Would this tent be mosquito proof?

The way the doors open the mosquitoes will get in but probably no more than any other tent. I think they would stay at the top.

It is fully enclosed with at the top and all windows with very fine holed mesh. There are 2 doors that have a very very small holed mesh as well that fully zip. I do believe it would keep them out very well as long as you keep the doors fully zipped.

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.

The tent is best in the summer without the fly. If you put the fly on, youu may roast. You may want to look into a hammock with an attached bug net and carry a rainfly just in case

I think the tent is well made , BUT I it would not hold in 50 + MPH wind That is a very high wind you are talking about. You will need a tent made for high wind and harsh weather I hope this helped

I doubt it. It is very light weight and packs small. One side of it is a little "fibrous" and will pick up leaves, dirt, small twigs, etc. if that side is down, but most of it can be shaken off. If it gets too dirty, it can be machine washed and will become very soft. Basically, it serves as a "membrane" between your tent and the ground.

The tent has elastic and straps in the end that goes over the vehicle, which do a good job of sealing against the elements. Our first use was in rain that turned to hail and nothing got inside. It also seals above the car exhaust, so no worries there. A good dose of repellant around the end of the flap certainly wouldn't hurt. I've used mine several times and didn't notice any bug invasions.

I used this tent on a backpacking trip in West VA in August last year. Some rain, some humidity, some moderate heat. Worked perfectly for that. However, depending on where in mid CA (especially given current hot and waterless conditions), I like the notion of "mesh-ier" :^)

Yes, I think so.... make sure it is set up right with no loose places where water will pool on the top.... great tent!

This is a great tent for children, made of nylon material. You could use it outdoors but I wouldn't leave it out unattended. It's very light weight and probably not waterproof.

I think it would be great, and I think the mesh is fine enough so that mosquitos couldn't get through.

I've used mine only once so far and they didn't bite through it. The hammock appears to be completely mosquito-proof. However, if you plan to sit naked in your hammock, they might have a biting chance.

Yes, the tent is water proof. But there is no zipper on the front flap so rain could easily blow inside. Some reviews mentioned adding clothes pins to the kit to secure the door. If your concerned about water be sure to have soft ground cover or a tarp beneath the tent when setting it up, the floor material could puncture or become weak against normal wear and tear. I wouldn't use as a everyday camping tent but great in case of an emergency and much better than nothing.

Yes, as long as you first stake the corners of the floor of the tent. Then, the rest is easy. I put up my tent on a sand surface so I bought longer stakes and used the ones that came with the tent for the rain fly.

I wouldnt have a problem in a camper but a tent has a different rating. It is a very protected face although it puts out a lot of heat you don't see the elements. I personally would use it but it would be your call.

No. Too small. This tent is just enough for the camper to lie down and sleep without the nuisance of bugs.

I never had a problem with rain with this tent. If rain + strong winds, there's always a chance rain can fly side and underneath rain fly. No matter what tent you get, that will happen. But the rainfly fits on like a glove. You can apply Grangers water proof spray on the rainfly to reinforce the water proofing.

Since you asked, I did a little searching (I have a lot of free time) and found several tents that have the same popup design but are enclosed with water proof material in all areas but the front, which has the bug mesh. These might be more to you liking. What I especially like about THIS tent is the openness of it. I really like the idea of feeling like I am sleeping under the stars without being chomped by bugs. And I like the side opening. Most tents open in the front. But to each his own.
