Has anyone camped with this tent during snowfall? Any broken poles? Collapses?

I sent mine back, it did not last in the back yard one night without falling on one side, sad because the price was so high I had expected better, and it got such high ratings,

We camped for couple days in a monsoon and stayed dry and I mean a monsoon. Awesome tent no collapses when everyone else's tent did. We did shake the water off top every now and then.

Winter camping in snow, cold weather, absolutely not. I frequently camp in the mountains in April-early May in New Mexico. I have excellent sleeping bags, and am unafraid to camp if it hits just below 32 degrees. Some folks tack down a tarp (the tarps with the silvery material on the inside) over the tent to hold in the heat. Snow load is not an issue. Snow drifting against the side of the tent will cause you problems. Also in cold weather, with warm bodies on the inside of the tent, with cold air outside of the tent can cause extreme condensation build up on the walls- experience speaking.

The tent has plenty of screens and a roof vent that works well. I would not try to sleep in it with the vent not open all of the way or it will be stuffy. I found that with the roof vent open and the screens partially open it does fine in both summer and winter. The tent handles the rain without any leaks and is a breeze to setup even by yourself. I recommend putting a tarp underneath it to protect the floor from anything that might puncture it. The tent handles the wind really well and makes camping enjoyable by not having to fight with poles coming apart. Best tent for your money in my opinion!

It won't sustain a light snow load. We had 2" of snow and the supports between the side walls and the ridge pole all bent. Also the welds that hold the feet onto the uprights broke loose. I had a similar canopy for 20 years that never had an issue even in heavier snows. The metal part is not as heavy as even the parts of a chain link fence.

Hello, the Tent is pretty good. It survived a few strong storms but overall it was a decent quality Tent. Not the best one out there but decent and good for the Money.

The tent was big enough to hold 8+ people. But our leaked badly in the rain in kodiak Alaska I think you might have problems with winter camping especially if the ground was frozen and you can't get the pegs in. Personally I don't think this is a four season tent but if properly seam sealed which they don't tell you about and you get a good liner for the bottom if might be ok. Hope this helps

I have had it now for quite some time up at a campground set up permanently. I do not keep my eye on it continuously but feel like it would be okay unless it can build up of snow, ice and more snow and ice. It has not happened yet.

Have not camped in snow, but if used with the liner, I really don't see why it wouldn't work for you. It has very wide side door which is a must for getting in and out with your snow clothing. The tub bottom is high off the ground so that's a plus. I've camped in snow in much cheaper tents and they did ok, I am sure this nicer one will not disappoint.

Wish I could help, mine came with the tent. In all honesty it was kind of flimsy though so no big deal if you can't find one.

It's a very sturdy tent. I don't know how much snow-load it could take. A zipper or Velcro will need to be added to the bottom of both doors before I would consider using it in rainy conditions again. -James-

The tent is pretty sturdy, but not for wet weather. It is easy to take up and set up.

It's a 3 season tent. I have used it in temps between 40 and 80 degrees. It does fine in the wind and rain . The roof is well ventilated ; however, it isn't sturdy enough to support the weight of snow accumulation.

It's very comfortable in cold weather and holds up to wind and snow very well. I use a Mr Heater inside and it's quite toasty. Awesome tent.

Since these are not "commercial grade", and the cost to use the tent once, could compare to the cost of a rental tent..., I suggest you consider buying a new tent. I used the tent quite a few times, but one very stormy day, and the poles bent. Buying replacement poles will be much more work, and the poles may not be a perfect match to the tent canopy. Good luck, I hope this helps.

I'm sorry, I wish I could help, and answer your question. I bought this tent as a gift for a friend and i do not know anything about it specifically. I do not think he has had a chance to open it and use it yet. If I do get any feedback from him about it, I will post it on Amazon. I'm sorry that I can't help you out. I know I would like to know all I could about something before I bought it, too.

How do you compare a $200 tent to a $90 tent? I have used this tent at least 15 times camping with a Boy Scout troop in all types of weather from 50 mph winds in a thunderstorm to -5 degrees winter camping, I have not incurred a single problem at all. For the money, best tent I have ever purchased.
