Customer Rating: Summary: WOW Comment: You have to understand when I buy something I do my homework. I read and I read until there is nothing to read anymore. Then I shop. This was the tent that we wanted. We tried to also find something similar as well. We went to Dicks Sporting Goods, Cabela's, K-Mart, Walmart, Target, and everyone else you can imagine on line. Cabela's carries it but did not have it in the store and it was on back order. This tent all of a sudden was extinct. Ebay had them used or slightly flawed.. and they were selling for full price. I was getting nervous. I had 4 adults going and did not want to be like a bunch of sardines. I wanted something affordable and desirable. I finally lucked out and found one on line sold with the terminology "soiled". Now realize that it was not on this site all the other times I checked them out. I was in the right place at the right time.
I put her up with my husband .. I stood back because he gets frustrated using a ziploc bag. I just kind of stood there assessing. The directions are a bit cryptic, but you know once you look at the tent and figure out what poles to start with.... it was no problem. Took about 20 minutes the first time. We did not stake or put the tenafly up.. it was a basic inspection and initial look over. The term "soiled"... is that it was used one time prior by the store itself. Maybe they just wanted to try it out themselves. It had a tinge of campfire smell.. that is all. We took the tent down until our trip.
It is time for the camping trip. The inlaws cancelled a few days before the trip. One of my girlfriends stepped in and stated that she would go... which worked out fine because my husband did not show up until the 2nd night of the trip. My husband was concerned that I would have problems putting up the tent. Hah.
I put the tent up all by myself ... except the part where you have to put the side poles that stand the tent. I just needed my friend to hold the first one and I could of had any passerby do that. Please realize I have not tent camped since I was a child. So it has been a couple of decades since then.
It was simple. If anyone is reading this. Everything is color coordinated ... start with the small orange poles for the dome... then the olive green small poles.. from there the rest is a breeze. Also something my husband would be impatient at... but the height and support poles... let them follow the naturally slant and make sure the base of the tent is nice and square. Then you stake it. This Tent is part dome and part cabin. I believe that most of you that are having problems with the tent set up is partly the directions are cryptic.... and partially on the impatience of the tent pitcher. My husband is one of those individuals. When he got to the site he was so impressed. We had seen it up before but 1/2 a@@'d and not with the tenafly. I was worried about putting up the tenafly do to the height of the tent. It was a sight to behold.
Ventilation system was wonderful. The Accessories were great. We had 2 queen size air mattresses... one in each room. My girlfriend was so impressed with the tent and in awe that I put it up basically by myself. You can zip that baby up or just leave the windows open with air coming through the mesh screens. We were by a sound .. so there was a lot of moisture. We had no rain... but it was great. I was excited when it was time to go to sleep. Then I saw some of the other campers tents... but ours was beautiful and big. The picture does not do it justice. Other campers made complimentary remarks and admired this very nice tent.
When I read reviews I never see someone totally happy with something. They may of gotten a lemon... they may not of set up the tent as best as they should of for optimum performance.... they may just like to complain.... or they have a preference for another kind of tent. There will always be something. But if a tent gets the majority of optimum stars .. then I would have to say it must be good. In this case the quantity of people giving it 5 stars compared to those giving it poor star ratings.. helped me put it in context. I am happy with my purchase. I love the bag.. love the tent.. love the size.... love the quality of the stakes. By the way it was very windy being by the water ... I staked it well... it stood up well. I myself have to perfect rolling my tent back up as small as it came to me.... good thing that bag is forgiving.. that I can get it back in. Oh yes did I tell you I took the thing down by myself as well. My husband left a few hours early so he could get ready for work the next day.
I am going camping again this coming weekend..... I am so excited.
Keep in mind there is tent quality (sometimes can get a lemon) and also quality of the way the tent is put up by an individual. I have the orange version of this tent. Very unique.
Did I forget to mention... I LOVE THIS TENT.
Sincerely
Jack's Wife
Customer Rating: Summary: We Love This Tent!!! Comment: We just got back from our 1st week long camping trip with this tent! We were very impressed with the way it held up. We love the 2 room feature. When the weather was nice we left the bedroom shut and were able to leave the front door open for walking in and out of easily. We had plenty of citronella going and a campfire most of the time, so the bugs stayed away most of the time. We felt that it was very roomy inside and had room for everything we wanted, and believe me, we brought everything but the kitchen sink. At night it was dry for the first part of our week and were able to leave the big screen room windows open, which was very nice. We have taken this tent on a couple of 2 nighters as well and the ease of setting this BIG tent up is so surprising. Literally 10 minutes and it is up. We like the fact there is no "ducking" to walk around in this tent. It feels like home. Did I say WE LOVE THIS TENT!!!! Customer Rating: Summary: Great for Family Camping Comment: I have used this tent twice so far, once in the Texas hill country and Big Bend National Park. The tent offers plenty of room for my family of five. Even with everyone inside there is room for board games and other indoor activites. The windows are huge and offer a teriffic view of the countryside. The tent is heavy so don't even think about taking it too far from the car. Now I know why the carrier case comes with rollers. Customer Rating: Summary: Great tent, but look out for high winds Comment: used this tent for the first time last week! lots of room, pretty easy to set up, was in MOAB Utah rock crawling for a week, tent was great had all my gear neatly in the tent lots of room, woke up to some wind on tuesday morning, checked all the stakes, and tie down lines, and went wheeling, when hours out on the trail the winds really picked up, by the time got back to the KOA, it was late eve, and the tent was trashed rain fly was shredded, tie down lines were riped from the tent, pretty much the rain fly took the bulk of dammage, 2 holes and one broken pole in tent... watch out in high winds bigger the tent the more she wants to go flying! hopefull i can get a new rain fly and a pole, they said got over 50 mph gusts... Customer Rating: Summary: Perfect for the family Comment: We have used this tent on two camping trips. First, I'll say that it was a little cumbersome to put up the first time. After that - it was not hard at all. My wife and I can now get the tent up in about 15 min. We had a few nights of rain while using the tent - and not a single drip of water - and no, we did not use any type of sealer. It is a little heavy - but nothing a family can not manage.
