Coleman Tent Octagon, 6 Man Festival Dome Tent, 6 Person Family Camping Tent with 360° Panoramic View, Stable Steel Pole Construction, Sewn-in Groundsheet, 100 Percent Waterproof

Such a nice tent. Easy to assemble, large inside area, the orange colour gives a sunny, uplifting feel. We also purchased the fitted carpet for inside. The carpet was expensive for basically, a large picnic blanket but there was no good alternative. The windows that open all around is a very good feature. It's a shame the main door has no window but that is the only small downside to the whole purchase. It's been permanently set up in a large wooded area, it's been through heavy rain days with no leaks whatsoever. We have had the tent for a few weeks now and camped for around a weeks worth of days, on and off. We are considering purchasing the extention area soon. Both carpet and extension area are expensive, in my opinion but the tent was an absolute deal so I don't mind so much. I'd say this is an excellent choice for many campers. Although, if you have children, I think you'd want a separate compartment for sleeping. That said its a good sturdy design and makes maximum use of all the space provided but being so open plan. I hope the review helps you 😊

The wheelie case is well solid in both the skeleton, wheels and most importantly the material and zip are very resistant. Unpacking is fast and simple and the instructions are very easy to follow making even the first build a walk in the park. The tubular structure is sturdy yet lightweight, all color-coded and lock firmly in the hinges making the frame feel solid and secure. Easy to build solo. The inner shell guarantees plenty of natural light and airflow and allows for the humidity generated while sleeping to evacuate without condensation forming under the ceiling. The weather proof outer shell is very easy to deploy and secure. 2 doors and a divider allow flexibility while both half are spacious enough for a double mattress with plenty of free space to move around. I am 192cm and I can stand up freely everywhere in the tent (can see in the photo how it stands out even from other quality tents. Good number of hooks and pockets to further organise all small items and accessories and to hang clothes, good for heavier coats as well. Very tough floor layer, water and tear resistant. It is just as easy to pack away as to build. Clear and simple instructions and the case is large enough to allow for a little imprecision while still closing up easily. Good for family adventures or a very very comfortable solo trip. Overall great find, great value for money. Great service and communication from this vendor. Best Buy

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. Water did not enter from anywhere BUT THROUGH THE THE ZIPS. there are flaps over the zips but because it was windy, the flaps' velcro bits, which should be top to bottom rather than 3 little patches, flapped and water made its way through the zips. Now when I say water I mean a few little drops on the floor. But when you think about 6 set of zips, it is 6 sets of tiny droplets which may splash on things that should avoid water but we were OK really. During the heat, the windows gave a nice airy space when needed. People said it was breezy at night as window nets let cold air in considering there is a gap between them and the flysheet but in a sleeping bag, well wrapped up- we didn't feel anything. Our very little son wasnt bothered either. It is very spacious and easy to set up- even by one person. You may want to watch videos on youtube if unsure but you cant go wrong with colour coding. Fly sheet may be a bit of a hassle trying to put over a very high tent once erected. But there are easy ways (youtube videos) of doing it. After all, I would suggest this tent for heavy campers as wel as first timers- families and small groups. We haven't used the room divider as we liked the feeing of its big open space. It also has two mats which we used as indoor shoe mats by the two entrances. I have read people moaning that water goes down the flysheet and through the doors when it rains. I found two solutions to this: 1- keep the damn doors closed. It is still airy enough with everything zipped up anyway. 2- give it a punch or two (on the doors) and wait for 5-10 seconds for water droplets to flow down before entering/leaving the tent. My problem was putting it back into its carrier bag after using it!! It happened but took a while... practice made it better. But it was a hassle for me. Hope this review helps if you're in doubt about this product.

We love this tent. Would give 5 stars but the holdall bag ripped when we did our first pack up, routine stuff but poor quality stitching renders the bag unusable now. Will have to get it replaced. Disappointing as the tent itself is great. It’s genuinely logical to put up, colour coded, took us 20 minutes at twilight with midges hindering us. It’s beautiful inside and spacious for our family of three. Room to stand and play games. The fiberglass poles for the door which act like a swing hinge are a genius asset, making coming and going easy. Helps keep midges out too as the door is open for less time. The ‘windows’ are so nice when you want to look out from the tent at scenery or keep an eye on kids playing. Integrated groundsheet gives peace of mind and keeps water out. Handy hooks for light and loops we used for clothes hangers. Delivery of this item was three days late. Thanks to amazon service center we got a guarantee it would arrive for our holiday. But the carrier did not deliver on the day stated or for the next two days. Hope that doesn’t happen to others.

Great tent. Spacious. Good quality and value. Sturdy and zips feel strong.

I was looking for some kind of temporary workshop space with good ventilation to enable a little construction project and this tent came up while I was looking at gazebos. With it being the season of discount tents, the price made it teh clear winner, and once the project is complete it'll be great to have it freed up for camping. Having put it up and tested it in rain, I'm happy that it was the right choice. The wind blows through it easily, which is good for taking fumes away when working with glues and resin. A lot of reviews mention this as a problem for camping in cold conditions because the wind can rip in between the outer and inner layers of the tent due to open gaps around the doors, and then it goes straight through the mesh of the inner layer, so it leaves the occupants exposed to a lot of weather, and while it keeps the rain out, it does nothing to stop damp air blasting through. However, it looks as if the gaps to either side of each of the doors could be blocked just by stuffing pool noodles into them. The gaps at the top of the doors are wider, but three stretches of pool noodle tied together in a triangular cross-section arrangement would again be able to fill that and keep the wind out, so I don't see any reason to suffer. I'll order some and try it. The design of the tent seems to have changed a bit from the description. There is no sheet with the tent to divide the space into two halves, but there are also no hooks or anything else to attach one to, so this was clearly no accident. (Not a problem for me as I don't need it.) The two doormats were also missing, but again I don't mind, given the scale of the discount I got the tent for, and in any case I'd rather use heavier ones with a brush-like surface which won't blow away. The tent came with 22 tent pegs, which means two lots of 8 plus six spares. The instructions aren't great, but I was well warned by the reviews and was careful not to bend the longer pole for the door any more than necessary to fit it. (If you're used to more bendy poles, don't assume that these ones can go to the same extremes.) I needed help from another person to get the outer layer up over the frame, and even then it wasn't simple, but perhaps the trick is not to extend the lower poles until you've got the flysheet over the whole thing. The fly sheet is properly waterproof, so touching the inside of it doesn't drag water through it. It is thin though and clearly won't last for many years of extensive use unless it's reinforced in some way, so I may coat the top side of it with resin at some point to add strength, and if the whole thing fails, I'll just buy tarpaulin material and make my own replacement. Maybe I should just build a new outer sheet for it now so that I can use that year round and save the original for use on holiday where it's useful to be able to pack it up in a smaller space. The frame is robust and will certainly be able to take a little more weight, and the inner tent should last for decades. Note that the corner parts and central part that the poles clip together into are attached to the inner tent, but they can be untied, so you could potentially use the frame with the outer sheet on its own, but it would then take a lot longer to put the inner tent up under it unless you replace the ties with something that can be clipped on rapidly. This is something I want to experiment with, because you want to be able to put the flysheet up first if it's raining. To make that fully practical, I'll probably also have to add rings to the bungees with hooks on the end of them which are used to attach the flysheet corners to the pegging points of the inner tent, and I may also need to get an additional octagonal groundsheet to use for keeping the bottom of the poles in place while the inner tent isn't in use. It'll take a bit of work to find a way to make it happen, but I'm sure it can be done. I did actually consider making my own gazebo, but I'd have needed an off-the-shelf pole system to support the tarpaulins, but the poles that come with this tent are ideal, so there was no way to go wrong with it. I couldn't be happier with this tent's potential; it's fabulous.

For the money, this is excellent value. It’s like a tipi, but lighter & more portable with the handy case, and dries out easier as it’s a tent. Other tunnel tents we looked at were much smaller for same price. We were super impressed with how fast it was to put up- we were being a bit slow on our first attempt making sure we knew what everything did, so took maybe 45 mins. But I would honestly now say 10-15 mins now we know what to do. Really easy, and no threading bars through fabric at all. The only downside was the design with separate top cover (necessary for windows) meant there was a draught and it got really cold at night - so bring proper sleeping bags (we only brought a duvet). The flip side is the ventilation and windows are so lovely in the day - so swings and roundabouts! Super pleased overall, our friend said it’s like a hotel room (once we inflated our deep inflatable mattress) - which is true! We fit our double inflatable mattress, full size travel cot and bags, with plenty of room to spare - probably enough for two single roll out beds if needed.

I have used this tent for several weekends with and without the additional porch which can be purchased separately from many camping outlets. For a couple this tent has a glamping feel but tolerates moderate winds well and is easy to set up. Unlike a lot of tents it has good ventilation even when completely closed. This is because the inner tent has the doors and fly sheet is open at both door ends. A different and well thought out design with steel poles and an octagon shape which make it very robust considering it has full standing height across the entire inner tent. The hinged access door is not gimmick as it is easy to open and shut so bugs don’t get inside. Although well ventilated I did not find it colder than other tents I have used even on autumn nights. In fact the ventilation reduces condensation. There is also very little increase in CO2 levels during the night as measured with an air quality meter. In hot weather the fly sheet can be unzipped and folded back on six sides and the inner mesh still prevents bugs getting in. Even during a heat wave the tent could be tolerated inside. There is a divider which can be placed across the middle of the tent which is not very useful for a couple when camping. If there were more tags a section could be easily divided off for a on-suite washing/toilet area and privacy if windows are open. We achieved this by using fridge type magnets with carabiner snap hooks on the inside attached by using steel washers to back the magnet on the outside of the inner tent.

Acabo de probar mi nueva Coleman, y me ha encantado. Ventajas: - Todas las barras y topes de las mismas vienen identificadas por código de colores, haciendo que sea súper sencilla de montar, incluso para gente sin experiencia. El suelo viene unido a las paredes, lo que es un plus por limpieza y comodidad. He tardado menos que en montar mi antigua tienda, que era mucho más pequeña. - Es muy amplia, nosotros metemos 2 colchones de matrimonio y mesita de noche, queda espacio de sobra para las maletas, etc - Tiene la opción de quitar la tela exterior, con lo que estás prácticamente al aire separado por una mosquitera. Puedes dormir a la luz de las estrellas. - La maletita con ruedas viene muy bien, porque la verdad es que la tienda pesa en proporción a su tamaño. - La puerta rígida te da la impresión de estar viviendo en un bungalow De momento no le puedo poner ningún "pero", a lo mejor el precio. Pero más cara es una caravana. Cómpratela!

I had a really nice tent that I've been going camping in for 15 years. It finally started falling apart so I decided it had to be replaced. I spent hours reading reviews, checking features, watching videos, etc. I finally decided on this tent and now that I've taken it on it's first camping trip I know that I made the right choice! What I liked : It's huge! I had a large queen size blow-up bed, 2 "end tables" (small square folding camp tables) on either side of the bed, my suitcase and all the camping storage bags (tent bag, chair & table bags, etc) in the tent and still had plenty of room to walk around. It's also tall! I'm over 6ft and could walk around easily and almost all the way to the edge since the wall are practically straight. My wife and I set it up easily (the instructions are sewn into the storage bag) and it didn't take us more than about 15 minutes. It also felt really sturdy! The poles are nice and strong and even though the place we camped was in a bit of a higher wind area, it barely shook when the wind gusted (and I didn't even stake down the guy-wires attached to the fly). Putting it away was also fairly easy. I was worried about this after reading reviews, but we had no trouble taking it down and it all fit easily back into the storage bag. What I didn't like : I had a couple really minor complaints...the swinging door is a bit of a hassle. The ground we were on wasn't totally level so the door ended up not shutting quite right. The little velcro pieces that hold it closed didn't line up exactly, so we usually had to zip it closed due to the wind blowing it open. And the door zipper was constantly catching on the tent fabric so you had to be really careful when using that zipper. This wasn't a huge deal but kind of annoying. Also, it doesn't have an opening for an extension cord. We camp at state parks where power is almost always available so it's nice to run a cord into the tent. We ended up running it through the "back door" of the tent and then tied the zipper pulls together to hold the cord in place. Again, this wasn't that big of a deal but I missed having a dedicated place to put the cord. Overall, great tent! It's so roomy that it really made this years camping trip a pleasure!

Bästa köpet på länge. Stort och rymligt. Lätt att sätta upp. Perfekt förvaring i väska med hjul. Snyggt också. Vi hittade en fin Campingplats och slog upp tältet vid Lago di Como i Italien.

Excellent matériel de camping, résistant au vent, à la pluie, avec une porte qui s'ouvre facilement, sans avoir besoin de se pencher en avant. Tente grande, large, claire grâce à ses fenêtres. Se monte facilement grâce au code de couleurs. Pratique pour un long camping. Lourd si long portage. Dans ce cas, prévoir de séparer le matériel en deux : armature et toile et de le faire porter par 2 personnes. La valise de transport est fort résistante surtout les roulettes que j'ai testé sur un sentier rocailleux.
