Pros: definitely lightweight. Tarp seems well stitched and durable. It is also HUGE. Cons: everything other than the tarp is fairly to very cheap. There's no instructions/recommendations (at least a wind rating would be nice). Details: The tarp has 5 light plastic rings and it comes with 5 or 6 long, thin cords with rectangular bits on the end. I ended up threading one through the other (pic 1) and wrapping the rope around each tree. (So I had my hammock between 2 trees, the tarp above it similarly, staked on either side). So, the stakes: 4 red aluminum (pretty sure) stakes with rope loops on the end. Way too big for the little plastic ring on the tarp, if you're wondering. So I took the ~6' rope and tied it to the stake and tarp, leaving a lot of it on the ground. The stakes are so flimsy that it's difficult to drive them without bending them (pic 2. This was the second use.). I'm not very big or strong. They also came up rather easily with only a bit of wind, especially on the side that drove easily due to soft soil. So I ended up several times with one or both sides flapping stakes around and having to redrive them in the rain. The first time I used it (decent sized storm) it worked rather well. Annoying to put up but kept me dry. The second time was just as annoying but I had way more issues with the stakes, including one (pic 3) breaking when I tried to bend it back (by hand- again, I'm pretty small). I'm probably going to get steel stakes like my tent and maybe hammock straps and carabiners to make it easier. Edit: I emailed support and they replied very quickly and were happy to send me replacement stakes. +1 star for customer support! Please let me know if I've missed an instruction pamphlet, wind ratings, directions, etc. I'm happy to update this if the mistake is my own.

These are easy to install and work great how ever be sure to check the crimp connections where the cables make a loop. 2 of the 4 cables i received pulled right out and were already drove in the ground.

I bought this camp shower tent to use for when I’m traveling with my baby. He won’t sleep without it being totally dark and without him seeing us, which doesn’t work for a shared hotel room. This was the perfect solution! Way cheaper than the SlumberPod, and I think it’ll actually have more uses as my baby grows up too. Super happy with my purchase. My only slight complaint is that I wish it folded down a little smaller, because it’s definitely going to need to be in checked baggage.

Easy to carry, not bulky. If it’s windy, you have to put it in a place where you can tie the four corners securely. It can easily be flown away.

Used this over the weekend as waterproof barrier for my text and it rained cats and dogs. This thing worked really great. No leaks whatsoever. The guy lines are flimsy and small. The stakes are also poor quality but would perform. I used 550 paracord and heavy duty tent stakes. Very happy with tarp worth the money but only 4 stars because of low quality guy lines and stakes.

This tent was very simple for my son and I to put together, easier with a second set of hands but not required. The instructions took a minute to follow, but the idea is straightforward once you get it-just put the 2 poles together, put each through the ring on top and attach at the bottom on opposite (diagonal) sides, then clip the plastic clips on the poles along the 4 edges. Finally clip the bottom on with the buckles and you're done. The zipper doors are on two adjacent sides and have double zippers that work well. It provides a safe place with shade and free from bugs. It is a good size and I can easily stand up inside. I'm pleased with this tent!

I recently purchased this 3-person Sierra Designs tent for an upcoming backpacking trip with my Dad and Daughter. It is very light and setup is very fast like the other Sierra Designs two person tent I bought last year. The new tents are just so well thought-out and that really makes things stress-free when you’re out in the backcountry. I’ve been very satisfied with the (5) Sierra Designs I’ve purchased over the last 20+ years. They’re always on top of innovation and doing thing to keep their customers happy with their tents.

I don’t know how to rate this, because the first one broke the first time we were trying to fold it back. One of the connections snapped and broke. I really needed a screen house for camping, so quickly ordered another one. It worked well. At night a bear came and tried to lift it from one of the corners. A few times. Then it came to my car and tried to open the door. What a night. But it did no damage to the screen house, so that’s good. I’ll probably return the broken one and keep the second one. Plus, when it arrived, I realized that it matches my tent, which is also Core. Love that tent. The screen house is worth the money and so useful to have when camping. How long it will last - the time will tell. I don’t think I’ll want to camp again in the bear country though. I thought I ordered a new one, but it arrived with a sticker “whatcampingtent.com Warehouse.” Are those used ones? The internal box looked damaged. But the screen looked ok, so I’ll close my eyes on this. The only minus is that it’s not so comfy to bend each time to unzip it. Maybe in addition to zip it could also have self-closing magnets? Like the ones we have on the door screen. But these are just some ideas. If you don’t walk in & out very often, then it should be fine.

Quality of material has held up through many setups across different terrains. Even though material does seem thin. Space… I’m 6’ 200lbs on a good day. The length of tent is fine but if trying to tuck in an extra backpack or have to reach for your feet to close or open your sleeping bag or whatever by your feet you find it hard to reach. Head room while sleeping is fine. Waste line to feet is a tight area. Width and length seem fine, could use more height. Ventilation after settling in seems fine otherwise very warm first 20/30 minutes. Use a small portable fan in pocket near head /ventilation area to help especially during summer time. I am a warm blooded person. Otherwise not to bad with just airpad and sheet. Water resistance from above is good. I sprayed scotch guard for water repellant after first uses just as additional protection. But handled short light rain periods fine but heavy rain it did not until spraying additional water guard above. If ground saturated it seems to eventually soak through bottom like condensation. Use a cutout garbage as barrier and works good. If humid or rained there is condensation inside of tent which was always normal tent camping in my experience. Overall probably is good as any other portable tent /bivy I’ve used. Biggest issues is space for reaching near mid waist to feet area otherwise is good.

Exactly what I needed!! I live on a corner lot townhome & was looking for some privacy while I sunbathe. At first, since my house is situated on what seems to be a wind tunnel sometimes, the Wallup seemed semi-flimsy when a small breeze passed through. I arranged the stakes in a manner that makes the wall up more taut and placed the ground stakes in harder ground around my concrete slab. It moves around a bit, but has stood up to some storms and windy conditions without issue. I do wish they offered one longer than 12 feet. I still have about 6 feet of coverage needed to achieve maximum privacy!! Overall, good purchase, sturdy & super easy installation!!

This tent is very spacious. We had a queen size blowup mattress, aluminum folding camping table, sectioned off 1/8 for a toilet room, multiple totes with supplies and still had room to spare to move & dress without feeling cramped! Setup: took about 15-30mins with primarily myself, but extremely easy set up. -Roll out and flatten/stake the 8 floor points. -put center beam up from inside/ensuring the “cord cup” is on the bottom footer. -install the 8 outside rods & stakes. Clip rods to side walls. -double check exterior rods are as true vertical as possible tightening/releasing from the outer stakes to assist. -Move in! Camping experience: With sun hitting tent it warmed up inside quickly. However, the easy to use cord&flap system attacked to inner main pole allowed the air to vent up, plus all 8 exterior walls are screened windows and/or doors! The only thing you need to worry about is if you need hearing from a Stove Jack Style System, be sure it is to a side or rear wall. We used a MrHeater Buddy and kept comfortable warm while using it all night! There are plastic rings top & bottom at each internal wall corners, in addition to a fabric one half way up interior ceiling inline with corners. We tied a light weight sheet to two sets to section off a toilet room only using less then 1/8th of the tent…since it didn’t go all the way to center. Breaking camp: -Remove outer most 8 stakes and exterior pull rods. -Remove internal main pole. Enduring even laying of tent onto the floor section. -Remove 8 flooring stakes from their points. -Roll up tent, ensuring it is dry from any dew or moisture first. -stow away. Overall: this is a great tent and we were the envy of most whom saw it at the YuleVikingFestival in Kilgore Texas. Beware: You must have an active heating source inside to keep warm, although well made…tent does not store heat for long. As stated earlier, just a MrHeater Buddy doing 6-9k BTU of heat during the night kept us nice and toasty. I have already shared link with multiple new friends, so order before they get them all!!!

Pros: extremely fast up, good ventilation, handy ceiling "hammock", interior lantern hanging spot, packs down fairly small, takes down faster than regular tent, tub floor Cons: very small - not for anyone over 5'9", room for only 1 person plus gear, hard to get back into bag, thin material, tiny rain fly, This would be a great tent for 1-2 children wanting to sleep outside in the back yard or maybe while car camping. But if you are tall enough to easily pop it open you are likely too tall to fit in it. The measurements were taken at the very base of the walls, but the curve inwards quite a bit, immediately reducing useable space. It does have plenty of screen windows that can be opened for ventilation...until it rains. Then they better be shut. I would consider a tent this size and quality to be disposable for use at a music festival or other place where you need easy shelter, but there are plenty of cheaper choices for tents for those situations.

I could not be happier with the privacy tent, or as I have dubbed it my “poo palace”. I was a little skeptical at first because there were no review yet. But I liked the description and also the fact that it wasn’t made in China, so I went ahead and ordered it. I am so glad I did! So much attention to detail like the LED light that you can set to come on when you step inside the tent at night. Awesome! It’s a pop up tent so I practiced it at home before using it in the wild. Pop up tents can be challenging to dismantle, but there are instructions and also a video to watch in order to practice. I also love that there is an email address on the included instructions to contact the owner. He is extremely passionate about the products he has designed and is able to answer any questions. Next I will be looking at adding a shower head to use with it. My husband thinks I’m crazy but who cares. I need to be comfortable if I’m going tent camping at my age!

I had a tepui a few years ago and at 116 pounds, I found it hard to lift onto my car. This tent weighs 90 pounds which makes a huge difference for me. My first trip it only dropped my MPG by about 1 MPG. It is small, 2 people, but you’ll be cozy! Definitely worth it and a nice buy!

These stakes are super heavy duty and have a ton of holding strength! Before using these you're definitely going to want a impact driver with a 15mm socket so that you can install them quickly. The tool they provide works in a pinch but is very slow. Additionally if you hit a big root or rock you won't be able to get through it and will need to move the ground screw to a different location in order to get it installed, the powered impact is pretty much necessary.
