VEVOR 4 Season Canvas Bell Tent, 100 sq ft, 7 ft Peak Height, 6 Person, Free Standing, Zipper Closure, Compact Style, Camping & Hiking, Family Camping, Cold-Weather, Outdoor Activities

This thing once secured is Amazing! Now its caved in twice but that's why I said secured...Florida storms in the panhandle are no joke. It stands good and strong now. Just had to get the stakes set good and add some ties to the extra spots and no more issues. Very Pleased with my off grid home. Definately have to have several solar fans to keep it cool inside but well worth the money for the space you have to enjoy!

My wife was extremely happy paired with the Winnerwell wood stove and camping in the mountains it got very cold at night, We were very warm and had plenty of room for our bed and some chairs. The best part was our friends were very jealous and was making jokes about leaving their tents and coming into ours.... two nights out and one friend is already planning to purchase their own.

Fraudulent advertising. This tent is not cotton canvas. It is some smelly synthetic from China.

TLDR: Much better quality than expected for the price, but it is definitely not a true canvas tent replacement. Some relatively inexpensive changes and you can make it function much better than originally designed.THE PROS: At this price point I am extremely surprised with the durability of the fabric and quality of the construction. Most 16’ bell tents START around $1,300, so this is roughly 1/3 of the price.The higher than normal side walls (4.5 feet instead of the normal 2 feet) also allow MUCH more of the square footage to be stand-up height, effectively making it function like a 20’ bell tent in regard to usable interior space. The canvas storage bag is big enough that you don’t fight to fit the tent back in. The stake bag is well made, and the hammer that comes with it is actually pretty good.I originally felt like the peak vent was going to be pretty gimmicky, but it actually made a big difference on an 80° day. The wall poles are very sturdy for this price point, and the grommets they install into make them function very well.This is an absolutely MASSIVE tent for the price.THE CONS:The zippers are definitely too light for a tent designed around tension like this. They should have absolutely built it around more durable ones. Because of this, make sure all the doors are fully closed as you tension the structure, or you may end up pulling the side panels too far out of shape for the zipper to close. If that happens, do not force the zipper. With these cheap zippers, the LAST thing you want is a zipper pull jumping the track and failing. With no access to the end of the zipper track, it would be a pain to get them back functioning.The stakes are not sufficiently sturdy (like almost all mass production tents). The ones on the floor pan are fine, so long as you get good tension on the roof and outriggers. With the roof designed under tension, the stakes for the outriggers need to be upgraded desperately. Also, the outriggers should have been designed with a webbing strap reinforcing them from the wall pole grommet to the stake at the end. The narrow piece of canvas alone will not hold up to high winds and the tension necessary to properly hold this tent in inclement weather.THE FIX: I bought 2 additional things based on a video review I found on YouTube (Rugsy’s Reviews) that is the same tent with a different brand name on it.1. I replaced the outrigger stakes with screw in ground anchors (8) marketed for holding down trampolines. These are sturdy enough they will absolutely not pull out of the ground, regardless of the wind that hits. The downside to this solution is you have to keep a drill or impact driver in the vehicle to install/remove them. This is definitely overkill, a nice heavy duty tent stake will suffice.2. I bought a 1” webbing cam-buckle strap for each pole (8) that I hook between the ground anchor and the top of the wall pole. This webbing strap is what I use to pull the tension on the tent, not the canvas outrigger. They are the green straps in the picture I provided.The combination of these two changes made all the difference in the world. The tent tightened right up with the straps, and it doesn’t even start to move in the wind once properly tensioned.Overall, for 1/3 the price of the cheapest true canvas bell tents of equal size, I don’t think I’d hesitate to buy this tent again (if available) when this one eventually gives out. I think that with the modifications mentioned above, and proper care, I will get several years of service out of this at the 30-40 nights per year I typically camp.

Good overall, material is sturdy except it needs reinforced more around stake tabs. One ripped instantly, but tent was needed so we made do. Will have to pay to have it repaired. Had no issue with winds or rain, and I like that it has doors all around. Versatile, just wish some spots were stronger for what we paid.

Dont be duped.... this tent is not quality nor sturdy.flimsy in a10 mph wind. cant hold tighness in guide straps.... also not sturdy enough to use on a regular basis. riped below a seam in the wind after ONE day set up. very thin materials and NOT all canvas as one is led to believe with seller descriptions... poorly constructed. not worth this kind of money.... ever. didnt even get to test if it sheds rain or not!

Do your research if you plan to use through 4 seasons. No problems with the tent itself. It served the purpose it was purchased for. The biggest issue is that VEVOR does not make anything to go with it. Due to the size and shape of the tent it was very difficult to find footprints to match for both inside and underneath the tent. This was a big investment and I was very disappointed at how hard it was to find items to help protect it. Not even the half moon carpets fit properly.
