This review has been written after a week of camping in Cornwall. Weather in that week has been as follows; extreme heat, extreme windy conditions, extreme rain and all of the above at once...I know nothing about the water proofing levels. So after reading people's feedback saying it was 2000 whatever instead of 3000 as other tents, I bought a most seller water proofing spray on amazon and sprayed its flysheet after erecting it to test it. It was a 10 mins job. So my review does not reflect the original water proofing of this tent.It stood up well in crazy wind where you'd doubt you make it through the night. I pegged not only the corners of the groundsheet but also the windows/flaps very well with a hammer.

Used a few times in rain and hot weather. I love this tent is good quality for the price would recommend. Is HUGE can stand up in it with hinged, structured door flap. So If like me you hate about camping is crawling around and constantly unzipping and rolling up doors this one perfect. Not complaints just some stuff to bear in mind:1.Heavy. Got wheels like luggage but be pain to hawl long distance.2. Assembly is easy all colour coded pole. Can be tricky to reach to get the outer sheet over top if alone. I've managed it but much easier if 2 people.3. Can be bit cold at night.. I think better suited to warmer climate because internal space is massive to warm up and with all round mesh on inner tent the outer cover then has gap to ground so air gets in easy not like sealed bag.

I am completely in love with this tent.I should begin by mentioning that it is still fairly new so I can't comment on wear and tear over time, but I can say a few things:- it is a beautiful thing. It stands out from the crowd. It's colourful and original and with the windows open it feels like a gazebo, and I can't get enough of the door that opens like a real door!- Coleman are a trusted brand for a reason. Within a couple of uses, this tent has been put through it's paces and come out with top marks. It has survived strong winds, torrential rain, hailstones the size of marbles and a muddy river flowing underneath it making walking on the groundsheet feel like walking on a waterbed.

Easy to assemble. Put up in garden before we took camping. Didn't realise the weather overnight. Tipped over because we didn't use the guyropes but just tipping over bent some of the poles. So not that sturdy.We bent the poles back. Took camping. Used all the guyropes. It withstood a week long storm. Fast winds. Thunder. Lightening. Hail. Torrential rain. No leaks. No moving.great tent.Great in size. bought this for two people as we wanted more glamping style of camping. we didn't want a sleeping tent and a storage tent. This tent is big enough to use the separator down the middle. And have a LARGE double blow up bed on one side. With room around it.

Our tunnel tent was starting to wear out so decided to grab one of these when it was heavily discounted at the end of the summer. Was a bit unsure about switching from our serious-camper, sober green, 4 man tent to a bright orange mini-big top, but once it was erected (quickly, in half darkness) and we spread ourselves out in it, no going back. Just two drawbacks - interior is dominated by a dark grey floor fabric and is pretty cavernous, which means that it's very hard to illuminate - even with two really bright lanterns, still feels pretty dark. There's also very little hope of warmth at the start or end of the season when it's nippier, because the inner tent is very perforated (about 50% of the wall area is mesh)

The tent itself is pretty great. I love it to be honest. It took a couple of times putting it up to learn how to do it, but then its really easy, and one person can do it - I'm five foot tall and I did it alone - but it is significant easier and faster with two people. It is fully waterproof, as evidenced by camping in pouring rain on a beach on the Isle of Mull and in the Lake District. It gets lots of admiring comments from other campers tooOne negative was the storage bag the tent arrived in was torn around the zip when it arrived. I don't know how anyone could ever get this tent and all the poles etc in that small storage bag anyway, so I'd say the wheeled storage bag was a waste of time,

I wanted a small tent for the back garden and for school camping trips with my daughters. I already own an 8 person Octagon tent and know how brilliant they are. So the plunge for such a good price on this tent made absolute sense.It is the perfect 3 person tent with a surprising about of space (due to the clever octagon design) for back garden sleeping and play, and as it folds down into an amazingly small bag (I was a bit surprised when it turned up but seems to be an ingenious little tardis) it is ideal for quick overnight camping trips with my daughters.In the 3 days I had it up in the garden, it has been tested out (inadvertently) with beautiful sunshine,

It's almost as big as a circus tent, thus ideal for a family with loads of stuff. It easily fits one king size and one double mattress, leaving plenty of room for bags and moving about in the tent.Relatively waterproof, yet needed a coat of waterproofer to withstand a second thunderstorm. No issues with condensation, since the space between the mesh inside and the outer layer is a good 4 inches plus the ventilation is good due to open doorways. On a windy day you might however wish you had a tent which you could just zip up into a closed dome, since who cares about the nice view through the door when the wind is howling in your tent.Very easy to put up and pack and it pack into a relatively small (yet heavy)

Bought this tent from Costco a couple of years ago and we've used it a lot. First week of use we camped in France and enjoyed an absolute monster of a storm and it rattled away whilst 8-year-old slept soundly without waking. We've taken it on numerous UK-based trips since then and it's done nothing but make us very pleased with the purchase - something we always comment on. We camp with a self-inflatable mattress and proper duvet with pillows from home and we wake each morning commenting on how much we love the tent. We both have dodgy backs and yet we still relish sleeping in this tent, which is no problem to put up (for one) and no hassle to put down.I personally feel sorry when camping to see others in their dark,

This tent is fantastic for a family tent, we purchased the porch / awning separately and together they make for a great size space for a family of 4, tested in the storm that hit toward the back end of last year unfortunately we got caught out by the coast in torrential rain rolling thunder and lightening and winds estimated to be around 50 mph from 10pm through to 3 am, according to various weather apps. not that I would like to put the kids through that loud experience again.I was very surprised that we did not have any security issues with the tent or the porch they both stood up to the brunt of being in an open field on the top of the Yorkshire coastal cliffs in that gruelling weather I dare say,

This tent has a lot of good points. As a family of 5 plus a dog we were looking for a tent large enough to accommodate us all with room to spare and this did not disappoint. 5 single air beds and a dog bed with room to spare.Took me about an hour to pitch, however I did this solo and I feel it would only take half that next time round. Very easy to put together thanks to colour coding and all the joints for the poles already attached to the inner tent. We had a few light showers and the tent seems to be waterproofed well. Zero condensation on inside when we woke the next day. I am 6ft and could comfortably stand even at the edges of tent.Only have one grumble and it is very minor - what i would class as the back door has a window on it but the rigid front door doesn't.

Absolutely love this tent. It's beautiful, easy to put up (haven't tried it on the rain yet though, might be a problem as it's inner first, but it's quick to put up) and fantastic to be in. My six foot husband doesn't have to duck and it feels really spacious, especially with the windows open. It's also the only tent I've had which you can spend time in in hot weather as the windows really cool it down. I imagine it'll be a bit chilly in the autumn for the same reason. We've had it in pretty strong wind, which we didn't even notice until we opened the door. The door is also great, so much easier than zipping and unzipping. There's no awning space and the one that goes with the tent is ugly so we've got a tarp instead.

This is a great tent . Just spent 3 weeks camping . No heavy rains . We stayed dry in all the light / medium showers we did have. The lovely door is a bit of an inconvenience in that it doesn’t stay open . Next time we will be careful to make that door our back door and the roll open one our front door . Having read in reviews that it was really tricky to get the tent back in the bag we took along a £10 sports direct bag in case - glad we did - no way could we fit it in ! And now we can put our small carpet and dustpan and brush in same bag . We LOVE this tent- it’s bright and breezy and easy to put up . We would love to find the perfect awning to make a small Varandah/shelter outside the front door for cooking in the light drizzle type weather .

I liked this tent as I wanted one which was all the same height,there’s loads of room inside & really quick & easy to put up. My 2 teenage kids put it up themselves with no problem. The instructions are sewn into the bag. The divider bit you can put up across in the middle seems a bit flimsy & doesn’t really do a great deal,but at least you have the choice of it. There’s no gap for an electric cable to poke through,as it has a sewn in groundsheet,so we had to poke it through half way up the door,which was fine,as the 2 zips on the door meet in the middle. It has just had its 1st outing & our 1st night in Devon we had torrential rain & high winds,we pegged it well down with rock pegs & it was fine,no leaks & it didn’t move & none of the guy ropes slackened off.

To be honest I only camp at festivals, this has done two Glastoburys, one in appalling weather conditions. Theres only me and the wife in it so we have BAGS of space and, we can literally have ten friends WITH chairs round for a nice chat when its raining outside. It goes up easy and down the same, the rigid door is an excellent idea as is the fact that every side can be turned into big windows. It IS a bit heavy to lug distances but I use a 4 wheel gardening trolley to transport it, easy peasy. How many jealous people look on with envy at the speed it goes up and, the obvious size available to us inside. I am going to get the awning add on next, bit like building a conservatory on a house.
