The other tents in this guide all have bathtub-style tape-seamed polyester floors, which is the standard among high-quality tents. The Sundome’s tarp is clearly a budget material, but for what it was, we found it user-friendly. It’s easy to mop up after wet paws and spills, and it doesn’t hold moisture. It’s unlikely to be as durable, though, as the softer, stronger polyester found in our other picks.
Its fly extends into a huge front vestibule that can store large items like bikes, or even accommodate a table and chairs. Adults over 6 feet tall will be able to walk upright inside this tent—which has almost-vertical walls that can easily accommodate beds, cribs, and cots—as well as in the vestibule. A full rain cover, two vestibules, and an extra-sturdy pole structure make this the best choice for couples who want to get outside in any weather. It’s pricey, though, and unless the other couples’ tents we recommend, it doesn’t include a footprint. I have been tent camping for over 20 years and have always had a cabin style tent and endured many wind and rain storms.
If not for the tarp, all of my gear would have been soaked through and ruined. This would have been especially bad and expensive having occurred during a medieval re-enactment event. When I began to put in the stakes I observed that even the stakes were inferior compared to my older stakes. The stakes that were provided were half the diameter of the stakes that were once provided. Again this raised my suspicion and I looked this tent up online.
I purchased this tent to take to music festivals and such, because it is like a small house. One day into a 3-day festival, I returned to camp to find both of the large poles snapped right in two. I live in Canada and find these tents to be very good. If you a experienced camper like myself you would know that you have to use a tarp to cover your tent so that the water does not get inside when it rains.

I had to tie the tent up to the picnic table and my boat in order to sleep tonight.
I have been camping all of my life and I know camping gear. This is just to let you know of my background and my knowledge. Your tents are not even good for more than two or three camping trips before the ozark trail table 10 has to be replaced because of your substandard zippers you put on the front door. The biggest material difference between the Sundome and our other picks is its crunchy, tarp-like polyethylene floor.
