how is it in the wind? My sister inlaw got a coleman cabin tent that was huge. we got a dome tent. hers flew away and we slept right through it.

Not a good tent for windy conditions IMHO. The design is a tall square. It can take wind but dome will be better if you anticipate heavy winds.

We had rain and gusts around 30 mph in the woods of Northern Arizona's Rim Country. Properly secured we had no problems. I do recommended upgrading the tent stakes though.

I haven't had an oppurtunity to use the cabin tent yet, I'm planning on taking it out this July. From previous experiences the dome is the way to go if you are going to be in an exposed location, fortunatly the area I will be camping in will have minimum exposure to wind and ample anchor points.

Question. I'm told this tent is not good because the roof is solid and dew will build up overnight from your breath and drip in the morning. Is this true? Most tents have a mesh top with rainfly over that.

I haven't had the tent out in the rain, but all the Coleman's I have had have effective rain flys. The front porch is covered by the rain fly, but if you were in a bad rainstorm or if there was a lot of wind, the front canopy would probably end up wet.

All room walls and the 'front door' have cover flaps that zip closed from the inside for full privacy. We haven't been in extreme weather but it's a really great tent for the price, should do well in reasonable rain/wind. I always make it a practice to take along a couple tarps (one under the tent) duct tape and extra tent pegs. Btw IRecommend investing in 10 or more strong (metal) tent pegs and a hammer or hatchet. The ones that come with the tent are cheap, break easy. The 'patio' is great, we had a small fold up table & 3 coolers in there with room to spare.

Best tent ever...Easiest to put up and take down..I'm a 48 yr old woman and lived and camped in one all summer by myself. I thought it would end up being a rinky dink thing because of its ease but its GREAT> Perfect size. It did great in winds about 25...I did hook up the tie downs tho and staked them in good and tight..enjoy! (mine is orange tho?)

Took this tent to burning man last year, which is daytime temps of 85+ everyday for 10 days -- stood up very well to the wind, the canvas kept the playa (the fine dust) out and we had a battery powered fan going inside the tent for when we needed to knock out during the day. We had our tent pitched in the shade, and it worked out well for us. I won't say it was particularly pleasant to be inside during the hottest part of the day, even being in the shade with a fan, but it worked for us. That said, when this tent is closed up and in the sun it heats up mighty fast. If you don't have any shade to put it under and it's going to be 85 out I would recommend something that isn't made of canvas -- if keeping cool during the day is important to you.

If u take the 20 min at most 30 to set it up well then i have had no problems with highwind or bad rain. If u do have water running under the tent it will pull the heat out of your body without a good pad or blanket under you. And i havent set it up with the cover off in high wind. It may move a tiny bit but nothing to worry about.

We lowered it to halfway down on windy days. You have to squat down to get under neath but we were sitting in chairs anyway so it didn't obstruct our view. It will work as long as you don't raise it all the way. It's really a great tent but if it's super windy all the time you are on the beach I prob wouldn't bother.

yes a lot of wasted space at top, but you wont find a better tent for STRONG winded bad weather! For two people it is actually very comfortable.

Mine did not through 2 really bad storms. But, because of the design, I couldn't keep the windows open so I purchased the rainfly. Not only can I keep the windows open for ventilation, but I have greater peace of mind. I'm just used to having a rainfly. I've been camping for 40 years and began using Coleman roughly 30 years ago and have never had the desire or reason to purchase anything else. My entire family uses Coleman tents

Not sure about that. There is a vent in the top that might allow dust to enter if blown in by heavy winds, but other than that, no more so than any other tent. Also, it's got a large profile to wind, so if that's your concern, might be an issue.

I had a double high twin air mattress in the tent, as well as a single height queen. It was a fairly tight fir but we did very well in a severe storm, without any water leakage, and no my mattress, the double high twin, did not touch the sides.

We just had winds of 45 mph and 0 degree temps and no problem. I did make my own roof mount though. The antennae has no problem!

Hello, I agree with the first reply, you will have to get anchors or something with weight to hold it in place, we use ours when camping with our RV. We have it secured to our RV and to the grounds in many places along its base, and have yet to run into problems when the winds go above 20 mph. Just figure a way to give the base of it some weight and you will have no issues. I is a great tent and we love ours. I'd recommend some anchors cemented around it and you will gain the peace of mind it is secure in place. Over kill will never come back to bite you. We,ather and the winds as front line ahead of the storms are more fierce than many years ago, the negative is the cement, its not like dirt or grass. Your issue is holding it in place to wind. Act of GOD "Mother Nature" something you can't control Think over-kill and you will have no problems.

Ours lasted through one season of arts and crafts festivals. As to the wind, I don't know, we have not been in any high winds as of now.

Easy to do... once assembled, the tent is really quite light and movable . just don't move it any wind. Once you get it over the table, then stake it into the ground and rig the guy lines ( two per pole).There is a fixed loop on the center of the tent to rig a light . I hang a large 200W lamp from mine... lights the tent up like daytime When I use it... a nice table lamp on the picnic table is what I use mostly.Hope you get this awesome tent/ screen house ... It's a total delight....enjoy !

It's a very cool tent but I don't think it will withstand that much wind. At least I have not attempted to drive with it still on.
