Could this be used for a Winter overnight? (Not as a heavy-duty 4 season tent, but as an occasional cold-weather campout.)

If you would sleep in a screen tent, yes. If you wouldn't, no. Wind and cold air would blow right in under the rain fly. ....too cold for these bones!

Coul not handle overnight 4 inch snow storm with wind, but within a protected campground and temperatures above 10 yes

yes, you probably could. The biggest challenge is flexing the poles, but I think it can be done. Most smaller dome tents are easy to set up.

I cannot attest to whether this is good for the winter, as we have no experience with that. I suspect due to the tent's shape, snow will not accumulate on the top and it should do well. It is free standing but would require stakes on the ground if it is very windy. The stakes that came with it are small, but bigger ones are easy to get for little cost.

This stove is kind of big for a "small" tent. It's more suited for a larger canvas tent like Cabela's sells. I haven't been able to find a small tent for winter camping that suits my needs so I've decided to make an umbrella tent (probably about 9' X 9') out of the silver colored tarp material and make an ammo can wood stove to heat it. Both can be found on You Tube if you're interested. Good luck, stay dry...... //Bruce//

It's winter and we don't have the tent pitched, but I'm guessing the 10X10' is probably down to around 8X8' two feet up. I don't think 4 people could sleep on cots, but 1 or 2 people definitely could. Just remember the roof is not waterproof without the optional rainfly over it.

I would not recommend using this as an outdoor tent. It is not weather proof and has vinyl material.

Well for my use it is. There isn't any snow or really harsh weather, so yes for my use it is a four season tent and it is free standing.

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.

I think it may be a bit large and may not withstand any weather you may get. Its more of an indoor/good weather tent. I would suggest a kennel-type shelter. Maybe look on craigslist for a used one.

I think so. I'd lay a blanket down first to protect the tent floor. It's definitely not made for outside use. It's thin nylon and wouldn't provide much protection from the elements. But for outside play during the day I think it would work.

I used mine for camping, but it was never set up in bad weather for extended periods of time so I cannot say for sure.

You can, but it's not specifically built to support that. I would suggest supporting each leg of your tent, instead of just the four corners.

Yes, this is a four season tent. We have used the tent in North Maine woods and at the Bay of Fundy Canada in the real late fall (5-10 degrees) with lite snow on the ground.

I do not live anyplace where it is going to snow on a camping trip, but based on the size of the poles and the tension that the tent is erected with, I would say it will hold up to snow pretty well.

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.

Definitely. When you are in a tent put a crack in a window or door always. I have used this heater in a 10' x 10' tent and left on all night in 30 degree weather.For safety I suggest you heat up the tent and then turn off before going to bed. Also be sure there is ample room all around the heater to prevent an accident/fire.

most likely, it's a great tent but you might need better stakes for snow or high wind. structurally it should be plenty strong.
