Has anyone had this tent through more than one season? Is it durable in different conditions - sand, dirt, grass, wind?

I purchased this for my husband as a Christmas gift. We do not use it often, but so far, so good. There is info on youtube about it, with visual directions on how to properly fold it back up into its original traveling container.

We have been through winds and rain exceeding 50 mph. It did stay up but you need to have better stakes than what comes with the tent. So far we have been in 4 to 5 rain storms with little water in the tent.

Its Excellent. You can stakes to hold it down. The tent also has pockets on both sides, so you can put sand in there, and that holds it down. I have never had to stake it. I only put sand in the pockets and its been fine. Its a great tent.

Mine did not hold up well at all. First time I set it up and used it under what I would consider moderate winds (12-15mph with gusts to 20 mph) and I had a pole snap and tear open the tent material. All lines and pegs were used. I bought it last fall for family Christmas, used it in June (can't return) and not sure what to do with a torn tent with a broken pole. I am pretty disappointed with this Coleman tent.

It's not a 4 season tent. I used it down to the mid 20s and would say I was pushing it as far as being comfortable. It did keep the rain and sleet off, but any colder and it would not be comfortable to me. Pretty much the upper 2/3 of the tent is all mesh unless the rain fly is used.

We used ours at the coast last year and it rained during the first day. It was a misty rain, nothing really hard but it was steady. Everything in side seemed fine. I would bet it couldn't handle a downpour for an extended period but most tents will eventually leak if it rains long enough. It should handle a summer rain.

I only used it once this past summer but we loved it! Material is very similar to a tent. It's just not good one a windy beach day.

I have only used this tent twice and both times have been during torrential down pours. I have had absolutely NO problems with water inside the tent. Assembled correctly, the tent will withstand the elements.

We live in New Mexico with similar climates it sounds like. It holds up well. However we plan ahead with cases of strong wind and lay it down on it's side in the mornings before we leave for work or at night before bed. My sister has one as well for her kids, and they have it filled with a sand and water mixture, and the don't lay it down like we do. Hers has not fallen. Hope that helps.

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.

It depends. It will withstand up to 30 mph winds. Anything higher and it will blow away. I found that out when I put it up in my backyard. We had sustained wind of 30-35mph and gusts of up to 55 mph. I not only buried those tent spikes but put a couple of bricks to hold the tent down. Didn't help. Other than that, with a little wind, it seems to hold up. Just have to anchor it with some bricks or rocks on the inside. Hope that helps.

Yes, for us this tent withstood very extreme conditions of high winds and even substantial snow loads. I would not hesitate to say it would be able to be rented without issue.

I think it would hold up pretty good. You "nail" the tent down to the beach with stakes. So the better you secure the stakes the better it will hold up.

Yes this tent is absolutely great in bad weather. There are 6 places where you can stake the tent into the ground and maybe 6 more places where you can tether the shell. So yes it will withstand the wind very well as well as the rain.

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&gt; 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?)

I haven't used it but I can't I'maging doingng that. It is durable enough. For repeated use but I don't believe it was meant to replace a regular tent. I got it for emergency use. Hope this helps
