The set up was super simple! All you do is assemble the (2) poles that hold the far end up with the trip wires to hold em upright. The bonnet slips over the rear end of your SUV (kinda like a hair net). I prefer to keep the hatch open so it holds the roof up high so you can stand underneath without your head touching the roof. At the bottom of the bonnet there is a ruffle attached to keep the bugs from flying under your vehicle. Be sure to hook behind your mud flap to help hold in place. We also used two spare cords to attach the top of the bonnet to our roof rack in case winds pick up. ** So the only flaw is where we attached the bonnet it wraps around under your car on your muffler/exhaust...I'd recommended waiting till it cools and don't run your vehicle while the tent is attached to your car other wise you might melt it. ***We used a propane fire pit, I highly recommend (don't use a wood fire under this canopy) *Another thing I recommend is to attach the side of the bug net to the ground and stretch it out on the sides as far as the middle zipper will let it. This is a safety precaution if you have a propane fire in it. We had a gust of win blow thru while we were distracted and almost melted it in the fire pit. Over all I recommend this tent/canopy if you are SUV camping or just a river day to keep the bugs off you and seek shade with the family. You can fit 4 people with chairs around the fire pit.

Im a 5’ 9” woman and it was almost too small but worked great for a 2 night camp. I added an air mattress and had enough room to sleep comfortably. It poured rain and I had a tarp as a rain fly and the interior was nice and dry. Perfect for a quick camping trip for one person.

This tent is average. I camped alongside a river with it and because there are no vents after putting on the rainfly, I got some extreme condensation in the mornings. It was literally like the inside of my tent was sweating. Hopefully the amount of water buildup in the picture I posted of the inside back wall can be observed. It was everywhere along the walls of the rainfly and clung onto the mesh wall, making the inside wet. I know with camping alongside a river that it is hard to avoid condensation problems, but it has major issues if you plan to camp alongside any watershed with it. This is also a true 1 person tent with not much wiggle room. I'm under 5 feet, 103 pounds, and even I felt like this tent was too narrow to move around in. I was able store my 50L pack at the foot, but for taller folks, I don't think that will be possible if you want to keep your pack inside. Also, anyone who likes to spread out when they sleep or if they may be a little claustrophobic will not like it. I was also juuuuust able to sit up inside with my head touching the top. The thing I liked about it was how easy it was to set up. It took me about 5 minutes. Breakdown was also a breeze and was even quicker. I also loved that it was lightweight enough to ruck a short distance with it. In my case, about a mile--although I must say this is definitely NOT a backpacking tent for those seeking an ultralight setup. I took the initiative to weigh it out and it came out to over 4 lbs. For a one person tent, that is waaaay too heavy and there are other lighter options out there for that. Overall, for what I expected to use it for, it doesn't meet my expectations. I bought it to camp alongside lakes, rivers, and streams, and just the thought of the amount of condensation in the mornings is enough to have me return this.
