I suspect they would hold anything my only complaint is we ended up drilling into the ground with a drill and then driving these with a hammer. Idk what drill bit these took but none of our drill bits fit. Maybe splurge and include the drill bit needed.
This is a rain fly for a hammock, allowing you to essentially pitch a tent over your hammock. Looking forward to trying it out for real, but it looks like it will work well.
The size of this tent is perfect for one or two adults...and REALLY easy and fast to set up. This makes this a great weekend grab-n-go tent to spend some peaceful moments at the lake or deep in the woods. There's tons of ventilation and mesh screen to keep out bugs and crawlers. The tent poles are sturdy, and the kit comes with stakes (they're skinny but they work), and nylon tie outs. The whole shebang weighs less than 8lbs, so it'll do nicely for a short hike. I'll be waterproofing mine as always. It packs back up easily and quickly. Good quality tent for a person or two to enjoy a few days adventuring in the great out doors.
The canopy is made of thick, heavy material used to block the sun. It’s the same material as those UV sun shirts which is awesome. It’s big enough to fit my family underneath. I love that it comes with a bag to carry to the beach too or even a picnic at a park honestly.
We're in a wind prone area and there are times in the winter where we worry about losing a section of fence. With some 1/4" synthetic winch rope, we're creating a few tie-down points along the fence to stabilize it in high wind situations. These rebar stakes are perfect. Like a tent stake driven in at an angle, these allow me to postpone re-building the fence until spring. The ends have been ground to a chisel point and the almost 1/2" rebar is folded into a 180 degree bend that grabs the earth and gives a solid point of contact. I like 'em. I can see other uses with patio covers, popup canopies, and other semi-permanent structures that need a little help remaining in place. Simple, effective and stout.
It's a unique situation when a family pulls up stakes at the end of tent camping event, and everything makes it back into the bag. That's where this Tent Kit comes in really handy. I even use it to supplement weaker components in our tent. Here's what's to like: - The provided stakes are 10" long, made from 1/4" steel - making them very tough - by far more tough than the majority of stakes (usually plastic, or really thin metal) provided with most tents these days. They have nice thick plastic loop catchers for anchoring the floor loops or holding guy lines. - The hard rubber mallet is up to the task of driving in those stakes and has a hook on the handle in order to pull them back up. - Three spare guy lines are provided that already have adjusters attached, making them easy to use should an OEM guy line fail or get lost. - Even the little broom and dustpan are useful as their small size allows even the sharpest of corners to be swept up. - The patch kit has patches for tent fabric or rain cover, the tent floor and even for the mosquito netting. - The carrying bag fits in about any skinny area. Some gotchas though: - Step on the dustpan or broom, and they're likely destroyed. - Since the stakes are held in a pouch at an end of the bag, if the bag is inverted, there's a good chance a few will find their way out. - The kit is almost as expensive as many family tents these days (but that speaks more to how price-pointed current family tents are), but still... Overall, I think this kit is worth it though.
I bought this tent as part of my quest to get lighter gear for our family before next summer’s adventures. I was stoked to see an affordable 3 person tent that weighed less than 5 pounds, according to the item specs. However, I wasn’t too surprised when it came and it was actually closer to six pounds. However, I set up the tent and we really like it. Our previous 3-person tent weighed about 6.5 pounds and only had one door and a small vestibule. This one weighs 5.77 pounds and has two doors and two nice vestibules. This is going to make it not feel so claustrophobic when we do use it with three people- no one has to crawl out over two people, and extra gear can be stored in the vestibules. And when the two vestibule doors are open, there’s great airflow through the tent and sunrise and sunset views. The way the doors curve up to the top of the tent lets you see much of the sky- there’s only about 18 inches at the top of the tent between the two doors. These big curving doors also mean that you can step and sit down into the tent instead of diving or rolling into the tent. I also just like how the zippers and stakes of this tent work- they are less annoying than other tent door systems I have used. When the doors are closed it’s a nice aerodynamic shape- cozy and low to the ground but with good ventilation. The only thing that could make the tent better is if it was really the weight they said in the specs!
I do a lot of camping. Usually 8-9 months a year. I have several Teton Sports products, (2 sleeping bags, sleeping bag liners, self-inflating sleep pad, pillow, backpack) and am very happy with all of them. I wanted to find a good 3-season tent. I went with this Mountain Ultra 4P. I camp alone, but don't like to be cramped into a tiny tent. So, I went with this 4P Ultra. I love it! I'm 6'1", 220 lbs., and I'm very comfortable in this tent. I've now used it for an entire season, March through mid-November, with no issues or negatives. The description lists it as a 4-Season tent. I'll go 3-Season, but would be hestitant to try this in 4 seasons. There's a lot of ventilation to this tent, so that fourth season may not work out so well. Setup is easy. The tent is sturdy. It has excellent ventilation. It has doors at both ends, with vestibules. Storage pockets inside, and a place to hang a light. Even though it's water resistant, I always waterproof and seam seal my tents. I've had no issues with leaking. Because of the ventilation quality, I've had no issues with condensation build-up. This really is a fantastic tent for my adventures. I highly recommend it.
I took the shelter to the beach and I’m happy to report that I’m satisfied with my purchase. The shelter is actually pretty big once you deploy it and extend the front mat you can lay down in it.
This is very easy to setup but it is smaller than the photos which are obviously photoshopped as you can see thats a normal camp chair and at best you could fit 2 people in the larger tent. That said it decent quality and is truly a one stage popup shelter/tent. You do need to stake it down if you want it to properly stay upright. It comes with 8 stakes, 4 for the tent and then 4 more to rope it down additionally. I didnt find it necessarly to also rope it down.
The SansBug is a delightful and well-made tent for bug-free sleeping! It is well made, sturdy, quality fixtures, etc. I have slept numerous nights in it already, and they have all been cozy and comfortable and bite free. There is a double-zipper, the mesh is strong and a tight weave, the fiberglass rods are strong and hold it taut and upright, the base is a heavier material which resists wear, all very nice. The only caveats are not problems, just awareness: I am 5'10", and when I stretch out full length, my head and feet gently brush the walls. This isn't an issue for me as I'm a side sleeper, so don't contact the walls normally. I have a cot, and this doesn't work very well on top - the sizes don't match. I use the SansBug on the floor. It is designed for dry weather or to be used under another shelter or indoors. And it's really sized for one comfortable adult, two very loving adults, or however many children will fit. Happy sleeping!
I couldn’t be happier with this 10x13ft hammock rain fly! The quality is top-notch from start to finish. The material is thick and waterproof, holding up great even during heavy rain and higher winds. The grommets are especially impressive—super sturdy and haven’t shown any signs of ripping or wear. It comes with solid ropes, durable stakes, and a really convenient carrying bag that makes setup and storage a breeze. I use it mainly over my hammock, and it completely blocks out the sun and heat, making my lounging time feel cool, calm, and peaceful. This awning gives me the perfect shaded escape outdoors. Whether I'm camping or just relaxing in the backyard, it does exactly what I need. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality rain fly or camping tarp!
Got these to replace the cheap plastic ones that came with the inflatable water slide we got for the kids. These things are beasts! They’re heavy duty and 12 inches long which will really help secure things like our water slide. They might be overkill for a tent though. Super impressed with the quality. They arrived on time and in a plain brown box with no frills. You get 16 of these which is a really good value. They are competitively priced but not matched in quality from some of the other stakes I’ve looked at. Highly recommended!
So far so good. I took it for a little test run and it was just fine. Setup is fast and it definitely keeps the rain and snow off of you. The only downside I see is the pole. I wish it was telescoping for some adjustment. It will be a little bit more difficult to set up if the ground isn't level. I hunt deep in some steep country so that may cause an issue. But it's nothing I can't fix with trekking poles so it's going in my pack regardless!
Super easy to put up and take down! The windows were perfect for airflow, and it kept us cool and out of the sun in the Florida heat.. plus, we also had some light showers and no water got in! I didn't think it was possible to get it back in the bag after the first use but I was wrong, the bag is perfect for carrying it around and it's really light as well. Perfect for 2 adults and a dog!
