I have fellow campers that would love to buy one, but for some reason I can’t find one anywhere.

I highly advise that a tarp be used under this (and any other) tent, as that’s where most water will get in… I have had a drop or two of water get through the floor in HEAVY downpours with blowing winds, but not in normal rain showers. Great tent for a beginner or someone who likes to travel light. I bought this tent on clearance at WalMart a few years ago.

The biggest issue in all of this is the inability to withstand any rotational pressure during medium and high impact weather conditions as the joints become unstable and collapse at the mid points. In windy conditions high stress is applied to each side and the frame begins to break down at the unreinforced joint connectors. The extra support features make sure everything is secure. It is a very nice easy way for a family that does not have a lot to pull from to utilize money with dual purpose. I wish I could find this tent in a 12′ x 12′ model!!!

Yes, it is a completely exposed structure with open walls, but when the hot rays of the sun are beating down, it makes things more comfortable when you have a concentrated breeze flowing through. Although you might think that you can’t get overheated underneath an already open structure, if lots of people are standing inside and if the outside temperature is boiling then things can get hot. To prevent any build-up of humidity or stuffiness, these openings suck in air whilst also letting hot air rise and escape.

Will not let anyone borrow it because I cannot find one to replace it. She fell in love with the way it goes up and folds down. I have the 9×9 First Up dome tent tan with brown and blue trim. The reason why I gave it 4 and not 5 is it says 4-5 people but really is best for just 2 and perhaps an infant. Also the sides of the tent are netted mesh so it get a bit nippy in the tent at night wish they had made a closing window for those.
