I loved this tent so much that I bought two! It’s really sturdy! See the last photos of our old tent. It was 8 years old and it held up against everything and finally 60+ mph straight line winds took it down. Despite missing its rain guard and a few snapped poles, the tent itself held up really well. We were so happy with all the years we got out of it and finally got another one and I had to go with the same one. It is really easy to set up, 2 people took 20/30 minutes or so and the size is great. We got a queen sized air mattress in it at one point with end tables and had room to spare. There is also a spot to hang a lantern up if we need and I loved that the door is hinged, it makes it so easy to go in and out. The floor is waterproof and has a coating that comes up the sides and the only time we had water in it was the night of the wind storm. It rained while we were setting it back up and it started down pouring as soon as we got it up. We slept in the truck that night and the liner is so good that we could have swam in it. We’ve never had water inside the tent Before and that just shows how great the waterproofing was. It kept the water out and once the water was in, it didn’t leave because the liner was that good. I can see myself years down the road buying my third. I love this tent.

OK, I bought it from my Florida trip. I thought it might be too humid to sleep in the tent. It turns out when we got to the campground and the minute we set our ice chests down ants were crawling on the ice chests trying to get inside. Easy pop up easy access thru the large side door

Tarp and included tie downs feel and work really well. The included stakes are 'meh' at best, they will do the job. The included poles are the weak point, they are thin metal and not the most sturdy. Do yourself a favor and order better poles for it. You will be MUCH happier! I use mine of the back of my Jeep out camping or tailgating. (You can see the pole flexing...) I am happy with the kit and it works well, material on the tarp feels fine. I mean its not going to save you in a hurricane.. but will get the job done for normal use at the park or whatnot. Would buy again, just wish it had better poles!

This is the second set of auger type tent stakes we’ve ordered, and these are much lighter duty than our other set. Our other set is excessively strong, heavy to carry around, take a while and a lot of effort to auger into the ground because they are longer and thicker. To be clear, these auger stakes exceed our needs which is to hold down a 12x18 foot team gazebo at tournaments. Regular tent stakes did not hold the other team tent which bent up after a surprise gust of wind pulled the normal hammered in stakes out of the ground. For these auger style stakes to not unscrew from the ground, drive them in at an angle like you would if hammering in normal tent stakes. Otherwise, these will unscrew when pulled directly up. I tested this out on both our sets, and it happens with our excessively strong auger stakes too that we use for a regulation sand volleyball net. As stated, the auger tines are welded on both sides, so I can’t imagine they’d come undone. The welding is a bit sloppy with some splatter here and there (still well painted), but these are meant to screw into the ground, out of sight. At first, I kind of tossed the rope rachet locks aside thinking I’d probably never use them, but the rachets are unexpectedly well built with substantial metal locking components that distinctly click into place and lock soundly. The carabiners are heavier duty black painted steel. These rachet ropes are much easier to use, and higher-grade rope than that which comes with the team gazebo. Properly installed, the manufacturer’s claim of each rachet strap holding 75lbs seems plausible. Think I’ll use these rachet ropes a lot more in the future, they're just way easier to use than knots. Also worth mentioning, this set does come with the t-handle. Not all sets come with the handle, so no matter which set you order, a handle is essential. Finally, the storage bag is one those items we do actually use faithfully. This bag has plenty of room, so could store extra rope, another set of stakes, etc. So all in all, we’re happy with this set. We’ll leave our excessively heavy duty set at home and travel with this lighter duty set to our tournaments. Hope this helps you decide either way.

This is generally a good tent. It is super easy to set up and take down, though it is a bit awkward for 1 (small) person to carry and put it in the bag. I love that I can stand up inside. It held up nicely during a windy/rainy night. I have the 3 man. It is good for 1 person camping with lots of room for gear, or 2 people if you like to sleep close. A few things I don't like - 1) there is a small hole where the pull cord goes through the ceiling. I've seen all sorts of creepy crawly things on my tent, and up near the hole. I blocked it up with some foam and velcro, but without that I would be really worried about things crawling in. 2) The gazelle logo in the ceiling reminds me of giant spiders. 3) Like lots of people mention, the doors are weird. You have to turn sideways and it's a big step to get in/out. The locations are weird too. Normally you might sleep 2 people with one on each side of the tent. However with these door locations being in the corners, you can't really do that. I am generally happy with this tent, but might also look for something else with an easier entrance, or one I can share with a friend but not have to sleep super close to each other.

Great fit for SUV back doors. Having 2 zippers on the solid cover flap is great to be able to zip them down just a little bit for air flow but avoid rain.

I bought this tent for myself (solo camper) and am very happy with it. The clips system made it super easy and fast to pitch myself. I was worried about the waterproof-ness, having been camping in wet conditions before, so I was concerned when the first two days of this camping trip was rain rain rain. This tent was great! Not a wet drop entered the tent ANYWHERE! I had my own tarp for a ground cloth which kept the damp from seeping up. All the seams are sealed and the inside remained dry. I felt confident I could leave my clothes, bedding and gear inside without any risk. The tent is small but great for 1 person and gear. There’s enough head room to kneel inside and not hit the top, but I’m a small person at 5’2”. I think this is great for the solo camper or for two if just sleeping inside. The center inside has a hook for your lamp and a button-in net for storage. Perfect for items you might need to keep off the ground. Each corner also has a storage pocket which makes finding your glasses or phone super easy. I only used one door but I was impressed with the rain fly doors. There are two, one on each side, but one side has a double zipper opening which can form a vestibule flap, while the other side has a traditional single zip so you can open it and pullback each side. My only notes are that condensation builds up on the underside of the rain fly. The entire top of the tent is net so all the humidity goes up to the fly. I def had to shake off the condensation multiple times to get it to dry off. Also, get some extra stakes. I used four to anchor my ground tarp so I was short some stakes for all the guy lines. I used some sticks instead since the ground was so wet and the guy lines really help pull the fly taught and keep it away from the tent. Overall this is a great tent with many features and lots of bang for the buck. I recommend it!

I love it portability, it’s easiness and setting up. You’ll be set up in less than two or three minutes with one person doing it. It has a wind tunnel on the top so the tent won’t flap outward on you, it actually comes with a sun wall and even a table! I have paid the same price for just the umbrella without the sun wall or the table and less quality. It’s super easy, and super great. The only thing that I would say is you can comfortably put two people under maybe three you can comfortably put four people if it’s two adults and two children, the corner beams also have pockets where you can put things like your keys and cell phone to make sure Santa doesn’t get in them or accidentally bury them. The sun will also has compartments in it for sand to weigh it down so it doesn’t flap in the wind. You can also use it in your backyard.

I really like the space in this tent. For two people backpacking, you could share the 5.5lbs weight and have plenty of room for two pads, plus headroom. Don't be fooled by the cats in the picture, the black and white one is a 22lb large, think more small-mid sized dog. There's space for him as well as my single bed size inflatable mattress. I do wish there were tabs on the ends of the rainfly to stake it out a bit more from the tent netting. The tent has clips to attach to the poles, but the rainfly uses ties. Maybe lighter, but a pia. Still, for the price, size, and weight I'm pleased.

Shipping was quick, but tent is a little narrower than I was planning on. Still excited to use it very soon would be even better if it would accommodate four people rather than just two.

Used this lots of times now. Even used it on a three day camping trip to the ocean and it worked well in high winds. This canopy morphs by moving the poles around to block sun. The pegs it comes with are a nice addition for using on lawn type set ups. Everyone who walked past our beach site had questions about it so be prepared to be bothered randomly lol This thing is light, easy to setup and works. Great for a party of 4 My only complaints are as follows. The material should be doubled up or reinforced in pole areas The stitching needs better quality control as there are threads coming lose everywhere. The material is basically stretchy shirt type fabric. It works tho. Overall I’d say buy this if you are hitting the beach it shape is perfect for that environment. For a yard maybe something more traditional or else you will look like the neighborhood crack house.

This is worth 5 stars overall for stability in wind once assembled but it’s just a *bit* tricky to assemble. First of all, it really does require 2 people or else it’s going to be at least significantly more difficult with one. It’s basically an umbrella, which is good for set up. Other “cabanas” can be kind of tents, with multiple parts and or complicated set ups. But this is basically like deploying an umbrella. A few tricky points and tips below. You’ll want to bury it in the sand farther than the directions say (the blue line on the bottom pole). Especially if it’s at all windy. The bottom pole has a screw to screw into the sand instead of digging a hole. It comes with a small rod that you put through the two button holes that later lock the top part in place. The small rod is used as a handle to screw the bottom into the sand. Again go past the blue line. The pictured finished “cabana” shown was assembled on a day quite windy (10-20 mph winds) and stood steady for the whole day without further attention. Note, the little table doesn’t come with this that was purchased separately. As I said it’s easy enough but for two crucial steps. One, when you open up the umbrella top portion the red lever (pictured) that holds it in place is a bit difficult to release (the latch) and open up the umbrella part. It’s not spring loaded like usual hand held umbrellas in other words. But with one person holding the end level, and the other releasing the red latch it’s easy enough to open I suppose. Just takes a bit of force. Secondly, and this is the trickiest part, the silver pop out buttons that lock the upper to the lower rod as shown, are not obvious how to line up when guiding the (somewhat top heavy) umbrella into the lower rod. What would help really is if they were made with some kind of guide marking, so you could line the two parts up and keep them lined up as you slide the top part into the bottom. Line a red or white line on both parts so you could keep them lined up to make the silver pop out buttons easily snap into place as they got to the holes. Otherwise, as you can imagine, it’s like a guessing game trying to find at what level and position the buttons are to get them to snap out of the holes. Takes a bit of focus and strength to keep the top lined up to the bottom as you guide it down to where the holes are. You’ll also want to be sure both buttons snap in place sometimes one of them isn’t quite lined up. Again with two people this process is easier. I intend to paint some guide lines on the poles to simplify this step in the future. Other than those two issues it works great. And stays in place even in high winds. One final piece of advice: dig a small hole for each of the 4 sandbags and put them in the hole after you fill the bags with sand. They seem to be even more stable when you do that (instead of just laying them on the sand). It can accommodate a person about 5’8” tall when assembled, without crouching down, even if you bury the center rod past the blue line. If you stop at the blue line (on non windy days) might even go to 5’10” although never tried stopping at the blue line.

Its very sturdy and functions great. ONLY THING I RECOMMEND before buying is looking at the width dimensions of your chair and check the dimensions of the canopy itself. My chair wasn’t wide enough. but, my dad helped me out and he just drilled holes into my chair and screwed the canopy to it, and it can remove it if i wanted. I’ll try and add photos of what he did with a closer look! But this is the chair with it on (: also using this for my ISUP,

As a first timer purchasing a pop up tent, I love how simple this product makes it for the person to use. It comes with very simple to follow instructions to pop up and to pop down (3 minutes max for a first timer both ways). It’s true to size and sturdy, easy to clean material. I purchased to take to the beach to allow my nephew some shade (with a powered fan), super easy to use and honestly makes my life a lot easier. This would be really handy for anyone to have whether for camping (the two zip doors are great to let in fresh air and no bugs during the days). It would even be a fun activity for the kids during the day in the garden and it will be an adventure for them and super easy for you to pop up and let them use and then put away again once used. Very good quality and great value for money!

This is a great tarp for many reasons. First off, it is very lightweight and easy to work with. The tarp itself weighs only 2.6 lbs, is waterproof, and has a slick feel to it so water will slide right off. The stakes and ropes weigh 1.13 lbs, and the carry bag weighs .2 lbs. Total is 3.93 lbs. It fits nicely into the oversized carry bag, which I appreciate since many other camping items with carry bags barely fit into them. There are only two heavy duty stainless steel triangular grommets on the tarp located on the center ridgeline of the tarp. As you can see in the photos, these special grommets are sewn into reinforced nylon tabs so they cannot pull out. The other places for rope attachments are in the four corners of the tarp and in the center of each long side on the edges. They are nylon loops, also sewn into reinforced nylon tabs on the tarp.This is far better than grommets that just pull out in wind or when under any kind of stress. The tarp is lined with a dark, waterproof undercoating which will also block out sunlight. This is important if you are using it to protect you from the weather while sleeping in a hammock. The eight stakes are heavy duty steel, and look like giant nails with heavy duty molded plastic ends on which to tie the guylines. This is important because if you only have two trees on which to hang your hammock and tarp, the corners must be staked down to the ground. So, you have the options to use ropes tied to a tree or to use the stakes in the ground. One thing to note: My set did not come with the metal butterfly rope adjusters as shown on the website photos, Just a very long length of nylon rope and the stakes. I highly recommend this tarp as a lightweight alternative to other kinds of tarps, picnic blankets, tent flies, or other waterproof covering needs.
