Gazelle Tents 21500 G6 Pop-Up Portable 6-Sided Hub Gazebo/Screen Tent, Dessert Sand, Easy Instant Set Up in 60 Seconds

We purchased the Gazelle last year as a compliment to our teardrop trailer. After using it on many trips we couldn’t be happier with it! The Gazelle literally can be put up in two minutes. The first few times, it may take longer, but once familiar with it, it’s a piece of cake. We travel with two dogs, and with the Gazelle, we can have them out of the car and in a safe environment in a jiffy, so we can continue to set up camp. It is also a nice dry place to keep gear.It does help that my husband is 6’5”... so popping up the middle & taking it down again is easy for him. (They really should have a pull down handle for center of roof for shorter folks). As far as the reviews about it being built inside out, etc... I believe that is user error, not manufacturer. If you do not pay attention when starting the set up, it would be easy to accidentally set it up inside out. Just make sure the side with no seams is showing when you unfurl the wings. If you do this... it is fool proof.We also highly recommend buying the rain flaps. They add privacy and protection from the elements, as needed.Only negative, as others have mentioned, it can be HOT inside. Mesh does not allow for airflow. A portable fan helps. But I would not leave my dogs in there on a sunny warm day. However, the protection from wind does make it a lovely shelter in cool weather.It’s a remarkable addition to our camping setup and I would purchase it again in a heartbeat.

The gazebo provides a bug-free, shaded place in our backyard for us to enjoy. We usually attach 2-5 of the wind panel side wall accessory panels (sold separately) to get more shade and pretty good protection from the rain (the gazebo/panels combination isn't 100% waterproof...but it's good enough in anything but a driving, sideways rain).The zipper 'door' works very well and we've found installing the ground stakes around the outside of the gazebo more than sufficient (though we did take the gazebo down when the remnants of a hurricane blew through). And so long as you watch the video first the gazebo is easy for one person to put up and take down.The only downside is that the mesh is very fine which is great for keeping bugs out but it also cuts down on the breeze. So depending on your heat tolerance you might not want to stay inside as the temps rise above 80, 85, or 90.

I've owned this tent for a year and a half now. Confused by those who say it's not easy to set up. Really all you have to do is pull out the sides which pop into place, and then push the roof up. One reviewer said they couldn't get it and set it up upside down and inside out - impossible. I mean really? You couldn't tell you were standing on the roof and the top was wide open?This thing goes up in about one minute and then you simply stake it down. If you can't set this tent up then you're better suited staying in the house watching TV.My only wish for this tent is that the mesh is so tight it doesn't let the breeze flow through, which is only a downside on really hot days.If you are looking for a quality tent for a bargain price - this tent is it!

This gazebo saved our camping trip!!! Three of us popped it open in under a minute, placed it over our picnic table and proceeded to fill it with our camping gear for 6 people, minutes before a huge rain storm hit. It's extremely well made and water-proof. I am going to see about purchasing wall panels for 4 sides so that when a driving rain hits we will be protected. We easily secured a tarp on one side which kept the rain from coming in the sides. The ceiling is nice and high and we were pleasantly surprised by a 6 inch lip on the bottom which kept the bugs out. When we zipped the doors shut it was truly bug proof as well. I haven't had such a great experience with a superior product in such a long time - this one delivered beyond my expectations. It's ease of assembly, durability and pleasing look will ensure that we bring it with us on every single camping trip from now on!

Pros: Very roomy inside and it looks great (note: this appears white online on all the digital screens I brought it up on, but out of the box it is an attractive tan - I did compare the model numbers and according to the model number, this does match up). It assembled quickly and easily (although I did have the advantage of having viewed a couple different videos prior to purchasing so I knew how to properly unfold it). The side panels pop right out as easily as the videos make it appear. The included carry bag is big enough that you don't spend a lot of time packing it back up and worrying that fabric could get caught in the zipper.Cons: This is a large man's idea of portable (this is the only reason I give 4 stars instead of 5). This is heavy to carry, one end of the bag is bulkier/heavier than the other, and it is very long which makes it challenging to maneuver if walking any distance with it. I knew from watching a video of the assembly (not the one currently posted here) that it is approximately the height of a 6 ft. tall man. This long "packed up in bag" length is going to make it a real challenge to take somewhere. It will either have to be strapped to a roof, or put lengthwise in the back of an SUV with seat sections in the down position. If attempting to put the length into the trunk of a car/SUV width-wise (as I wish we could do), it is too long. Also, I'm too short to be able to reach the center hub to pull it down and disassemble the gazebo on my own. Someone suggested that if traveling alone, a shorter person could tie a rope to dangle down a bit there to grab from (which is a great solution). This difference in the definition of portability is the only reason I give 4 stars instead of 5.I'm looking forward to taking it out and using it. Seems very sturdy.
