6 Person Easy Pop Up Tent,12.5’ x 8.5‘ x53.5,Automatic Setup,Waterproof, Double Layer,Instant Family Tents for Camping,Hiking & Traveling

I have put this tent through the ringers of 5 campouts thus far this summer and it holds up well....it DOES take some practice on how to twist-fold the beams to pack it down after use, but the poles do not break despite having to torque them into place with folding it up for storage.My Verdict:Recommended for 1-2 people; well-made and is good for easy camping use with little setup needed.THE PROS:1. Popup setup - really IS easy. Literally throw it at the spot and it just about pops up on its own.2. Well-made; stitches and zippers are good quality; mosquito mesh is fine and small thread, so most mosquitoes and small knat-like bugs cannot get through.3. Material is durable; does not tear4. Waterproof (I only had one time when it rained lightly, and i stayed dry inside)THE CONS:1. Packing up by bending/twisting the poles to fit it bag into the storage bag DOES takes practice (its a learning curve)2. Interior space; not much headroom when entering or leaving the front entrance (your back might get strained unless you go in or out of the tent entrance on your hands and knees), but sitting inside is fine. You need to kneel when getting in or out of the tent, due to the low ceiling.3. Front entry area - wished they had used that for lengthening the interior/sleeping area more. Kind of wasted space, if you ask me.4. Ventilation: Its okay, but on the opposite end of the tent, away from the front entrance, the small vent window is not adequate for letting in enough air on hot days.5. Realistically, there's enough interior room for 2 people laying side-by-side with inflatable twin-size mattresses....you could fit three 6' tall adults in there, but would have little extra room beyond the three sleeping bags and the people would be laying shoulder-to-shoulder...I am 6'2" tall and with my head almost touching the far end when laying down, my feet almost push against the interior netting near the entrance...6. The tent stakes provided with the tent are really thin, flimsy and bend very easily when hammering into the ground -- much better to get more sturdy (thicker) tent stakes separately to use instead.

Never been camping before, so I was looking for an easy-to-set-up tent, I saw the videos, and thought why not give this one a try. It truly was a snap to set up! I would recommend getting a tarp to put under though since the material at the bottom is the same as all-around and I think it will help protect it from mud and moisture.My son loved it immediately. It's very spacious, definitely don't open it in the living room unless your house is huge! I'm 5'7", and was able to fit width-wise laying down. My husband who is over 6 feet might have a harder time fitting in that direction but would have no problem fitting length wise with room to spare. Could comfortably fit another adult/teen and one or two more kids. I like that there are two zippered "doors" - one at the entry to the vestibule, one inside. Just for the extra bug protection. In effect the tent has two layers - which I hope will also help keep the rain out. There are two netted side windows too for ventilation (also double layer of netting), that also close, and a tiny ventilation vent on the back - kind of wish that was a little bigger, but I guess it's at least a way for air to get in when it's raining to prevent suffocation, it's a flap sewn down on the sides with a little piece to prop it open at the bottom, so unless it's raining upwards, it should keep water out. It was not super hot out when we tested it, but I can see how it could get hot if it's in direct sun with no breeze. That's one reason I choose one of the lighter colors to improve sun reflection, though of course our curious backyard birds proceeded to poop on it immediately, LOL! (Wiped it off before packing it back up). Have not tried it in the rain yet or overnight, just did a test setup in the backyard to make sure I knew how to set it up. It's super lightweight so the stakes are definitely needed, haven't tried the wind bungees yet. If you watch the reviews that show how to fold it it makes it a lot easier - the first step to fold it in gave me no trouble, but I did worry when folding in on itself the second time. Will update the review if I we ever go through the rain in it.
