Do Not Take in a Wind Storm!
By S. Osburn
I bought this tent specifically for a week-long scout camp. The simple design lent itself for putting this big tent up in just a few minutes. The tent has all the features I was looking for in a tent: size, design, weight, looks, simplicity, packability, etc. We put four scouts in it and fit them and a week's worth of junk perfectly with plenty of room to spare. The boys loved how roomy it was and that they could stand up in it. We had nice weather for the first two days.But then the wind started blowing. We made sure every single tie down was firmly in place and the entire tent was staked. The rain fly tore at the edge after about twenty minutes of wind. One of the main thick fiberglass poles broke in two and the jagged edges ripped through the tent and right through the rain fly. One of the side fiberglass poles also snapped in two. Fortunately this happened at noon instead of midnight and luckily we had two backup tents in which to put the boys. We had several different brands of tents set up and this is the only one that had difficulty in the wind.This tent needs stronger poles and better designed rope tighteners as these kept coming loose in the wind. The brand new tent lasted all of two days of use.

This tent is HUGE
By thescreaming
This tent was a lot bigger than I expected it to be, which is a good thing. It is very roomy, so if you have a lot of people (or just a lot of stuff), this will work great. There is enough room for multiple adults to stand up straight without hitting their heads on the ceiling. Despite the fact that it is so big, it is very easy to set up (I set it up on my own, with no help). My only complaint is that the air circulation is rather poor. The windows are rather small compared to the size of the tent, so unless you have the rain fly off, it is very stuffy.

This = Big + Awesome - Expensive
By G. Allen
We were looking for something a step up from the tiny 4 (felt like 2) person tent that we had and came across this Wenzel. The price is certainly decent and we decided to get it and try it out. We've set it up a few times and taken it on one camping trip and here are our thoughts thus far.Pros:-Huge! This thing dwarfs other tents and will surely make others jealous! We filled it with a queen size air mattress, a baby's pack-and-play, a camp chair, a ton of gear, and still only covered half the floor space and had plenty of room to walk around. You will easily forget you are sleeping in a tent. Do not underestimate the size of this thing, it is really, really big.-Easy to set up. Just four main poles and a very straightforward rain-fly.-Convenient. Not too heavy and folds back into its back without too much difficulty.-Inexpensive-Light-rain proof. Haven't tried it in a real storm but kept a light rain/dew off.Cons:-Definitely requires staking on the sides. Not sure how it would hold up if you had really loose soil or sand.-Not a cold weather tent by any means.All in all, we were very pleased. Just two of us had no problem setting it up in <15 minutes and didn't find any defects in stitching, quality, etc.
