1. Evanston 6 first impressions out of the box
Here are my first impressions of my new Coleman Evanston 6 after I set it up for the first time. Plus some product details I wasn't able to find before the purchase.

I set it up alone. Two long black poles, two long grey poles, a short black pole for the rear window bow, color coded sleeves, no confusion, no mix ups. The poles are very long and bendy. I found it easier to feed the poles in section by section, unfolding as you go rather than following the instructions to unfold them completely first. The fabric sleeves are not reinforced so check the pole ends and ferules for burrs and sharp edges and feed them in carefully. It was also easier to bow and raise the tent with just the two black poles and then feed the front grey pole after. Less weight to wrestle and less floppy ends sticking out. Toss one of the guy strings over the top and then pull the rain fly carefully over. Then install the last grey pole in the awning and stake everything out. There are several velcro...

2. good but not great
This is a nice tent that comfortably accomodated two adults and two children. It was fairly easy to set up and has helpful features with a vestibule awning to divert rain. The only negative is that the loops through which the external tent poles pass are not reinforced in any way. So I already have a slight tear on one of them after using it the first time. You have to be very careful passing the poles through the fabric. Overall it is very light and seems a bit fragile. But for the price, and with care, it will be a very good tent for us and our grandchildren. I would definitely recommend setting it up on a tarp.

Coleman Evanston 6
I received the tent this week and knew I had to set it up before I took it camping. It barely fit on our deck, this thing is huge! I really like the open feeling it gives, very tall, ample room, and appears sturdy. Setup was done in the typical style of a dome tent. It had two fiber poles(much better than the old wood ones) that crossed each other, then a third hoop to lift up the front a little. This was very straight forward. I set it up by myself and it only took me about fifteen minutes, first time. I haven't tried the rain-fly yet.
Again, I really like the size, being able to stand in a tent is really nice.

What I didn't like was how the material felt a little thin. I actually tore a little 1/8th inch hole in the pole guide while barely pushing. This is not your grandpa's canvas tent! I just kept easing the pole through and working the fabric. I will also be getting a tarp for under the tent, as that is not as substantial as I would like it to be.
