Great looking product! Welds are entire length of the screw (as others have mentioned). Not made of thin metal…. Thick and very sturdy!!! I used these screws to secure my pool cover for the winter. Used the screws with Nite Ize CamJam Cord Tightener and paracord……Quick easy and perfect! See pics Thanks you guys, great product! PS. Includes a bag and a brush to clean them off when putting them away, and the bit for your drill to install them!
This product is is too thin to fulfill its intended use. Tarp would work better even if not perfect size. Bought this for a brand new tent because I was taking it on a four-night tour of canyonlands in Utah and knew the area would be rocky desert and not a grassy campsite. Even though other reviews said the material was flimsy, I thought it would be easier to have a footprint that would fit perfectly than a tarp I needed to fold and mess with. One night we had wind gusts and rain and while I think it helped with the rain, there are several holes and a couple of tears in the material (the tent has some too). I’ve had other tents that I’ve used without a footprint or tarp for more than ten years that still don’t have any holes or tears. I take very good care of my tents and outdoor gear and it’s disheartening to have spent this much money on something that doesn’t fulfill its intended purpose.
I have a few traditional tents, but this is my first pop up for an upcoming trip were I'll be relocating often. The traditional tents are always going to be lighter and pop-ups will always be heavier and are never meant for backpacking, and any reasonable person already knows these are for convenience for use near a car. As a pop-up, it setup within minutes and packed up even quicker. Traditional tents take me over 10 minutes, and this is all up or down in maybe 3, and that's in and out of the bag and fly attached, save for staking. The 82" height is some obvious error or misdirection, but its definitely larger than a 2-person tent in the traditional sense. My 7 year old will stand up in it with room to spare, but i'm 5'7" and i'm not standing up, but its so much taller and the walls are much more vertical than traditional tents by their nature, so its vastly larger than my NF Wawona 4 or Mountain Hardwear Mineral King 2, which feel especially low now. The best part is the center hook for a light and the large mesh storage area up top. Some tents only have a loop that require you to provide a carabiner or hook to attach a light, so another point to pop-ups that aren't concerned with saving every gram or ounce. And the mesh storage is larger than my 6 person tent, allowing you to put some much larger items up there. Only drawback is the that zipper is hard to operate because the path is so round, and the little vestibule thing is kinda tiny and pointless. The components are decent quality, and it doesn't feel too solid for years of use, but the low price makes its reasonable for what it is. Great tent overall if you're new to camping and want something easy so you aren't messing around while your family stands by.
Pros: This screenhouse is a good size to fit our inflatable pool in & keeps the greenhead flies & mosquitos out! It flexes during windy days but has not lifted off the ground. We have it staked all around & tied to the deck in 2 spots, to keep it from landing in our lagoon ( just in case). Nice shade and I like the two openings. Assembly was pretty simple if you followed the directions & watched a video someone posted. Cons: Just this one...I have dexterity issues in my hands so it was difficult to bend the rods to fit into the connectors. Luckily, my boyfriend could help with that.
I was tempted to give this a 3 star, but opted for a 4 because it easy to get up. My son said "throw it so it doesn't injure you when opening" I don't think the spring effect of the sides is all that bad, but the instructions (that are nicely attached to the bag, even if confusing AF) made me wonder. Its like putting up one of those kids tunnel/tent toy things. the sides just pop open and you expand it out. you have 3 poles that you put together and the tension themselves in the top to keep the roof up. One of my poles started to break though, because it is a lot of tension getting them in their little pocket holder. (that's what I'm trying to show with my hand behind it-the splintering is hard to see) You have lots of room to stand up inside of it, but I think 6 people in chairs would be a pretty tight fit. Getting it down was easy, getting it collapsed back to the bag size was a total pain. the instructions were no help-and you just need to get the hang of folding and twisting it. Once you've done that, it easily fits back in the bag. I wish the bag had a shoulder strap vs. the handles, it would be better to heft onto the shoulder to carry from the car to destination. This tent has a little weight to it! There is no flooring that comes with the tent, as you can see in their pictures its just grass, so you aren't going to be able to keep crawling things out of it :) but it does a good job of keeping out the flying things, as long as you have the sides rolled down!
After spending years camping in a tent at music festivals, this is a game changer! Going from having to lay down to change clothes to being able to stand up and have an entire 'room' to move around is amazing! I like that the 'ceiling' is mesh, so you get plenty of venting for those hot mornings at the music festival, when the sun comes up. In a tent, you'd be melting by mid-morning. Not in this! Plus, the mesh is fine enough that it keeps the bugs out. I also combined this with some aluminum mesh over the top of the canopy and it makes this a great place to hang out during the day. The material is standard tent material, so it will wick water if you have anything touching the sides. But there's so much room inside, that wasn't an issue with me. I also like that the bottom 'tarp' material goes up about a foot on each wall. That helps if it rains, so no water gets inside. Especially if you happen to be in a valley at the camp site and the ground gets a little too soggy. One thing I did was set it up at my house and spray the outside with Scotch Guard to help waterproof it more. That really makes a difference. Overall, I'm so glad I bought this and everyone at the festival asks me where I got it, because they want one too.
We wanted something to put our food table in while we are camping. This bike tent works perfect for our table to keep items enclosed and easy to access outside of our trailer. Quickly close up the tent to protect your items from bugs, rain, or being stolen. Easy to put together and store.
This is a very nice and well built shower tent. No regrets buying this one.
Purchased specifically for a Florida gulf coast beach vacation in July 2024 for our family of 4 and it got the job done! We will take it back again this year. Keeping tension when setting up is key. If it’s windy, dig holes in the sand to put the full corner “bags” in, and then bury them for extra stability. It does help to have a larger shovel than the scoop it comes with. My only complaint is that it’s impossible to set up/take down without getting completely covered in sand but maybe that’s the Midwest girl in me not used to sand in everything. We rinsed it out at our vacation rental, brought it back home on the airplane and rinsed it out well again at home, ran it through the washer and air dried and it’s like new again. It’s worth the money to purchase it and fly to a destination versus renting shade once you get there if you plan to use it multiple times. Would recommend!
The set up was super simple! All you do is assemble the (2) poles that hold the far end up with the trip wires to hold em upright. The bonnet slips over the rear end of your SUV (kinda like a hair net). I prefer to keep the hatch open so it holds the roof up high so you can stand underneath without your head touching the roof. At the bottom of the bonnet there is a ruffle attached to keep the bugs from flying under your vehicle. Be sure to hook behind your mud flap to help hold in place. We also used two spare cords to attach the top of the bonnet to our roof rack in case winds pick up. ** So the only flaw is where we attached the bonnet it wraps around under your car on your muffler/exhaust...I'd recommended waiting till it cools and don't run your vehicle while the tent is attached to your car other wise you might melt it. ***We used a propane fire pit, I highly recommend (don't use a wood fire under this canopy) *Another thing I recommend is to attach the side of the bug net to the ground and stretch it out on the sides as far as the middle zipper will let it. This is a safety precaution if you have a propane fire in it. We had a gust of win blow thru while we were distracted and almost melted it in the fire pit. Over all I recommend this tent/canopy if you are SUV camping or just a river day to keep the bugs off you and seek shade with the family. You can fit 4 people with chairs around the fire pit.
We bought this to take camping and put over our picnic table. I wanted some screened and large enough to put over a large picnic table that they usually have at campgrounds. It fit perfectly and still had room to walk around the table. It kept out 99% of the bugs (few got in while opening/closing) It really worked well for us! Set up was easy too! Forgot to take a picture of just the screen tent but added a picture with it and our tent.
Probably the only way you'll get a tent that goes up any easier is to have a tent that's already up. All you do is unroll it, pull up the top and snap the legs open. That is genuinely it. See video. To close it, you push the top closed (again, see video) and snap the legs back again. The snapping of the legs to close them is the only slightly worrisome part. The first time I did it I was sure I had broken the leg. But, no, apparently it is supposed to snap that hard. It does take a bit of force, and I noticed they kind of skim over it in the video that they posted with the ad. (That is better than my video, by the way. I just made mine quick and didn't show putting the rainfly on. They go through all the details, but the snapping of the poles back is kind of skimmed over. I do show that in my video – please watch.) It's a very light tent, both physically and in construction. This is not a tent that's going to stand up to an awful lot of abuse, and I would be careful and not put it on any sharp rocky ground. That said, it's perfectly acceptable for a lawn or a maintained tent site or even the beach. It's a normal small tent. I like the fact that the bottom is sewn partway up the sides so that there are no seams directly on the ground, and I gave the bottom material a couple of experimental – careful, but experimental – tugs and pulls and it seems solid enough. But it isn't the thickest tent we've ever had. I have yet to go camping in a hurricane or even a rain storm, so regretfully I can't say how waterproof it is. I do think the rain fly will keep any drips from coming in from above. The main concern would be from below. I *think* it will be OK, but honestly I may go ahead and buy waterproofing spray just to make sure. It isn't that thick. But even with that said, this is a cool tent. It is now the tent I'm going to keep in the car for emergency purposes. If the poles break prematurely, or if I do have a rain storm and find myself in 6 inches of water this review will be very quickly updated. But it's an awesome little tent.
When I used it first time one of the pole was not at all getting tight or lock. I keep twisting for several minutes. And then Finally it locked after lot of efforts. The bottom support or shoe broke during first use. I returned it.
If you're a tent camper like myself, this tent is a must have! Not gonna lie, I was really skeptical about just how quickly this tent supposedly set up... Oh my gosh, it's so fast and easy to set up! I literally timed myself and from first opening the bag to having the tent fully erect it only took me 2 minutes! That's it! Two minutes by myself! Upon unzipping the bag I was really surprised to see there was no extra cardboard to discard or plastic to throw away, it was just the tent and a bag of very nice heavy duty tent stakes and guy lines. The instructions for this tent are sewn right into the bag and easy to see as soon as you unzip it, and they're always there if you need a refresher course later on. I've done a lot of tent camping in my lifetime and this is by far the easiest tent I've ever erected by myself, and definitely the fastest. It has good sized windows on all four walls and the door unzips all the way with tie backs to secure it open if you prefer. There's also a built in mat at the door as well. There are no extra poles to assemble, at all! It's all one unit that folds out and pops up a lot like an instant canopy would. It's quite roomy inside and would easily fit two people with a good sized air mattress, or more people with cots. I like how the bottom of the tent extends a little up the sidewalls to further protect from any water getting inside, it adds to the waterproof feature for sure. Very open and airy tent, great for kids and adults too. There's also a nice power outlet opening, which was a nice bonus. Another plus is how easy it was to take down as well; it only took me five minutes from start to finish to have this tent completely down and back inside the bag, and that was just my first time with this tent... this tent really is that easy to manage! The price seems on point with the quality, material, and ease of use. Super durable and sturdy. It really doesn't get any easier than this! Highly recommend!
This roomy tent was used for 2 adults, 2 teens and 2 large dogs at the beach camping for 5 days in very mild weather. Person in the photo is 6’1 and he can stand in the middle with a few inches to spare. The divider is removable, so is the rain fly. Set up was fairly easy with 2 people. A queen size mattress on 1 side and 2 twin-long mattresses on the other was perfect, and still was roomy to move around and room for dogs and supply’s. There is a handy loop inside at the top to hang a camp light. I would not use it in really strong winds and was unable to test for rain. It was only foggy, and no drips got in. Everything worked well, and all required parts were included.
