I'm a 65 yr old that wanted something light and easy to put up. This thing is great. Great quality material and very stabile. I've used it twice now and haven't burned under it also as I am very light completed. Would definitely buy again.
I'm thrilled to share my experience with the Eagle Peak Store tent stakes. These heavy-duty galvanized stakes have proven to be an essential upgrade for my tent setup, replacing the less sturdy stakes that originally came with my tent. The heavy-duty nature of these stakes immediately stands out. Their durability and solid construction have given me peace of mind, knowing that my tent is securely anchored even in challenging weather conditions. The heavy-duty plastic anchor piece on top of each stake is a thoughtful design element. This feature ensures that my tent ropes stay in place and don't slip off, adding an extra layer of stability to my setup. The inclusion of extra tie-down ropes is a valuable addition to the package. Having these spare ropes on hand provides flexibility and convenience, especially when setting up the tent in various terrains or conditions. Overall, the Eagle Peak Store tent stakes have significantly improved the reliability and stability of my tent setup. Their heavy-duty build, plastic anchor piece, and included extra tie-down ropes make them a reliable and functional solution for securing my tent. If you're seeking durable and dependable tent stakes for your camping adventures, I highly recommend considering this product from Eagle Peak Store.
I purchased this in 2019 for camping at dog events, be it on fairgrounds or out in the middle of nowhere Montana, wanting a tent that I could easily stand up in to get dressed for the day and not feel like I'm Quasimodo from Hunchback of Notre Dame. This tent has seen some things, from heavy rainfall that would have drowned me in a previous tent I'd used, to VERY high winds that tried to suffocate me in another tent from it bending inward, while some friends used this tent, and has held up extremely well and kept everyone dry. I can easily get a full size mattress, and a twin size, for two people and multiple dogs to sleep comfortably, but still have room in the middle for a "night stand" to charge phones at night. Or it could easily fit two full size mattresses if you didn't need anything in the middle. The biggest downfall to this tent for me may seem silly to most, but it's the lack of electrical cord hole/zipper. This is pretty easily remedied by just feeding an extension cord through the door and using a clip to secure the door shut, because while my dogs don't test the walls, if there's a small hole in the door zipper they will test that, and my dogs are smart enough to just unzip it, so it's something I have to do anyway. I am still VERY happy with this tent despite that small thing I also got this to replace the need to use a friends tent, as her tent accumulated a LOT of condensation, to the point I would have to throw my bedding out on the vehicles to dry in the sun and pray it wasn't raining/didn't rain. This tent still accumulates a little bit, but not enough that I need to dry sleeping bags, blankets, pillows, etc. So the ventilation is really nice. Set up at first can be a little complicated, but I find if you put the rainfly on top BEFORE putting the side tent poles in, you're not fighting with it later if you're on your own. Obviously it's easier with two people, especially if you're vertically challenged like me, but I've learned how to put it up in under ten minutes on my own. Edit 1 year later: I STILL love this tent. It's been 3 years and it's been through hell. Between my dogs trying to bust through the door before it's fully open, to high winds that finally collapsed it on top of me (I know now to actually tie the top corners down if I expect high winds, so something to keep in mind if you're expecting high winds especially with it being a high profile tent), it's held up. I did just have the elastic in one of the main tent poles snap on me at my last dog show, but I'll figure out how to fix that this week. The screen on the front door now has holes in it, but again, my fault, and the sleeve where one of the overhang poles goes has a tear in it half way down, but it doesn't interfere with the main integrity of the rainfly. This tent also experienced snow for the first time this spring, and it held up great. Because the rainfly sits far enough off the ventilation at the top it didn't get stuffy in the morning when I woke up. Just punched the snow off the top and went about my day. Between 4-5 dogs and myself, with blankets and a sleeping pad, I stayed plenty warm while I slept (I like the cold and run warm though, so don't get this tent thinking it's going to keep you nice and cozy, because getting up out of the blankets in the morning still sucked. I suggest sleeping with your clothes you plan to get into with you under the blanket/sleeping bag so they're warm when you put them on so you don't go into shock.) But I've certainly gotten my moneys worth from what I paid for it, and it's still going strong for what I need it for (I don't put the windows more than half down at any time because I don't want dogs testing the window, so the hole in the screen isn't a huge deal to me, and like I said, the pole can be repaired. Just gotta figure out how!)
I work outside and I’m exposed to the sun a lot, so I wanted to get something to protect my face and upper body. This umbrella shades 80-90% of me and it is very easy to attach. It is very sturdy (I accidentally drove it into tree branches before and it fell off but was not broken) to give an example. Super helpful!
A lot wider than other privacy tents. Easy setup and breakdown. I’ve taken this on multiple camping trips and last time it withstood 50mph winds. Only tore because of a nearby tree branch.
The Orange Screw arrived today and I put it right to work on the kids swing set. I have used a lot of stakes in my time, but never seen one that works perfectly right out of the box so to speak. It screwed the first one into the ground (mine has a lot of rocks and roots) with no problem. The second stake was in about half way when I felt it hit either a rock or root, and with another turn it proceeded to go right past whatever it was, and on into the ground. I then tied a rope to it and did my best to make it come up some or even out of the ground. It didn't even budge, and these are listed as small (8" shaft. the large ones have a 10" shaft) and worked like a auger! I am really impressed and I don't say that lightly. I'm buying several more to take camping for awning tie downs and cabin tent stakes. I honestly believe, anyone who buys these stakes is truly going to be impressed the way I was. Not to mention it's a family owned business and 100% made in America and lifetime guaranteed! Hats off to you guys, GREAT product!
I used this tent for a 2-night camping trip. It was very windy at night, and it rained both nights. The tent held up very well. I didn't have to make any adjustments and there were no leaks, I got a good restful sleep both nights. It took me about 10 minutes to put the tent up, snap all the buttons and velcro ties and stake it down. There was no condensation at all. At night I noticed a nice fresh breeze, I didn't have to use my fan. I like tents I can air out. With this tent, there was a pouch on the front door I could zip down. There is a bug screen, so this was nice to keep bugs out and fresh air coming in. This is a four-person tent. I don't think you can get four people in here, but I was comfortable. I could sit up and put my clothes on. I liked having space to move around. And because of the rain, I moved everything in at night and wasn't crowded. I bought the table in front of the tent from whatcampingtent.com also. Taking the tent down was easy. I couldn't put everything back in the carry bag. I'm going to work on it, maybe I didn't fold it right. I purchased a separate footprint, I forgot to put it down. I put it under my cot instead. I was a little worried because of the rain, but I didn't have any problems. The floor was dry in the mornings. Update, 8/29/2024: Once I got the tent home, I refolded it. I was able to get everything in the bag including extra tent pegs and a footprint.
I love everything about this hammock except the poorly stitched rip in the screen. The product showed no signs of being used so I can only assume that the repair was considered acceptable at the factory. But after I made my initial review the company contacted me and sent me a replacement. The replacement came and looks perfect. It appears that the mesh is made out of a more durable material this time. I am going to be ordering another for my wife. As I am thankful for the excellent customer service.
Got this for a changing area for our pool area since our pool is so far from the house. It is roomy and has several zippers for a breeze. Pops rightful and folds right back for easy transport.
This is a very good deal, I don’t usually write review but this tent is sturdy, light and easy to install. Was able to take it with me out of town coz it’s light and easy to carry.
Overall good tent. Ventilation was awesome. Lightweight. Easy setup and takedown. Recommend.
This little pop up tent will be perfect for taking my baby granddaughter to the beach or pool. It's actually great for us to take anywhere and get out of the sun. It comes in a nice carrying bag. It pulls out, and pops up easily. It is also very easy to fold back up and put back in the bag. The instructions were easy to follow. The tent is well made, and lightweight. It even came with tent stakes. It functions as expected
I like A-style/”pup” tents. There’s something about the simplicity and minimal design of them. - At 2.8lbs./1.26 Kg., (for the whole kit) this is a rather lightweight tent. …But add 1.5 lbs. for a pair of required poles. Then this tent weighs 4.3 pounds for use. Even with poles, this tent is still comparably lightweight, and the poles are multifunction…but I’m converting “oranges to apples” here. - Pup tents tend to be lighter weight than framed tents, but take more time and skill to set up properly. Notably, there is skill in attaching/wrapping the guy lines to the poles and attachment grommets. There is also skill in tensioning the guy lines and the stakes, as not to over-stress/rip the tent, and allow for flexibility from wind, movement, etc. So setup and practice before using the tent in the field. - Due to the pole and guy lines, pup tents can be more difficult to crawl in-to and out-from. - In the case of this tent you can substitute the framing with trekking poles. But you can do this with most A-style/pup tents, so a set of basic aluminum tent poles (or trek poles) would’ve been nice. Also, I prefer to keep my trek pole handles out of the dirt, so I prefer the “handle up” mode. But I was unable to slide the pole handle through the tent grommet as shown in the listing photos. However, looping the pole wrist strap through the grommet and over the pole handle worked just fine (see photos). Without use of the wrist strap, I could’ve still threaded the guy line through the tent grommet…and about the pole…again practice and skill. - This tent comes with 6 guy lines, and 8 aluminum stakes. The guy lines are strong enough to keep the tent down, and the stakes are lightweight. Aluminum stakes can bend, fatigue, and snap when pounded in rough terrain, so I generally prefer steel stakes. - This tent has screen/netting and ventilation windows…these vary among A-frame tents….but this tent has a nice design in that regard. Single wall tents tend to have inner condensation (dripping-ly in humid environments)…but the ventilation features of this tent should allow enough air flow to minimize condensation. - The seams are double-stitched…and sealed for water protection, which is generally an indication of quality. - The tent floor is made of a thinner and lighter material than a polyethylene (tarp) floor, so perhaps use a footprint. - Adequately spacious for a “2-person” tent. - I like the drab green color. Bottom Line: A-style/pup tents take a little more time and skill to use than framed tents, but are lighter weight. The design and quality of this tent is good.
These are great poles for light/recreational use. They do flex a bit but I have zero complaints. I have attached a few photos of the poles being used in conjunction with other poles I previously owned. These are great for small camping shelters.
Tent has performed well in the New Mexico desert environment. Stands up well to high winds and sand. Cozy warm in the winter. Extremely easy to set up. Huge space inside. Sturdy material and construction. Stakes are robust. Keeps the rain out. Keeps the wind out. Best tent I've ever had. I use it to camp for a week at a time at least 4 times a year.
