    The canopy is great! Very easy to set up and take down. I think what sets it apart from other more expensive canopies is the sun shade. As you can see from the picture the shade provides additional shade. We are able to move the shade with the sand in the pockets as the sun moves. It held up fantastic in the wind. I wish it came in 8x8.

    It was a great tent. My grandson and I recently camped in it. Nice roomy & cozy litter tent. Upon packing it up the frame was stubborn and ended up tearing a big rip in it. I'm hoping to fix it soon unless the company wants to replace it !

    Easy install, great weather protection. Not the lightest shelter but definitely adequate and a great addition to my backpacking gear. Hard not to get the perfect pitch with its shape and accessories included.

    We have used this shelter a lot since getting it. Our last trip was to the beach and this tent was great. The outside flaps were filled with sand and it held up nicely to the wind. Would be nice if the inside window flaps could be zipped, but for most of our use, it was fine. I choose this because all the windows have covers and front opening could be zipped up for a little privacy if you need to change. I would definitely recommend this to people, the build quality is nice and doesn't feel cheap.

    Delivered quickly . Looks great,The frame is sturdy, and the fabric is high-quality and durable. I'm excited for my first camping trip with it!

  • My husband and I love this tent. We SUV camp with our 2015 Honda Pilot and this tent works BEAUTIFULLY! We have camped with beautiful weather and where a storm came out of nowhere and had zero leaks to contend with. Set up is so easy! I am 57 and have zero issues setting up this tent. It takes me about twenty minutes. I will say my 67 year old husband does the attachment to the car, but that is because we camp with our cats. We need to make it extra escape proof. One thing I did notice if extra precautions aren’t taken, there are gaps underneath the car. He has resolved this with the placement of a bin used to carry camping things. Not a big deal. We have also used this tent not attached to the SUV (using an 13 inch air full size air mattress) and it has worked well. A bit tight for me, but it did work. The inside of the tent is huge. You can get an idea from my pics. As weather cools, we are looking to get inflatable furniture to hang out inside the tent for those colder nights and the tent will be able to handle it with no issues! I will say if I had one criticism of the tent, it would be that the zippers are irritating. I can see why people complain about them. I have had several instances where I thought they might tear the tent or they get stuck, etc. The problem wasn’t bad enough to knock it down in my rating though. One last point, we actually had to order this tent twice because the first one we ordered came damaged. Thank god we checked it when it came versus later at the campground because we would not have had a tent.

    I have nothing but great things to say about these little tents! They are perfect for a sleepover party! Huge hit! They take just a couple minutes to assemble. So easy! The colors are super cute and they're the perfect size. Each tent comes with two screws as well as its own allen wrench making assembly even quicker with help. My daughter and nerves were absolutely thrilled with their own tents.

    This is just based on first impressions as have not actually used overnight or on the trail yet and just an initial setup. I will update this once it's gotten some usage. I provide workshops to beginner and novice backpackers who are just getting started or interested in backpacking and one of the biggest questions is how much does this cost? Obviously most people are not going to go out and spend oodles of money on something they don't know they are going to like, so I started putting together several modest budget kits to see what could be done for under $500 and selected this tent as an option. Experienced hikers/backpackers - This is NOT ultralight. I have several 2lb 2-person tents (SMD Haven, Big Agnes TigerWall 2) and I chose this one based on whatcampingtent.com reviews, the listed weight and size, and that it is free-standing which is easier for beginners. For those starting out and fully 2 person tent, it's 5.1 lbs according to my scale (Seller lists as 5.5lb) and this could be stripped down a bit more by swapping out lighter bags (or no bags) for stakes and pole, reducing # of stakes and/or replacing the stakes. I'll have to do more weighing but here is what my scale came up with: Alum Stakes + 4 guy lines in sack: 7 oz. Alum Pole in sack: 14 oz. Fly: 28 oz. Body: 32 oz Total (minus stuff sack): 81oz - 5.09 lb Setup was super easy, I specifically picked this tent because the inner tent clips on to the poles and had a single pole (double-Y) design. The elastic on the pole was just right so that a couple shakes and the pole almost self-assembled. The Y connectors are solid alum disks like on most high-end tents of similar designs and at 14 oz. respectable given the size and space provided by having a cross pole in the center opening the living space. The pole sections are short (10-12 inches) making them fit easier in a pack and the joints have a 1.5-2" connectors for strength and stability. The material is obviously heavier than ultralight tents but they have done a good job of mixing material weights where most needed with heavier (Floor and fly) and lighter (Walls and mesh). There was some less refined edges (fraying material that wasn't trapped in seams or heated) and while the fly is fully seam taped, only the bathtub floor is with side wall seams not (see pictures). The fly comes all the way to the ground, but it wouldn't take much to seal all the seams and for the price, you could easily do this yourself. Only field testing and time will tell how well the seam tape holds up but all tent users/backpackers learn that at some point you have to redo this yourself anyway. The stakes while aluminum are not the typical thin shepherd hook ones found in similar priced tents (and pictured in the product listing). They have gone with slightly thicker ones with an octagon profile so they are light but still felt incredibly strong and they give you 12 of them! You could easily reduce this to 6 (2 for vestibule/doors and 4 for corners) The Double-Y pole gives lots of head room though that could make it a sail in the wind. To combat this they have included 4 guy out points on the fly allowing you to better secure everything. This is one way you can reduce weight. Since it's free standing with the pole inserting into grommets at each corner and the fly clipping to those same corners, when using the fly you don't need to stake the corners of the inner tent and can instead stake down the fly, reducing the # of stakes. This tent floor area is also completely rectangular making it easily 2P or 1P with ALL your gear inside. The zippers on the doors (one on each side) worked smoothly and are built with no way for fabric to snag (even the fly doors) The inner tent doors have double (open either direction) zippers which is nice as you can unzip from the bottom enough to reach out to the vestibule. There are equal sized vestibules on each side which aren't big but enough you could put your shoes, cook pot, etc. under and if using as a 1P you have a back porch! Each end of the fly also has vents that can be opened from the outside to reduce condensation. It would have been nice for the fly doors to have double zippers to allow venting at the top of them as well. I don't see anywhere that they sell a footprint but I have made ones for all my tents out of tyvek with reinforced grommets for the poles and you could easily adapt the fly connectors where you could use the fly without the inner tent and just a footprint and poles. They have included stash pockets in EVERY corner and an overhead gear loft that is detachable. They also include a hook in the center to hang a lantern, etc. but this is the third fault I found as the gear loft when installed prevents use of this hook (see photos). It would be better if they moved the hook to one of the ends so it would be usable along with the gear loft, but the loft installs/removes easily with toggles. Pros: - EASY Setup - Pole snapped together quick (almost on it's own with a couple shakes) - Pole and fly connect easily with clips and grommets - Fly covers all the way to the ground - Great interior space (I'm 5'11" and had easily a foot to spare in length and could almost stretch my arms to the sides) - STASH pockets everywhere - Good stakes Cons: - No Seam sealing on all seams: just those exposed to ground or on fly - Workmanship: some fraying, loose threads and scraps found stuck to it - can tell it was built on a factory line - Weight? Not bad - decent for a starter: 5lbs or $17/lb (in comparison my Tigerwall 2 is $200/lb) Initial thoughts are that this indeed would be a great starter tent for someone getting into backpacking. I've included this tent as part of a sub $500 starter kit I'm compiling (https://www.lighterpack.com/r/m60i3h) and so far this is going to be my go to recommendation for tent as the weight to price to size to feature ratios are excellent. $85, 5.1lb, 32.6 Sq Ft, 2P free standing

  • I purchased this screenhouse through whatcampingtent.com and I was so excited to use it this weekend. I even had it sent to the campground to be sure we have it for the long weekend. When it arrived, we noticed that it was probably a returned item by the way the box had been taped up. I was sorely disappointed when I got into it and realized that there were missing parts!! The following were missing... the rainfly, the stakes and most importantly, the thing you put the batteries in!!! We decided to go ahead and set it up anyway cuz we needed the shelter. While doing so, we noticed a small hole in the big flap thing on the bottom of the structure. It looked like maybe someone hit it while putting in the stakes. Not that big of a deal. We hadn't brought the proper lights because we thought the screenhouse would have sufficient lighting. Let's just say, trying to play games with flashlights is not fun!! Pretty much our weekend was ruined because of this. There was another camper that had the same screenhouse so I asked if we could just borrow the battery pack to see the lights in action. They don't work!!! Actually, they work on the dim setting but when you try to turn on the actual light, only one side of them work. I expect this kind of thing from no name brand items, but not a well known reputable manufacturer such as Core. Highly disappointed! I don't really know where to go from here because I liked the screen house, just don't think I trust Core anymore. Was going to buy the matching tent but now I need to find a suitable replacement. Sad! Sent this exact review to Core's customer service and they told me it was whatcampingtent.com's issue not theirs and I needed to take it up with them!!!! Don't think you can trust Core to solve issues!

    I bought several of these. For having put up Inflatables in my yard. These were the best things you could buy. Especially for the big guys the 15 ft and taller did a great job

    Great color selection and weight, heavy duty construction, and good reinforcement at all the tie points. There are just a few quality of life issues that keep this tarp from getting 5 stars. 1. No grommets! You can see in one of the photos I installed some myself. We aren't always blessed enough to camp near suitable trees and when you need to use poles, the tarp lacks suitable attachment points. 2. The included guy line is pretty short, maybe 7-8 feet each? I have plenty of paracord to use, most of us do, but it would be nice if the included lines were maybe 1-2 feet longer so I didn't have to supply my own. You can always bundle up extra cord, but you can't add more to one that's too short. 3. Stake/cord bag color. The tarp is exactly the same color as the little bag for the stakes and cord, at least with the olive drab one. I'm sure it seemed like a good idea during the design phase but in reality it's not great as you loose sight of the bag entirely if you toss it onto the tarp when setting up or taking down. Making the bag a different color would be an awesome change.
