It was nice..ropes to open alittle akward at first. We bought another at same time and with side by side this lost out. Windows are large and go to bottom..which is great unless it does rain or it sinks some in the sand. Door opens but is same material as tent others are more of a tarp material which holds up longer. It was larger and had a great over hang. Other tent was lighter and had zippers on windows.

This is an incredible tent for under $100! Tents like this are what make companies like Sea to Summit and others, have a lot of explaining to do about justifying their ridiculously high prices. This tent is extremely well built, fully seam sealed, has reinforced corners, reinforced stitching, and some of the best zippers I've ever seen on a tent. The zippers are very heavy duty, but still light and super smooth. I've never seen any quite like them on a tent before. Even the webbing the zippers are made of is a heavier duty webbing than on used most tent zippers. The design of this tent is pretty neat, very well thought out, and uses a pole layout like I've never really seen before. It's a little complicated, but not really too bad, just different. The poles are all connected and go together to make one big double Y shape with a cross pole in the middle that pivots in a circle. The design is also symmetrical with a matching door and vestibule on either long side, and closeable vents on either short side. The poles and components are what really make this tent such a deal and so surprising at it's price. It comes with very high end and ultralight components. The poles are all aluminum and super light. The stakes are these awesome, mini Y, ultralight, aluminum stakes that I absolutely love. The guy lines are very thin and ultralight, but still extremely strong. They look kinda like 240lb paracord, but are thinner at only about 1.5 mm thick and I believe are a different material than paracord. Then lastly it comes with a perfectly fitted waterproof ground cloth. Those are all the type of components that come with $300+ high end ultralight backpacking tents. With this being a backpacking tent it isn't huge inside, but is still plenty roomy enough to fit 2 people with sleeping pads. The sellers picture of the two people laying in it is actually a very accurate depiction. You will have to keep your gear out under the vestibules. Ventilation is great in this tent and it has a 2"-4" gap all the way around between the inner and outer tent, so condensation is not an issue at all. Setup was pretty quick with it taking me about 20 minutes my first time and the rain fly/outer tent taking the most time. Overall I can't say enough good things about this tent. It is an absolutely incredible deal for a 2 person UL backpacking tent. I very much like it and would most definitely recommend it. My picture shows one of the awesome mini Y stakes compared to a standard Y stake. The yellow pull cord on it is also the exact same UL cord used for the guy lines. I like them so much that I will probably be using these stakes for a lot of my other backpacking tents also, and just move them from tent to tent as needed.

Setting the tent up was really easy. It does take close to 15 minutes with two people as never build a tent before. It was easy to install then I thought. It has lots of ventilation on the sides and the top, plus you can just zip them up for privacy, it has a privacy panel on the door so that you can have the screen open and still privacy while you're laying down. Only thing I think would have made perfect if it had 2 zipper to open tent. Much recommended product as it is easy to install and carry anywhere.

Had high hope for this tent, but it failed at every turn. Design is not user friendly and all the materials are low quality, missing many of the basics you find in all modern tents like inside pockets and hanging loops. No rain fly, but supposedly waterproof 🤔. It's not. Had about a half gallon of water in my tent after one night of PNW drizzle on the coast.

Made it much warmer and kept my horses dry when the north wind and rain came in. Will be great for shade during the summer. Put it up in below 30 degrees and rainy weather in just a couple of hours. Has withstood strong winds and rain. My horses love it and actually use it! Bought it immediately after my farrier told me about it and received it in days. Great temporary or permanent shelter that goes up quickly, can be moved, and at a great price!

***Updated. I reached out to let them know about the elastic in the pole snapping, I got a fairly quick response asking for a picture of the issue. I responded I didn't take the time to take a picture and have heard nothing since. One star for "customer service." A friend said, let's go camping. Sure! Haven't been in years, let's go! Living in Washington State, we kept an eye on the wildfires, that would have nixed the trip and there were several near Mary Hill State Park, where we were going. All were out, weather was looking good, fabulous Girl's Weekend ahead. I arrived Friday afternoon and started pitching my spanky new tent. The directions were ok and I'm experienced enough to know the basics. Laid it out and staked it down with the included steel J stakes. It was a fairly soft gravel pad so I used two stakes per corner as one just wasn't really doing the job imo. Next up, putting the poles together. You know the kind, they fold up on themselves with an elastic cord running through them. Now, it's late afternoon, sunset is at 8 pm, gotta get the tent up. First pole, no problem. Second pole, two sections to go and *SNAP* the elastic broke. Insert colorful language. Spent the next 20 minutes rethreading the elastic through the poles; lost the end a couple of times and had to start over. Finally thought to use the key ring to hold the end while I got the next segment ready. Was able to get the ends tied off at last and wrapped some silver wire around the knot to make sure it didn't come undone while putting up the tent. (I had brought my jewelry making supplies, hence the wire.) My friends arrived, we got the tent up. I wasn't impressed with the quality of the fabric and told them "wow are they getting a crappy review!" I had serious doubts about the integrity not only of the elastic but the fabric not getting ripped; it felt thin and that cheap, crinkly type of stuff. Which, I'm a 50 something woman, not rambunctious children and was still huh. Let's see how that holds up. This might last a couple of camping trips if I'm careful. The tent is quite roomy, a double air mattress fit nicely on one side (fairly snug to the wall so not recommended if you're expecting rain. I turned it lengthwise for Sat night and that didn't leave much floor space.) leaving the other for gear etc. I'm 5'8" and had plenty of headroom in the middle. Did send a complaint via whatcampingtent.com about the elastic that evening. The next day, all was well, I hadn't attached the ropes at that point, a mild breeze, didn't need the trip hazard. That afternoon, the Park Ranger comes by to let us know a storm was coming in, expecting winds of 40-50 mph! At that point, I triple stakes the corners and attached the ropes. I had picked up extra tent stakes and am glad I did because they ALL got used. Secured the coolers and gear in the tent just as the winds really started in. That's the video, the beginning of the storm. My friends and I (and the two dogs) watched the storm from the safety of our vehicles. Winds, rain, hail, lightning for just over an hour. I was shocked that my tent was still firmly anchored and there were ZERO rips or tears! I was anticipating the fly at the least to sail away but not so much as a popped stitch! The material I thought was thin and would tear easily? In perfect condition. The poles? I actually had to cut the elastic to get the mangled mess free of the tent. 🤦‍♀️ The neighbor campers lost an entire tent, it went flying off who knows where (they weren't there during the storm) and my friend's tent was a complete loss. This evening I had a message from Camel Crown asking for a picture of the "issue." I responded that I didn't take the time to snap a pic, was too busy rethreading the pole. Admittedly, if I were them, I'd think it was someone trying to get poles replaced because of the storm. I will replace the poles regardless and use the tent again. I'm waiting to see their response, can't comment on their custom service as yet. And to be fair, this tent is NOT rated for 40-50 mph winds and yet, poles notwithstanding, it survived.

This tent was easy to erect. Recommend getting the footprint that acts as a floor to the vestibule. We'll ventilated and being able enter via front or back of tent is really nice. Vestibule on both sides proved really handy. Perfect for motocamping.

Holy Schneikes— this is one helluva phenomenal tent!!! The technology is amazing; it is soooooo incredibly easy to both set up and take down and even fit back into the well-constructed zippered bag it comes in! The first time we used it was an incredible test of its waterproof quality; we were camping up in the mountains of Oregon and an ENORMOUS thunderstorm broke out right overhead, absolutely deluging us in buckets of water. Incredibly, not a single drop made its way inside and we slept warm and dry all night. The only less than stellar comment I could possibly make is that it really is just a two person tent, and definitely no more than that, although there’s also room for your stuff (meaning a couple of duffle bags) to fit inside comfortably, as well. But if that’s what you’re looking for, then look no further because you seriously cannot do better than this one.

Holy moly, used it once, and good luck closing it, then it bent. Don’t buy it if you have kids and are trying to pack at the same time.

This beach canopy works just like a patio umbrella. It’s a one-piece umbrella with a center pole that you push to open and expand the top. It has a square top instead of a round top. Each corner has a hanging canvas drop so you can fill its end pocket with sand for stability. The center pole is extended by a base pole with a spiral tip at the end to anchor into the sand. The whole canopy is light considering its large size. The canvas is not very thick, but it feels reasonably durable and is waterproof. It is easy to open and close and put away in the carry bag. I like its beautiful light blue stripe on white pattern. A big issue with it is that the 2 poles together are too tall relative to the side corner sleeves. There are two height levels but even with the shorter level, it is still too high. You would need to bury the pole down at least 16 inches (including the spiral tip) to get the corner sleeves to touch the ground. This is not always feasible when the beach has packed sand that is hard to dig. Adding another lower setting on the pole would help in this case. Another issue is the length of the bag. It is rather long at 56 inches so I can’t fit it widthwise or even diagonally in the trunk of my SUV (Tesla Model Y). I would need to push the seats forward or fold them down to make room. Lastly, the instruction for the side wall seems misleading. There are snaps at the top but none on the bottom, so the side wall actually hangs and floats, not strapped down at the bottom. A design with a zipper would make it much more convenient and easier to use. I can’t wait to try it out at the beach though. Hope it will work well.

What i got were just simple stakes, and I can't return them because I had to use them (set up trampoline before I opened the box of stakes). Hope the trampoline doesn't fly away before I can get better anchors.

I purchased this tent to stay warmer in the fall and early winter. As seen in the picture, on the left is my 4 person Cabelas Warthog and on the right is my new Alps Mountaineering 4 person Taurus Outfitter. The mesh venting on the Alps is considerably reduced on this tent. Also, you can zip shut the mesh vented windows on both zippered doors. The two top vents are also smaller than those on my Cabela’s tent. I used it this past weekend through two nights of hard rain and night temps that dipped down to 34°. Not a single drop of water leakage and even though I use a 0° sleeping bag in the winter, I left it unzipped and I stayed fairly comfortable in tent tent sleeping in just a T-shirt and boxers. The zippers are way heavier than those on the Cabela’s tent. The tent and fly fabric seems to be the same thickness but the tub floor is heavier. My only negative is that the flap that covers the zippers on the rain fly vestibule doors has a tendency to get stuck in the zipper when opening and closing the zipper. I’d say that this is a good fall and winter tent but I don’t think that I will be using it in the summer. I do feel that it was worth the money.

I love a lot of things about this bivy net tent. 1.) Sets up in seconds 2.) Durable (if you take care of it and fold it right) 3.) Packable - I can just barely fit it in my backpack, but it works. 4.) Perfect size - enough room at the top and sides next to my mat for a few extra items while (water bottle, light, etc.). Feels very open when you're in it. Recommend getting a quality inflatable sleeping mat and a summer sleeping bag or blanket. This makes it really nice. 5.) Breathable - some have said it gets hot, but this is more breathable than my other bivy. It is a very open-air feel and is nice to watch the stars at night. 6.) Two way zipper, makes it easy to get zipped in or out 7.) Full side access - some bivys only let you access through the top end Downside: I plan to use it all year round, just wish this one could purchase a rainfly for it. I have a rain tarp for now.

Love these! So easy to set up and take down ! Absolute genius!!! Takes 2 mins seriously! Great investment if you love camping !

Considering how much more similar size tarps were from Big Agnes or MSR my expectations were not high for a tarp from a brand I was unfamiliar with. We have had two trips using this tarp over a picnic table at a windy state park on the beach and the shade is fantastic, it’s fairly quiet in the wind ( way more quiet than my Noah 16 ) , views are better than the Noah too ( fabric on the sides doesn’t run as low) , stitching is fine, included stakes are great in the fairly loose sandy soil ( I do use some heavy duty sand screws on the front and back cause I have them), included guy lines good ( not super keen on the tensioners included - they need to be snugged up every now and then) , and no leaks in a gulf coast downpour, and standing height maintained at all sides of a regular picnic table with eight foot poles. Gusts were 20+ Mph and 16 mph most of the day today. Great tarp!
