Both are intended for all kinds of outdoor events, like beach parties, backyard BBQ’s, fishing and camping trips, picnics, and much more. Any package that exceeds the threshold value for weight OR length, width and height is considered ‘Heavy/Oversized’, and requires a scheduled delivery.

Most tents are built to withstand winds of around 15 to 30 mph, once you get around 20 mph most regular tents really start to act like they are going to blow away and take you with them. You don’t have to worry about it blowing away in the wind or finding a place to store it because it’s attached permanently. The wind cover is extremely easy to remove so you can enjoy the breeze or lay under the stars at night protected from mosquitoes. There are 3 mesh panels on the inside roof and two door panels. The first door panel is wind and waterproof, and the second has a mesh window on the top. We experienced some very high winds when camping in southern Utah and although it was very noisy (like all tents in the wind) I never felt like the whole thing was going to blow away.
I’ve used this tent in windstorms, rainstorms, hot sunny days, and cold fall nights and everything is still as good as new. If I could do it again I would buy the 4 person Coleman pop up tent and I even have suggested doing just that to people who have asked for my recommendation. If it’s early morning and we have to put the instant tent away so we can get to the next campsite I just pick it up and shake off most of the early morning dew before folding it up. I love that all I have to do is pull it out of the storage bag, remove the elastic strap that’s keeping it from flying open, and just let the pop up tent go. Most of the time we’ve been driving to places and camping out of a car, so using minimal space, and easy set up/take down were really important.
Both have fast installation times and follow 3 simple phases, plus you can so easily adjust them to 3 different heights using the comfort grip buttons that lock into place. Thanks to both of their attached frame designs, the structures fold down easily and quickly into a compact form. With the wheeled carry bag, we love that you can transport it so much easier than if you coleman camping chair could only carry it. 150D polyester makes up the upper fabric, and the inner structure is all steel with welded steel feet for added stability. We wouldn’t consider these to be waterproof, as there is no mention of a waterproof rating. Unlike much cheaper ones on the market, these models offer durable full-steel frameworks that won’t snap or bend at a simple gust of wind.
Add the handy wheeled case that it easily slips back into, and you will have yourself an incredible asset for tailgating. But just bear in mind that the Coleman 4-Person Pop Up Tent isn’t exactly a 4-person tent. Sometimes, you might feel worried after seeing its price tag, but don’t worry your amount won’t be wasted.
Model 1 has an average weight, but Model 2 is much lighter and easier to lift around and extend the poles. Both the outer and inner materials used for these models are intended to give you great protection from mild elements. The structure of Model 1 differs from Model 2, as we mentioned in our Favourite Features section. The poles sit at an outward slant, instead of completely straight. With the added guylines and stakes, you are getting increased stability.
The Coleman 13×13 canopy cover is made with a khaki-colored 150D polyester that provides a distinct shelter with its UPF 50+ UV Guard material. It filters out over 99% of ultraviolet rays that can damage skin, especially important for people sensitive to sunlight or those exposed to it for extended durations. Its guaranteed coverage offers worry-free beach trips and helps you focus on creating special moments with family and friends without being concerned about UV radiation. If sun protrection is the main purpose of buying a canopy pop-up tent, perhaps consider one that offers UV ray protection. You’ll find tents on the market with excellent 99% UV protection and two height options with adjustable legs.
This guarantees reliable stability so the canopy can function optimally – thus providing a dependable shelter you can count on while outdoors. The best pop up tents for camping will be waterproof, windproof, durable, easy to set up, lightweight, and very portable. What good would it be if the heavy-duty shelter canopy doesn’t protect you from the rain? While this fabric isn’t 100% waterproof, it is coated with a water-resistant film that will undoubtedly keep you dry during brief rain showers. The Coleman 13×13 eaved canopy is an ideal outdoor shade solution for anyone looking to host a large outdoor event.
Items may be display models or not exactly as shown and may not be available in all stores. Not all pop up/instant tents are waterproof, some are just water-resistant. The Coleman instant tent is waterproof and in my experience does really well in even heavy rains. The entire instant tent weighs only 6 lbs, that’s counting the small included tent stakes, storage bag and pop up tent. The smaller size does make the Coleman two person instant slightly better for colder weather as it’s easy for two people to keep it as warm as you can keep a tent.
