I have a toy and a miniature poodle that I like to give room to roam in the yard. The (a) Eurmax USA Heavy Duty Anchor Kit Dog Tie Out Ground Spiral Anchor Stake for Trampoline, Tents, Tarps, Canopies,Car Ports,Dog Tie Out,Bonus Dog Tie Out Cable(Silver) - importantly inserted on an angle - with one of these (b) Pandengzhe Locking Carabiners lets the "kids" play without their (c) small 15' Frisco Tie Out 15' cables getting tangled. The strong Carabiner's "foot" rotates as they run back and forth, and the Anchor has yet to budge when they make a mad dash to chase a bird or squirrel. They - and I - could not be happier!!!
First of all, I'll do the pros last. A tent and any gear really, for outdoor use, should be gaged on its durability. Originally I was going to give this tent a 3 and update it after actually using it. But after some short term plans with friends I had a good opportunity to use it a week after buying it. I took a trip from Utah to Banff, Canada. I'm an avid hiker and camper and for short term review would say this is a 35$ tent, not a 100$ tent. I thought I could bypass the 250$ 3 man tents, and go with a no brand name middle class one, since I'm not hiking mount. Everest or anything, but still quite the trip. and it has worked in the past Cons: -Very low durability. -Stakes that bend very easy, even for not that hard or ground. -Tent does not breath very well (however worked well in the rain for me and my brother to keep warm) -Vents are supported by foam that will undoubtedly ware out after 3 months of avid use. like I would use it. - ripped either before I used it or day 1 while setting it up since that was when I noticed it.(picture included) I believe it was before I used it since I treat my gear like royalty. - probably is related to the rip, but several places the stitches seemed less than good - instructions and info not in English. (Usually spells cheap after seeing that :( - logo was partially rubbed off when I got it, making me think this item may have been previously returned. - (this us usual but still deserved a mention) description says 3-4 man. Mine is definitely a 2 man, maybe they sent me the wrong one, but I doubt it. It would be hard to even FIT 3 sleeping bags without people. FORGET the gear. I really wanted to like this tent. But again, tent material feels cheap and plastic-y, again not 100$ feel. Pros: -For a 2 man tents, great design -color of orange is nice to be honest - outside mess area created by the rain tarp is a good size for shoes and maybe an extra duffle bag or small pack - the tent DID hold up to very heavy rain, even when setting it up and noticing the rip, all gear stayed dry after at least 36 hours of letting it sit as well as sleeping in it - the ceiling of the tent is a nice height to where a 6ft person like me cam sit up in the middle no problem. - the base seems to be a slightly tougher material which I was pleased to see. - no complaints about the tent fitting back in the bag!! Which if ANYTHING, deserves the star! Like I said I really wanted to like this tent but for it's quality and the issues I did have with it, the price is way way way to much. If the quality was better, and I didn't see Chinese looking instructions that I couldn't read. Then it would be a fine tent to take on a road trip with you significant other. Me and my girlfriend dealt with this tent for a week, still have a couple days to go so I'm littiraly writing this while on the trip! After the fact I'll be returning this for sure, especially since it seems it came ripped and possibly defective with bad stitching. So I'll update my review on how returning it went. As well as post something on the seller feedback it it's a problem.
Didn’t really provide very much shade unfortunately. It’s not very big.
This tent was great while camping in the Mojave and in the high desert of Utah. It's basically a screen with a rainfly. Even with the fly on, there's excellent ventilation--huge doors. And if a storm blows in (as it did in Southwestern Colorado), you just zip down the fly. I doubled the number of guy lines at each corner to increase its resistance to wind. The tent itself sets up in minutes; the fly is a bit more complicated, but you get better with practice. It uses buckles instead of hooks (no snagging on the take-down) and clips instead of those pole sleeves (much simpler). We even used it on a warm night in Missouri. A great tent from Eureka!, who's been a little stagnant on innovation until now.
Love this! I'm actually in love with ENO as a brand. Ive been completely satisfied with all the products I've purchased from them. It just so happened to rain the first time I took this camping. Slept in it overnight, so comforting to be under since I'm used to only camping in tents, being out in the open makes me feel vulnerable. It held up in the rain great & water beads off of it. I don't like putting my things away wet but at times you have to. The only thing that got wet were my hammock straps. It's super light & packs away easily, I carry my hammock system with me just about everywhere I go! I can even fit my MSR groundhog stakes into the bag with the rainfly (4stakes not included). I feel like I would've been sleeping in water had I been in my tent, which I sat up as a backup but only ended up using it to store things. The second time I set it up solely to use as shade. Cousin & I sat our hammocks up one above the other & put the rain fly over us just so we could relax out of the heat of the sun & this was a great experience as well. You would think because it's black it would be hot under it but it was awesome! Great purchase, I'd buy it again for sure.
Missing pieces, no instruction manual, a corner spike loop is detaching, not waterproof. + It seems like there are pieces missing. 5 Al tent spikes, bivy tent, 1 elastic tent pole, and 3 containment bags. There are more loops on the tent, seemingly vacant of tent poles or something. + No instruction manual. + After 3 hours of completed placement, the right foot-end loop is detaching from the bivy corner. Wind 5 mph. +Waterproofing disproven. Rain resistant, yes; not proofed. Also, water from ambient humidity enters vent, then coolness condenses the water upon fabric and everything in bivy. Nothing is waterproof. If it is, then it is insufficiently ventilated. Day 1, env. conditions: 74°F, Sunny, not a single cloud, very windy gusts (15-20mph max) to none, Texas, nonwet hard-sand ground. Unwrapped tent and components. Pushed 1 tent pole through loops into ground. Solid. Continued to the 4 remaining. Solid, absolutely. Pushed through 1 elastic structural pole. A bit nervous it might break. Solid. Unzipped, entered, layed down, dwelled for 30 minutes. Windy cndtns failed to remove planted spikes, ventilation is adequate, given my locale under the unshaded direct Texas winter sun. May need a pad to protect floor from rocks, sticks, or some other unseen or wind-driven object arriving underneath. Observing floor, noticed the structural support strap - assumingly engineered to absorb the force from the structural pole - is not absorbing all the tension from the pole. The force is also transferred to the floor membrane. Hopefully the joints' reinforcement tape and seems will hold over time. I like the presence of integral mosquito net, ventilation, minimalistic volume, low weight, and stealthy color. I do believe their should be closeable vents at the foot, for a wind-tunnel effect on hot days, and shut in those cold. Day 22, env con: Range ~(60,85)°F (sunny,drizzle) [~(0,35)MPH (Constant,jerking)]winds (Day,Night) Texas, semi-hard sand. Spiders prefer housing beneath the flaps, but for some reason not the vent. Good thing for the bug net AND rain flap cover with double zipper. Leave you rain flap open during sun drenched hours to dry innards, close before sundown to prevent or reduce innards' water condesates from accumulating. All seems holding after at least 3 long events of gale force winds and gusts. Hard mat or footprint required. About my area are grassy sprouts of hard, spikey grass shoots. A doublefolded tarp, properly placed, was nominal for diverting shoots from hole poking the bivy bottom. I would suggest selling this tent to include a simple roll of hard durable plastic. Increased price, of course, but worth the cost of searching for a hard plastic roll on my own with no results. Maybe like an HDPE roll of thickness 1/16 or 1/8 with length and width exact to bivy bottom. I am not an engineer, just a thinker. Day 100 It's hot AF in bivy during day. Tonight, being surprisingly cool, is still hot in this bivy. Can't get any ventilation, without a wide open flap. Open flap exposes my skin onto the integral bug net, which lies directly on skin. Skeeters bite through net. What does that mean for spiders and ticks...? The rubber bottom rubs off with every shifting movement, leaving little rubber "rolling pins" everywhere. I'll very likely just buy a single person Walmart tent. Vibrant colors, but at least I'll reduce the chance for catching disease or a necrotic spider bite. Walmart single person tent is soooo much better. Verily.
My daughter asked me to buy this tarp for our outdoor trip. I use this as shelter and sun and rain cover over tents. We covered two tents with this. It comes with a storage bag. This tarp is very convenient and easy to install. It took me very little time to assemble. Great value for the money!
UPDATE: I received a response from the company that the sagging was due to the central hub (at the top of the tent) not being pressed down. So, I set up the tent again, making sure to activate the hub. This did improve the sagging issue significantly; however, I still feel that the long sides of the tent do need more support (ideally in the form of vertical poles). On second setup, I also noticed that there was hook at the top of the internal divider curtain that can be attached to a loop on the ceiling of the tent; this helps with the interior sagging issue. These two things were enough for me to reclassify this from 2 stars to 4 stars. The tent is actually usable now, yay! If they added more vertical support to the long sides, I feel this could be 5 stars. ************** I see all kinds of glowing reviews for this shower tent and I just don't get it... did I get a bad run? First of all, using the tiedowns is a must; this tent will take off (or just fall over) at the slightest breeze. There was a light wind when I was setting it up; I almost threw up my hands and gave up just then, because the tent kept falling over in the breeze and collapsing in on itself while I was in the middle of getting it staked. Once I got the bottom stakes and the tiedown stakes in, I was doubly-disappointed to discover that the tent was not taut in the slightest. I double-checked my staking and everything was tight. I think the tent needs additional poles in the middle of the long sides to provide support... without those, the fabric just sagged and was blown inward by the wind (check out my photo of the interior divider panel). I am just really disappointed and I can't figure out why so many people are giving it a 5-star review. Maybe they never actually set it up outside? Ultimately, I didn't even put the rain fly on or test my portable shower in it because I was so frustrated with the structure/design of the tent.
Tough straps included and good netting. The round bands keep the netting from falling on your face. Nice side pocket holds phone etc. Easy to get in and out of. No hassels transport. Can hold a good amount of weight.
This thing really is big enough to provide shade for two beach chairs plus assorted extra stuff (beach bags, towels, a cooler, etc.). It’s easy to carry and pretty simple to set up, though the directions are a tad oversimplified. It definitely provides sun protection! On a sunny, 80-degree day with light wind, the temperature under it was distinctly lower than in the sun (actually almost uncomfortably cooler, since we were dressed for hot weather), and someone who sat on the edge of the shade got slightly sunburned, but only on the arm that was in the sun. Used in umbrella mode, it did vibrate in the wind slightly more than the standard beach umbrellas around us seemed to, not sure why. Opening the mesh window helped reduce that. For reference, it comes in three pieces, one being the anchor that you twist into the ground. You then have the option to connect one or both of the other pieces to use it as either a shelter (with one side staked to the ground) or as an umbrella. The pins for the anchor are attached with string so you can’t lose them, but one of the strings was tied too short for the pin to come out and had to be untied and redone. The carry/storage bags seem decent quality and everything fits back into them pretty easily. When packed up, the umbrella is on the long side, stretching across basically the whole back seat of a 2004 Chevy Equinox. I like that the print is beachy without being in your face and the colors blend into a natural setting. The design looks welcoming and is easy to identify from a distance, and it’s convenient to have the versatility of using it as either a shelter or an umbrella.
It's smaller than the picture. Loose threads everywhere, missing loop, holes on tent body, low quality tent bag, single zipper on doors, ...
I've been waiting for years for a tent like this to hit the market. After camping in the old Polish surplus lavvu tent for a few years, I was ready to upgrade to something more spacious. I knew that I wanted to stick with canvas, and the options out there are limited... and pricey. This tent from Onetigris fits my needs and my budget. For my first trip out I spent a week in Northern Pennsylvania, where the nighttime temps dropped into the forties. My stove kept me warm, and the tent kept me dry after a night of steady rain. Setup is simple, and my first impression of the components is that they are of good quality. I only wish that the entrance section of the tent had a snow skirt to seal out the cold. The plastic retaining toggle for the stove jack cover also melted from the heat of my chimney. I guess I'll have to find a metal one. Other than those details it has been a great tent.
My family and I have lived near the beach all our lives. We've gone through many a beach umbrella and know what to look for when shopping for one that will last. First let me say that not everyday at the beach is terribly windy but it only takes one windy day to destroy a slightly flimsy beach umbrella, canopy, or cabana. I spent a few days shopping, reading reviews, and watching videos before I purchased this "cabana." It was on sale at the time and that was a nice bonus. It arrived on time and we'll packaged several days ago. We finally took it out yesterday and love that it comes with it's own carry case. When we got to the beach it was a bit windy but not bad.. Yet. Pro tip: bring a small shovel with you so you can easily dig down about 24" before you place the base of the main pole and twist it down even deeper. If you don't want to chase your umbrella down the beach, do this first! Once we had the pole set nice and deep, and the sand was compacted well around it, we had the rest of the umbrella up and the "legs" and back attached and anchored in about 3 minutes. Very easy! We filled the pockets at the bottom of the legs and back attachment with sand and our cabana didn't move at all for the next 6 hours. This is surprising because the wind continued to kick up as the day went on, and it got almost unpleasant. We watched other beach-goers umbrellas flip inside out, get blown out of the sand and blow down the beach. This is a fantastic product, I highly recommend purchasing this canopy.
Me and my fiancé have 2 toddlers , a 15 year old and a 110 lb dog that all fit in this tent. We put two queen size air mattresses on one side with a cot and dog bed with all our bags on the other side and still have plenty of space to walk. It’s pretty light weight and is waterproof. My fiancé can set it up by himself but is easier with two people. It has a divider in the middle to have two rooms and has lots of windows and doors for air flow.
This tent was a game changer for our days at the beach! So easy to set up, great quality and looks cool too! I admired people that had one, and now that I decided to buy one, now people come up to us asking where i got it! I highly recommend!
