On the other hand, the mesh in the side rooms is all the way down to some 60 cm above the ground, so the air has plenty of possibilities to circulate under the fly. There are no vents but the main door can be kept open even when it is rating, so this will create enough air circulation, at least when the dividers are not in place.
No data are available regarding the waterproofness rating, but for a summer camping, it should be good enough in any case.Īll the windows and the doors are with mesh and waterproof panels, so you have full protection here when needed but you can keep them open with mesh only for ventilation. But the main body and the fly are polyester taffeta and polyester mesh, and the floor is polyethylene. 1 shorter brim pole that creates a small awning above the back door.1 pole which gives the shape and support to the front screened porch.2 poles for extended sections on the sides.2 main poles that create the central dome.You have the following 6 fiberglass shock-corded poles: Bear in mind that the front porch needs extra space and you have to plan where to set it up. You will need a car for transportation regardless of where you camp, and you will need lots of ground. The 2 included dividers will give some privacy, note that both entry doors are in the central room.įor parents with kids, it is always best to downgrade it drastically, but you really have enough room here for parents and 5-6 kids. So 2 couples can organize the space nicely. You can also put several largest queen size beds inside and you will still have plenty of space. But this is the case here, it has more than enough space for 10 people sleeping on the floor. This is a huge tent, and it is rare to see that a tent really has enough space for the declared number of users. You have plenty of the floored space inside of this giant. I think this is better so, this is an area for sitting and you wouldn’t want to take care of the floor. Note that the porch is without a floor you only have a mud mat inside. So you can store some gear here and it will be at least protected, but this is mainly the sitting area for chairs and a table and for cooking, with full protection against flying insects. But the bigger part of the screened section on the front and on the two sides is without panels.
The front screened porch is an extra half-protected space, so it has its own fly above, and its sides are also partly protected. Such a structure doesn’t keep the warmth, so the tent is not for a cold environment and for strong winds and rain. This is a summer camping tent with a lot of mesh on the ceiling and with a minimal fly which covers only the ceiling. The central room is behind the porch, and you have two doors on this central section, one on the front and one on the back. The tent is with three rooms, the two side rooms are with the windows which you see in the top picture above. The picture above shows how it looks when it is staked completely.
The tent is not freestanding, so you have to stake it down and you will need lots of the area, so plan in advance. Here is the tent shown without the fly, so the poles are visible and the front screen. Actually, there are more 10 person tents from the same brand with very similar descriptions, so try not to get confused (if you can). This tent should not be mixed with the Ozark Trail Cabin 10 tent, or with the Ozark Trail 10-Person 3-Room Vacation Tent with Built-In Mud Mat which is a smaller tent and without the screen porch. It is also included in my list of 3 room family camping tents. So this is an extended-dome style tent in the true sense as you can realize from the picture below. In fact, this is a tent with fiberglass poles which create a typical dome structure extended on both sides. You will see it in some videos described as a cabin tent. This is a new tent on the market and there seems to be some confusion in the terminology.
