  • Sleeps 6, with a footprint of 14 by 10 feet with a 68-inch center height
  • Fully screened front porch keeps the bugs out
  • 4 large windows for maximum ventilation
  • Designed for easy set-up and takedown
  • Weathered system is guaranteed to keep you dry

This All Products give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Just Note: Fair Weather Tent
We purchased this tent for really hot summers. On our first outing, it was close to 100 degrees and humid with a massive thunderstorm in the middle of our extended weekend.

Pro's:
Its very easy to set up with two people and doable with one.
The front screen portion of the tent is enough to have a couple of chairs and a table the size of an end table and even a dog in between, its actually very pleasant.
Sized for 6 people shoulder to shoulder this was more than roomy for two people with a blowup double size mattress.
It will keep you dry in a massive thunderstorm.

Con's:
Things to note; the top tent covering fits exactly and does not have a lot of wiggle room which means that the back window can be exposed if not fitted correctly as it does not have a zip up cover.
The front screen portion of the tent IS NOT MEANT FOR THUNDERSTORMS AS IT DOES NOT ZIP UP; THERE ARE NO COVERINGS.
I would have gladly paid extra for the zip up...

2. Very Impressed
I was excited to get this product, however when I set it up the screen part of the tent sagged in. I did everything to firm up the screen area. I went to Costco where one was set up and tried to determine if I set it up wrong. I tried several times to correct to no avail. I finally figured out that the rod that goes over the screen was too short. I temporarily added a piece of rod to exend it and that did it. Somehow I believe the rod that came with the tent is for a smaller version. Now I have to contact Coleman to try to have a permanent solution.
PS I contacted Coleman and they could not have been more accomodating. They are sending a new pole PLUS a repair kit just to have extra pieces. They were very empathetic and sincerely caring about my situation. I am happy to change my review to 5 stars as this tent is fantastic and if there are problems Coleman will solve them with a smile. Thanks Amazon and Coleman.
