I think it's too big to be a pop up tent. The rods were broken when I unpacked the tent. Be warned, the tent explodes open when you release the belt, that force may have broken the rods. Its unrepairable. The company will not replace since, nor will whatcampingtent.com refund, for its 2 weeks, past 30 days. Bottom line, inspect everything immediately on arrival. Bummer. Considering the amount of business I do on whatcampingtent.com, I thought they would refund. Also the number the company listed on the warranty is not working. Unfortunately this tent company shares the similar names with other tent companies.
This kit is far bigger than I thought it would be. It comes with a full size rubber mallet (w/ hanging hook), a broom and dustpan, seriously heavy duty metal stakes, extra guy lines, screen patches, floor patches, and clear patches. The carry case is very handy for easy storage.
This little beach house tent is super quick and easy to open. It comes in two parts, the beach house and a separate roof that you attach to the house with four velcro strips on two sides. It can hold maybe 2-3 young children comfortably. Our 20 month old toddler was able to stand up and play inside it with ease (31.5" tall). We took it to the beach in Galveston, Texas on a relatively windy day, which is why it looks a bit lopsided in the one photo because the wind is blowing hard against it. We recommend popping open the beach house part first and filling the bottom with sand/water to hold it down first before attaching the roof to the beach house, if it's windy, then use the 4 included stakes to secure it in place. The roof held on strong all afternoon at the beach even in high winds, so the velcro strips proved to be stronger than they looked. The tent provided ample shade from the sun, even with the roof vents open, except on the one side without a flap (so we faced that side away from the direction of the sun). It has doors on 4 sides, 3 of which have a flap that rolls up or can be let down, and there are a few loops on one side where baby toys can be secured/attached. The bottom floor of the tent can roll back to reveal a sunk in area built in to create a little splash pool. You can dig the sand out underneath the bottom of the tent and pour water inside the pool area. We chose just to fill ours completely with a layer of sand at the bottom of our tent and didn't use the splash pool, but we definitely plan to use it in the future. It's a really nice feature. Our toddler had lots of fun playing in the tent. She loves all the doors she can go in and out of on the tent. It is a good value for your money. It's good quality and we see it lasting us a few years at the beach at least. It's also very easy to put away, just like twisting up one of those windshield shades, and fits neatly into the included carry case, which was small enough to fit inside our beach bag. It's a beautiful light blue color with golden yellow trim, roof, and floor.
I love how protected from critters I feel when sleeping in this sort of out-door room that has a few creepy crawlers at times. This Mosquito tent is PERFECT!!!
These work really well and are very easy to install. You get three panels in one pack and for now that is all I think we will need. These will work on any of the five side walls of the Clam shelter to provide a barrier against the wind and for privacy. They won't work on the entrance area of the shelter so make note of that. If you want to cover all five walls however, it looks like you'd have to buy two packs of these and end up having one panel as a spare. The panels fit the wall areas perfectly and are attached by using the plastic hooks. The shelter has four loops (one on each corner) of the wall area. There are also some velcro sections on the panels and shelter that can be attached. They fold up nicely and can easily fit inside the oversized storage bag of the Shelter. Very pleased with them and will certainly get more if we decide we'd like to have the ability to cover all five wall sections.
This is my first quality tent. Blown away by the differences between this and a cheap store brand tent. It has sturdier material, was a breeze to put up, it has snaps and clips for mounting the fly, and the seam taping appears really nice. The fly doesn’t rest on the tent; there is a 2” gap between the two for insulation and I assume it will minimize condensation. Quality really does matter… I’m not sure on the reported weight; it seems heavy, and it doesn’t pack down as small as I would hope, but I’m looking forward to getting out with it. It’s a joke I know… but a 2p tent is more or less a “plus sized” one person tent! Where is the second person supposed to sleep in this two person tent once I put my mat in? Guess you have to spoon. Lastly, I’m 6’4”. My feet touch the door (barely) and my head touches the inside wall (barely). I can sleep diagonal to be more comfy…but I’m backpacking so not worried about it. I can sit up in it with plenty of head room, but there shall be no stretching in this tent.
We used this tent for the first time last night and it literally protected us from a hail storm and survived a tornado that touched down in Rogers, AR last night. I staked it down and it stayed completely safe and intact as full grown healthy trees snapped within 20 feet of our campsite. I would 100% recommend this tent. Thank you, God.
We set this up in the backyard. It was a bit tricky to figure out because of the lack of instructions. However, it's very sturdy when set up properly. The floor is a lot nicer than most tents. It's not made of that noisy easy to rip plastic material. It's very roomy. I bought the larger one for trips with my wife. It only comes with two awning poles as advertised, however, whatcampingtent.com sells adjustable tarp poles that work great. We haven't used it to camp yet but it worked well for the backyard camping we did.
El peso es muy bueno, y la protección contra agua excelente. Muy fácil de armar, deberían vender una huella específica para esta carpa, ya que su forma no es el habitual cuadrado. El tamaño de empaque facilita su transporte. La comodidad para dormir está bien, sin embargo, no es cómoda para realizar tareas como una muda de ropa, ahí es donde el tamaño es un factor. Mido 1.75 y me fue imposible cambiar de ropa dentro de la carpa ⛺ Detalles que deberían mejorar son las estacas, hay más livianas, y de mejor calidad, no hay bolsa para los parantes evitaría desgarrar la carpa por error. The weight is very good, and the protection against water is excellent. Very easy to assemble, they should sell a specific footprint for this tent, since its shape is not the usual square. The packaging size makes it easy to transport. Sleeping comfort is fine, however, it is not comfortable for performing tasks like a change of clothes, that is where size is a factor. I'm 1.75 and it was impossible for me to change clothes inside the tent ⛺ Details that should be improved are the stakes, there are lighter ones, and of better quality, there is no bag for the poles, which would prevent tearing the tent by mistake.
I bought the tent first and needed to be more comfortable in it than just with folding chairs. So I found the blow up couch on here also And couldn't believe it fit. The tent breakdown is easier than you think. You lay the large sides of the tent on top of themselves. You bring together the white Buckles that are on that side together.Then you bring the black buckles that are on that same side together. Then you flip it over and do the same thing on the other side. Then you bend the whole piece into an eight shape, Then you fold the eight shape down on top of it self like a clam and make it a circle. Keep that circle closed with the black strap they provided and then stick it back in its bag. So happy with it
I was looking for a tent that could fit myself, husband and our two dogs comfortably. This tent worked out perfectly. We fit a queen size are mattress, a large dog bed, a small side table, a duffle bag and a small back pack and still had room to move around. I love how much of this tent is mesh. You can stargaze out the top and the side windows are perfect height for watching the campfire. Putting up the tent was easy for my husband and I — Could be a bit more challenging for one person but totally doable. We rigged hooks on our platform to easily attach the leads to so we will have an even easier set up each time we use it now. All items on the listing were in the bag. We did not set up the canvas fly. I wanted to leave the roof open to see the stairs-unfortunatly we did get some unexpected rain. The tent itself is made of typical tent material and not waterproof. I will update my review when we test out the canopy in the rain. Only thing I can say contradictory to the listing is that I would consider this tent 3 season- I can't see using it in the winter unless you live somewhere with very mild winters. We have used this tent twice so far and enjoy it's design and functionality. We were also able to fit everything back into the provided tent bag which I was happy about. Glad I took a chance on this tent with limited reviews and wanted to write this review to help you decide as well. Happy Camping!
I haven’t camped with this yet, but I wanted to add some photos and initial impressions. I like that the floor and pole sleeve fabric (same on both) is a bit heavier duty than the tent body. They included bungee cord on the lower rainfly tie outs, which was nice. I was pleasantly surprised by the pockets on the ceiling, in addition to the expected lantern hook, gear loft, and 2 side wall pockets. I wish the rain fly attached with buckles, but it has the bungee & hook setup that is common on budget-friendly tents. One thing I haven’t encountered in any other tent is the fabric ties on the underside of the rainfly instead of Velcro loops to secure it to the poles. Velcro is easier since it doesn’t require the ability to see what you’re doing. I didn’t tie them, but I will when I camp and I suspect tying that many knots or bows will be frustrating. I might rig up something else if I can come up with a simple fix to improve it. The tent is a really nice size and I’m definitely planning to test it out in the rain, so I’ll update my review once I find out how that goes. I chose it to a large degree because of the dimensions, straighter sidewalls, and water resistance specs. I noticed a lot of reviews said it was impossible to fit it back in the case, so I made a special effort to try and I did get it back in the bag. There’s almost always a particular way a tent needs to be folded and rolled to make that work. In this case, I found that folding it into thirds and then in half again (all lengthwise) makes the width about equal (or hopefully a little less than) the length of the poles. Then I folded it basically in half lengthwise, but not exactly…I always keep the top layer shorter. At this point I laid the rainfly on top (folded so it didn’t really stick out past the tent width), poles, and stakes, and rolled the folded end of the tent towards the open end to squeeze out the air. The rainfly, etc got rolled into the tent burrito. Fits in the bag!! Still a bit snug and I wish they would have left a little extra space + extra length on the compression straps. The design of the bag is really cool. They just weren’t quite generous enough with the sizing. But it’s a small tent…another bag would be easy to find if I decide I’d rather have an easier time packing it up. Edit: Got a chance to use the tent and I’ve found that it works best to fold the door and window sides (front and back) inward rather than the sides. Since it’s 9x7, the 7 foot side being folded in 1/3s then 1/2 works out just right. Folding the 9 foot side first is harder to fit back into the bag. Also, it seems to me that the floor dimensions are about 6” short. At least it doesn’t seem to be 84” from front to back. My exped megamat lxw fit without much room to spare from end to end. I was counting on 84” because I knew the mat was a bit longer than most. Great tent, but be aware that it may be a touch smaller than the dimensions claim. I really like how well the rain fly covers, for insulation, not just rain. We used it in cold weather and put a reflective tarp over the top under the rain fly. Still had enough ventilation to prevent condensation and to be able to run a mr buddy heater or something, but easy to reduce drafts. It’s a bit adjustable on how much ventilation you need. Just stake out the bungee cords on each side more or less for either scenario. I also realized it would work great to cut a Mylar blanket into a couple pieces that could be zipped in between the door and window screens to keep the interior even warmer without sacrificing all of the ventilation. I imagine it would be excellent in hot weather, too, since it does have quite a bit of mesh. Just not so much that it’s impossible to keep warm when needed.
These tents are super cute and easy to put together. They're so pretty, colors are true to the pic. I used them for my daughter's sleepover party and the girls loved them. They're a perfect size for 10-year-olds and adults. The covers can be washed in a delicate cycle.
The Big Agnes Bunkhouse 6 is worth the $$$! Love that it is lighter weight than my previous tent. Very easy to set up. Took me about 45 minutes from out of the box to full set. Set up will go quicker with use. Like that the storage bag is a backpack. Easier for me to handle. Need to purchase tarp poles to extend the vestibule.
Easy set up, easy tear down. Awesome design and the colors are spot on! Loads of room for my 5’1 11 year old on a cot and myself being 6’5 on a cot with lots of space in between. Great product.
