Customer Reviews
Good for the money
This tent is a great buy for the money. It sets up fast and it is spacious enough for two people including space for backpacks, shoes, etc. Keeps water out well, but be sure to use the rain fly and all of it's straps & stakes to keep the water from dripping inside. Careful not to set up on top of sharp rocks or pinecones, as the floor of the tent may wear thin over time. Packs up pretty small and easily and is light. All together it is a great deal for the price.
Great two person tent!
Hello
I bought this tent on Amazon.com (with the free Super Saver shipping) on August 6th, and received it on the 14th. It took me about 20 minutes to set it up the first time, probably longer than most because I tend to be fairly methodical, and about 10 minutes the second time. Not having set up a tent in 30 years, I didn't want to poke a hole in it or anything.
Like others have suggested, I used a spray water-proofing agent on the outside (the lower parts, and the seam where the bottom connects to the actual tent fabric), and the fly. I also used a seam sealer on the inside seams of the tent, as well as the underside of the fly.
I have had no chance to test out the fruits of my labors as yet, but I feel confident that it will shed the rain well. If I missed a spot or two a second application to that area should do the job nicely.
The tent is big, and actually has room for the Intex Queen-sized air mattress I bought at the same time. The inside pocket is a nice feature, but I wouldn't put anything heavy in there for fear of loosening the seam it is attached to. The mesh "shelf" that attaches to the four loops of material at the top of the inside of the tent will most probably prove useful as well.
I looked around quite a bit before deciding upon this tent, and for the money, it was the best I found by far.
Despite a little bit of concern about fitting it all back into the bag, due to the reports I read here, I was able to get the tent, fly, poles, stakes (wrapped in cloth so they don't poke through anything) and directions back into the bag without any trouble.
I highly recommend this tent, and amazon.com as the place to buy it.
Thank you

Pole already broken
The tent was very easy to set up and can fit 4 kids, although it was a tight fit. I was disappointed however, after the kids had been in there an hour the tent collapsed because one of the poles bent. I don't know exactly what they were doing in there but I feel the poles should of held up better. I can no longer use the tent until I get a replacement pole.
Wenzel tent kept out the thunderstorms
I am a novice camper(used hotels for past 50 years) and got this tent for a star party at Spruce Knob, WV. The instructions for setting up were very brief, but I managed to get it together in a reasonable time. More pictures would help. One night we had strong thunderstorms continually from midnight til 4 am. The tent blew back and forth, the lightning flashed, the intense rain peppered the fly and occasionally I felt some spray on my face. However, the floor after all of this was mostly dry and the tent was still standing. I was impressed for a $40 tent with free shipping. At 9x7 feet, it was a nice size for my 6ft2in height and my stuff.
not quite what I hoped for
The tent was easy to set up, but unfortunately our camping trip was doomed by bad weather, and the tent simply did not hold up to a normal rainfall. Even with the rain fly on, the tent eventually leaked so badly that we had to pack up and leave only 45 minutes after getting there. We were so disappointed! The troubleshooting guide in the tent wasn't much help, as the remedy for leaking seams is to apply seam sealer, "which can be found at any sporting goods store." That hint didn't help us much out in the woods! I am willing to put some seam sealer on the tent and try again, but I am disappointed with my first tent purchase. I hope our next trip will go a lot better!
Here's a suggestion for the tent company: if the seams leak, or are likely to, wouldn't it be nice to include a tube of seam sealer with the tent so this kind of thing doesn't happen to others?
