1 person.
Single skin.
Decent sized porch for cooking/storage.
Bathtub groundsheet connected to walls of the tent by midge netting all the way around.

If not – why not?

Various Big Agnes designs? e.g.: https://www.bigagnes.com/Products/Detail/Tent/FlyCreek1Platinum

Sorry, you want singleskin? Have a look at Nemo maybe.

That has a full mesh inner tent. I just want a trip of mesh around the top of the groundsheet connecting to the tent walls. These would have to flare outwards above the mesh strip to provide weather-proofing.

Probably difficult to get the tension right on a single skin tent with a meshing strip. I can certainly see durability problems with such a design.

Lunar Solo

Have Mountain Laurel Designs got anything like what you want? If not, they do custom work too. There are a few other small American brands like this, I’m struggling to remember their names though.

EDIT: It seems to me that you might be as well using a mesh inner along with a tarp. Then you would have the option of using them separately in the right conditions. Ignore that…using the a mesh inner with its proper outer would be better than that, as it would be easier to set up.

MHW, I think, used to do something like that but without a decent porch. It didn’t work as well as you might hope and the weight savings weren’t so amazing that it was worth the discomfort.

That looks like the sort of thing I was thinking of. 😆

Possibly. I was just remembering that Hamish Brown came up with a similar design (quite) a few years back but without the mesh. It seemed to me that modern materials could make it a decent option.

The Mountain Hardwear tent I was thinking of was called the Waypoint. It had a mesh strip above a bathtub-type ground-sheet to improve ventilation, but from memory, it didn’t actually work very well at all. It didn’t have a vestibule at all either, but the bottom line, from memory was that condensation was still a real probem despite the mesh. I suspect there aren’t many similar designs partly for that reason.

Sorted.

Aye. Lunar Solo currently not available. More “research” needed…..

Tarp tent contrail almost fits the bill. Porch is a beak, needs a pole/stick to pitch

In which case, I think brooks range do one….

Hang on, google fu..

Go-lite do the shangri-la tarp, which you can add a floor to. I have the go-lite den2, brilliant bit of kit.

Not when I look

Yes, but the Go-lite netting lets midges in, and a Shangri-la with floor really allows the bugs in. Good tent mind.
