I bought this to use while car camping to serve as a sun and rain canopy over picnic tables. I have only used it twice, once in the rain and once in hot weather and sun. It was useful both times and I am glad I had it with me. Quality is adequate and what should be expected for the price. The fabric is strong, waterproof and heavy. The grommets worked fine. The poles are very strong but simply constructed. The stakes are 1/8” steel rod. They are adequate but I had better extra stakes that I used instead ( 8” Easton aluminum). Setting it up with one person in a breeze was difficult. In any more wind two people would be required. Once both poles are vertical and staked out in a V, the rest is easy. Height above the ground is just adequate to go over a table or low tent. Taller poles with longer guy lines would give more versatility. A second set of shorter poles would allow raising one side for more head room. I am satisfied with what I got for what I paid. I will eventually buy some longer adjustable poles and use the originals on the side.

I just came back from a 6 day trip using this tent combined with the Best Choice Products 10x10ft Pop Up Canopy in gray. I also took two sidewalls that blocked majority of the sunlight out and made this tent almost a darkroom tent. We also had an Ozark Trail connect tent that attacked to the canopy, letting us have a two room tent. So the pros are probably more in favour of my set up than the tent itself. The weather of our week of camping had highs in the 60’s and lows in the 30’s and 40’s °F. We had one day of severe thunderstorms overnight with wind gusts up to 40MPH. With my canopy, I staked down the guy lines so the canopy was as secure as possible, and since I have severe storm anxiety, we rented a cabin for the night of the storm and hoped the tent would be good. The only issue was pooling water on the canopy, which created drips into the tent, but that was the canopy not the tent. Everything was fine! The only cons/ suggestions I wish the tent had were three things: - ties for when you unzip the door to be mesh so you can roll up the door like the windows - loops to stake down the sides at the bottom, because when the wind blew the bottom of the tent collapsed inwardly at the sides. - I purchased the tent with the dog door and I wish that had a zipper closer instead of just some toggles, I was fearful a raccoon or mice were gonna come in my tent. Overall it was easy to set up as long as you realize you need to clip up the tent in the middle first cause you might be like us and resize that after you walk in it and then be like well dang we have to undo half the tent to get to the middle clip. Packing the tent back up…. Sucks. But packing tents always suck and I just haven’t figured out how to fold it the right way.
