Users often encounter problems when not storing the tent correctly. Ensure the tent is completely dry before folding and storing. Fold the tent fabric neatly, avoiding sharp creases, and store it in a cool, dry place. Keeping it away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures will help prevent material deterioration over time. Dismantling the tent can sometimes be tricky and may cause damage if not done correctly.
This will put your mind at rest at least regarding the roof. The one presented here is 14 x 10 ft; the other is 14 x 8 ft and as I understand it comes with the rain fly. But the 14 x 10 version also exists as an option with the accessory fly included. So do not get confused if you see different descriptions on the Internet. The Coleman Skylodge blew the competition away and offered not only a quick and easy one-person set up, it offered the most comfortable wilderness lodging of all the tents we tried. Unzip a window and you expose the screens, which are angled toward the sky, to the rain falling down.
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 screen tent 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.
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.
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.
I found the stitching to be pretty consistent with no huge holes, although you can see some light coming in through the seams. The pole structure is also very simple, and there are only 6 guylines in total for such a large tent. For ventilation, I looked at how much mesh the Coleman 10-Person Instant Cabin Tent has.
