Product Description
The Wenzel Big Bend is a 12-foot x 10-foot, seven-sided-dome tent with 68 inches of center head room. It accommodates five campers on a welded-polyethylene tub-style floor to keep out ground moisture and is made of rugged, unique Weather Armor weather-resistant polyester with a polyurethane coating for toughness and reliability. The hanging divider curtain creates two separate rooms for privacy. A removable hooped fly over the back to back D-style door keeps out the rain. Double-stitched, lap-felled seams through out the body of the tent provide a shingle effect against water. All threads, zippers and webbing are treated with superior water repellency applications to enforce these critical areas. Mesh doors, two windows, and mesh roof provide a cross breeze. The lightweight, shockcorded fiberglass frame has a pin and ring system for easy set-up. This tent includes two hanging pockets for storage, an integrated mud mat to help keep the tent clean and has a 10-year warranty against defects. Specifications: • Base: 12 ft. x 10 ft. • Center Height: 68 in. • Area: 94 sq. ft. • Doors: Back to back Dutch "D" style • Floor: welded polyethylene • Frame: fiberglass • Stakes: plastic • Sleeps: 5 • Carry Weight: 14.3 lbs

good tent, just NOT for five people
By M. Napier
I bought this tent thinking the dimensions of 12'X 10' would be plenty big for four people. What is not mentioned is that this tent is hexagonal and that it only reaches 12' X 10' at the very corners. We were able to squeeze 3 cots into the tent with only enough room for our bags under the cots. I would venture to say it would fit only a full sized mattress. Having said that, this is a pretty good 2, maybe 3 person tent. Set up was easy and the door zipper didn't stick like most tend to do. It did not rain, so I'm not sure about it's waterproof capabilities, but the dome shape stood up very well to windy conditions. Bottom line: small, but good, sturdy tent.

Big Bend review
By yankee
I love this tent. I can set it up alone(or with the help of a 6 and 7 year old). We were in 2 storms the first time we used it and stayed dry. The only problem I can see is that when it rains and you unzip the door you may get a little water in the tent off the door. Once I realized this I now make sure we push the door out and it works,it stays dry.The amount of water was minimal and could be wiped up with a paper towel.

By AL
It's not camping season but I set this up in the back yard after it arrived. Set up was very simple despite the 13 step instructions. It was easier with two people but I'm sure I could do it alone in less than 5 minutes. Inside is very spacious and could easily fit 5 adults without the divider curtain but would be cramped with gear. 4 would be very comfortable. I don't know about cots, I just use thermarests. The removable curtain is only an illusion of privacy but what can you expect? Stakes do seem a little cheap but due to the shape certain corners must be staked down for a taut pitch.My husband and I upgraded from a small 2 person tent to this 2 room tent that we could stand up in. We plan to sleep in one side and keep gear and maybe a couple chairs on the other side. It's a little extravagant for 2 people but western Washington almost always has a constant drizzle during some of the camping trip and with this tent we'll have room to keep gear and sleeping bags away from the sides of the tent, and a place to retreat to rather than trying to put tarps up around a campfire.I can't wait to go camping!
