Coleman 10×9 6-Person Instant Tent with Fan and Light $119 Shipped Reg $230

The main 6 poles are 16 mm and the roof poles are 12 mm. All materials used here are very durable, this is the reason for its weight. So the fabric is 150D; not many tents are with such durable materials. Compare this with Eureka Sunrise EX 6 tent where you have 63D. I dislike the fact that the floor is not a bathtub type.

Each “room” can then fit either 5 sleeping pads or sleeping bags, or 2 queen-sized beds. One room, on the left side of the tent, will have 3 windows and the hinged D-door, while the other room will have 2 windows and the other door. The mattresses that I used in this tent are slightly smaller than queen size, but almost queen sized (give or take a few inches).

So if the vestibule is important, i.e., you will be using the tent in areas with a lot of rain, you might want to consider something different, like this Nemo Wagontop 6. Yet another great feature; you have 6 ft 5 in (77 in; 1.96 m) height in the center. Remember, this is not a dome-style tent, so you have a considerable height almost everywhere in the tent.

A subreddit for campers concerned more about the act of camping and less concerned about hiking long distances or light gear. Illumiline™ reflective guy lines are more visible so you don’t get tripped up if you need to take a walk at night. Inside, there’s enough room to stretch out on a queen-sized airbed. I tried to make coleman sundome sure that the zippers were protected by this yellow rain cover thing on the outside, but it seems to be soaked with water, and made the leaking worse. For weather resistance, I looked at rain and wind protection. The divider extends all the way to the floor, but there are pretty big gaps at the sides of the divider.

They do not decay in time and they are even stronger than the surrounding material.

The compromise for this convenience is a poor-performing design. No doubt, the Instant Tent will work fine on a clear night. I already fixed the misaligned zipper teeth with pliers, trimmed and retied the loose stitching, and used $25 or so of dry chain lube to make the zippers better.

Another worth taking a look at is the Carlsbad Fast Pitch 6 similar to the evanston it has a screened area and is advertised as a fast pitch tent. Starting of with the cheapest of all, we find the Kids Wonder Lake Like suggested in the name it is designed primarily for children. In the “picture below” you can see it is not a toy tent, it can be used outside just like any other Coleman tent and comes with a half fly.

You might want to check this Red Canyon 8 tent from the same brand, with almost 16 square meters of floor area, or this WeatherMaster 6 with a large screen room. The packed size is not so great indeed, but here too, you would use the car in any case, so the 47 inches (120 cm) of the packed length may not be such a big deal. Everything is fine with this tent as long as you do not have long spells of rain.

So there is no way for water to get in regardless of the winds. The horizontal flaps are with the same design as on windows, so this is surely fully waterproof. While I am a writer on Reviewed’s parenting team, I’m also an avid outdoors woman with nearly 30 years of camping experience.

A lot cheaper and also larger than the Hampton 6 “above” it looks good for those wanting more space and headroom without the extra cost. With 140 sq ft and 7′ of headroom it will easily accommodate six, nine people sounds like a push unless it is nine children. If you’d prefer to pitch your tent in a matter of seconds rather than minutes, the Coleman Instant Tent 6 has you covered. The Coleman Company Inc., a self-proclaimed leader in “the innovation and marketing of outdoor products,” had struck out with its latest easy-to-erect camping tent.

On all windows, you have panels from inside, so they provide rain protection (the outer layer is a mesh against insects). The panels are with zippers and you have flaps from outside. The horizontal flaps are oriented so that water doesn’t get in. Coleman 8 Person Instant Camping Tent is a very large and tall 2-room tent for 8 people, with an express setup and an incredible price. On our camping trip, the four-person tent, which costs just $136.99, did in fact set up with ease.
