who does pay through paypal I'm going to have to add £1.40 for the fees I'm afraid as I'm really pricing these with no leeway to compensate for such like.

This is getting a bit confusing without people adding their names properly, I think I've got everyone. If you would like one and your name is not on the list please can you copy it, add your name and then post it in a message.

Unfortunately some of us have to work today to drag this country out of the next recession, not exactly working though as we`ve just put I am Legend on the 50" plasma in the office.

The wifes just rung me to say I have a parcel, I can`t think of anything else on order so hopefully it`s my tarp. I`ll confirm later Lottie.

Got mine Christmas eve, thank you very much for organising the group buy, I hope it went smoothly for you.

Brian

[lottie.lou]

Thanks for letting me know you've got them ok everyone, its a weight lifted!


Uh Oh, slightly worrying the amount of 'mine arrived thanks' posts here :( . Hopefully I will receive mine this week. Anyone else still waiting?

I know of one other person waiting, not sure if thats a good sign or bad one. Well they're insured so if the worst comes to the worst you'll definitely get one. If it has got lost I might have one spare for you while we wait for the compensation to come through too.

[bikething]

If i'm the 'other person' then it's not time to worry yet.. the office where they're being delivered is closed down until the 2nd Jan.
Either they're already there (I'll check tomorrow after work - it's good being a keyholder ;) ), or the delivery company couldn't deliver because the office is shut...

I'll keep you posted :)

Not back at work again until 7 Jan (woo-hoo!) so will let you know then.

I've already got one and think it's ace. another would be handy.
Great piece of kit.
plus I've used it in some very high winds and stormy weather with no problems at all.

Mine arrived yesterday too along with buffalobill's. Thanks very much for organising this Charlotte.

Got mine yesterday when the office reopened.
Thanks once again.

No problems, glad you've all got them. Everyone paid up really fast which made it a lot easier, cheers.

[andy_e]

Cheers again Lottie, I used mine all last week up north. Held up great in gales, blizzards and rain. Is a good size too, much more useful space than the 3x2 that I have been using and packs down remarkably small.

[Mikey P]

Lottie,

I've PM'd you as mine hasn't arrived yet. Our post is notoriously fickle so I'll let you know at the end of the week if it's here. I suspect that it is delayed somewhere as everyone else has got theirs OK.

Could I ask if you sent it Royal Mail or did you use a courier firm?

Cheers,

Mike

[bikething]

Mine arrived sometime towards the end of last week :You_Rock_

I was surprised to see the colour was a dark olive - my existing one is quite a bright green.. I like the olive better :D

Many thanks for your efforts on this Lottie - much appreciated

EDIT: now then peeps - lets see some photos of them in use ?!
