Outsunny 4-5 Person Pop-up Camping Tent Waterproof Family Tent w/ 2 Mesh Windows & PVC Windows Portable Carry Bag for Outdoor Trip

Product Information

Manufacturers don't appear to take storing kit into account when labelling tents, so you might find yourself short on space. The classic pop-up tent is ideal for one person or a very cosy couple looking for somewhere to sleep, rather than basecamp in for any length of time. The large round bags are awkward to carry, so a car is generally needed, even though they’re quite light. Regarding climate & seasons, they describe it as a 3-season tent and this can be so, but it does not mean you will have a great tent for so many seasons. You’ll want to take an eye mask if you plan on sleeping past dawn as it is very light in the mornings – but you’re using it for adventure, rather than sleeping off festival excesses. UV protected fabric, good waterproofing and lots of internal storage options make this a thoroughly practical tent for anyone who wants a comfortable time under canvas but doesn’t have any interest in faffing about with poles and pitching.

Once you’ve kitted your kids out with a pop-up tent, make sure they also have a warm and comfortable sleeping bag to snuggle down in. Our kids’ sleeping bags are the perfect size to make your kids feel cosy throughout the night. We have kids’ sleeping bags for any climate, including our mummy-style sleeping bags for those colder nights and envelope style sleeping bags in various colours and fun prints. With such walls, with windows on all 4 doors, and with a peak height of 76.75 inches (195 cm), this is a tall and pleasant construction with lots of volume inside. Note that the windows are with mesh and zippered panels.These are the only 2-layer areas in this tent, so this is a single-layer tent. We also take note of tents that struggle against the wind and need frequent re-pegging. Some tents actually blow over entirely. We select the bestselling pop up tents, buy every pop up tent we test and take them to a field to peg them up and record how they stand up to the wind and rain during a blustery week. Pitching and collapsing It’s expensive compared to basic pop-up and fast pitch tents, but this high-quality design is made using tough ripstop polyester, has excellent alloy components and is extremely waterproof. It’s an investment, but will last for years.Then folding the tent in half vertically, and then again horizontally to leave you with the tent folded into a circle Decathlon popularised the pop-up tent and revolutionised festival camping, but those early designs, while easy to put up, were extremely difficult to fold away again. Thankfully, the design has evolved and, while it’s still incredibly simple to pitch, it can also be put away without (much) swearing. Courtesy of colour coded straps and clips, it’s easy to fold the tent in half, after which a pull cord system then holds everything in place while you fold it again to fit the bag. It’s still a faff, but so much easier than previous versions. The poles: You have an interesting combination of aluminum and fiberglass used for the frame. This means the tent is with 4 aluminum legs poles that continue to the roof with fiberglass extensions. There is one short fiberglass pole (shown below) that supports the awning. Awning pole, 8 stakes, and guylines.

To pitch, you simply peg out the flysheet and insert the pole. The tent’s inner can be removed if you want to use it as a sunshade or bivvy, and if the weather is warm the centre pole can be extended to increase airflow.

Be warned, though, that you’ll need to be at least five-feet eight inches (172cm) tall and have a relatively strong grip to lift and clip the tent together. While they take a little longer to pitch than pop-up designs, inflatable tents, especially large six to 12 person designs, take a fraction of the time to pitch compared to standard large tents. Just peg out and pump them up. They’re expensive and often hard to deflate, but great if you’re planning a week or so under canvas. We pitch and peg out each tent following the instructions, taking into account how long it takes us, how straightforward the process is, and any struggles we have along the way. As long as the sky is clear you might do great with such a tent. The four windows with mesh should give enough air circulation. But when it is raining, you have to keep everything closed. In such circumstances, you would want to have floor vents and also roof vents. Both are missing here.
