How durable is the tent material?
885521
I spent 3 nights and days in the smokies using this tent with it down pouring on us most of the trip. I had no issues with the tent tearing but after 2 days the inside did begin to sweat a little. I placed the tent on top of a tarp for a lil extra support and a clean place to crawl in and out. This tent really only has enough room for one with gear for a comfortable stay. It's light weight and folds up small while taking less than 5 minutes to set up. I enjoyed it and will use it again.

It's held up well so far for me. I have over a dozen nights in it so far with no rips. The sides are pretty much the same as any tent, plastic nylon material, and the bottom is a woven plastic tarp material.

It is made of rip-stop material and even if it were to get a tear, it wouldn't go far. But yes, the material is pretty durable as well. This is a great exterior frame, backpack.

I would say no because it is not the highest quality of product but for the cost that is to be expected. I used it for a festival camping for 5 days and it worked great but I can't tell you either way on long term durablility.

Fantastic. You'll need weights or stakes to hold it down in windy conditions of course. But assuming its sufficiently held to the ground, the frame and fabric holds up well under some pretty strong winds. We take it for a week's camping trip every year as a extra shade area in what is essentially an unprotected open field. Using 10" stakes to hold it down, the canopy has been through some pretty severe storms. After about five years, we've replaced our old one, as the fabric does wear thin. (A little white duct tape fixes minor thin spots).

It seems to be very durable , not thin at all , I have had soon bad wind storms this year and it is doing well and staying pretty well in place .

No. The tent is made to be light and portable. For use just for dog shows or indoors for a few hours. None of the fabric tents would hold up long in the weather.

No. The tent does have a relatively tough floor but if using a second waterproof material consider using a light weight tarp or poly and cutting it slightly smaller than the tent floor or use it inside turned slightly up on the sides.

Mostly. It's not the highest end of tents I found, but would greatly recommend it for the price.I found I was not rained on after camping in light rain, but did find that the surface of the tent fabric was very moist on the interior.Feel free to ask if you have any other questions.

They are metal. This makes the overall tent pretty heavy. They are linked by thin coated metal cables. Unless you bend the poles beyond repair, they seem like they will hold up.

I'm not sure. We've only used ours at home. Never taken it camping. At home it's been pretty durable but that's based on not taking it down much.

If you take proper care of it, the tent will hold up a while. Mine probably has a dozen trips on it, and remains in great shape.

I bought this going on three years for a friend who has two adult cats, both with claws. The tube runs from patio door to a netted tent structure. Both cats lay in the tent and or tent. The tent and tunnel stay outside year round here in Michigan. The cats have not made any tears in either tent or tunnel. Yes this thing is durable. I would recommend it..

I used this tent for forty days in the Bush of Africa. I personally would recommend this tent for any and every camping trip. The top half is mesh, which was perfect. The first half of my trip was in extreme heat, 90-100 degree weather, but the second half was much colder. And the tent worked well in both. This tent is also extremely water proof.

A heavy duty canvas type material, took ours camping for 3 weeks & no problems. Shows no wear or tear!!

Highly recommended. We took it to burning man last year.. In addition to the heavy winds, sand storms and extreme heat, it stood up pretty good in the rain one evening. I would recommend using commercial grade stakes to keep it bolted to the ground. The ones that are included are to flimsy.. Just my 2 cents..

The tent held up pretty well. It was unfortunately stormy when I used it, but we were nice and dry inside. It doesn't hold heat very well, due to the ventilation, so I wouldn't recommend it for colder weather. The front canopy over the door stayed in place fairly well. I had to re stake it after the rain soaked the ground, but only in a couple spots. The bottom of the tent held up nicely against any flooding our campsite got, and didn't tear from the cot we were using. I was really surprised at how well we stayed dry, we were expecting warm dry weather and got a sudden rainstorm that lasted all weekend. The tent held up pretty well.

We bought it a year ago now. The tent itself was so easy to put up and take down. Per others we also purchased the rain fly ( great idea ). The joints are the part you need to be careful of.
