I saw this tent in the local ads with rainfly but no awning. Is that possible? I thought they are one piece.

I bought mine a couple of years ago and absolutely love it. It's simple to put up and extremely spacious. What you see in the picture is exactly what I have. Both the rain fly and the awning were included. Did it say it didn't include the awning? I would contact Columbia if this is the case. Especially if the picture shows the awning.

Yes the rainfly and awning are all one piece. Maybe they mean the poles that pop the awning up are missing?

I haven't looked at the tent in a while (it's been in the shed since the one time we used it in 2011) But best I remember that front awning was indeed connected to the tent body.

AAK is absolutley correct. I should have mentioned that the awning rolls up nicely. You can't go wrong with this tent.

It's all mesh except the doors. I don't know if I would use it without the rain fly on it, but it would be great on a clear and starry night! You would defiantly want to keep the rainfly doors rolled up in the summer to get some ventilation. I've used it in teen degree temperatures and it was livable. It's certainly a sturdy tent in the wind. And snow/rain tight. Recommended.

Yes the rain fly comes with the tent and it's necessary as the whole roof is screened and open (a real nice feature on hot days)... Also, I would suggest keeping the rain fly on at all times, even if it isn't going to rain, because the screen roof collects dew and 3-5am dew drops are no fun...

Just looked at the pic of this tent. It isn't the one that I have. it looks like it has metal hangars. Should be good.

It doesn't come with a footprint. The bottom of the tent (and the first 2-3 inches of the sides) are a similar material to the rainfly, but above that is mesh. I just use a tarp beneath mine, with the excess tucked under (the tent has an unusual shape to it) and that works just fine. I have not tried it without one yet, and I suspect that (at least in the super wet area I live in) doing so might not go great.

I purchased 2 of the tents, the tents themselves are waterproof.....with the rain fly....it just means you can open the screens on top without rain getting in.....I purchased both tents and rain fly.....I have gone thru some pretty rugged camp in....and I have not had any leak issues

I had the same problem, so when I wrote to the company, I asked them about using poles to hold up the awning. They said it would be fine, so that is what I have been doing. If you can find a way to make sure it holds if there is any wind, it would be the best way. I use rubber cane tips on both ends of the poles I use. Hope this helps.

When our granddaughters camped in this tent last month (March 2013), temperatures were in the mid-80's during the day and near freezing at night; so I have no experience camping in this tent in the summer heat. However, there is more ventilation than is visible in marketing photos. A large portion of the roof at the far left and right ends of the tent (as viewed from the entry door) are screen material, and this is not obvious with the rain fly installed. This allows air to flow through the top of the tent, while preventing rain from entering. In fact, the rain fly must be installed, if you wish to have any privacy from nearby campers.

All sides have "roll up" rain flaps. Two sides have "fixed " screening. The other two can be totally opened including screening or have the flaps used as awnings with screening in place. Note that both of these flaps and their associated screens have a Zipper down the middle and at either edge.So the configurations you can create are incredibly flexible. Also the zippers are probably the best quality i've ever seen.. I find no negatives with this wonderful combination tent/screenhouse.. buy one. You'll love it !! Good luck and Enjoy !!

I found that there is no parts for this tent. I had the same issue as well. Because of the price, it's a throw away item

Hello John, I believe that the rain fly is an excellent addition. While the tent top is not mesh and it is water-proof, you need all of the windows closed to keep the rain from coming in. However, with the rain fly, you can still have the top of the windows open and not have any rain come in. I prefer this as it allows you to maintain some air flow. I have used mine in some very heavy down pours and did not have any rain come in. I believe that this is an excellent tent with the rain fly.

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.

The rain fly (all of the orange) is staked into the ground all over, so that would not work. If you set it up without the rain fly it would just be a netted dome, completely see through. If you still wanted to do that I THINK it would stand ...there are just two poles criss-crossing the tent, they create tension when you put the end of the poles into holes on the each corner of the tent....I'm pretty sure it stood before we staked it into the ground....can't be sure, haven't set it up in a few months....

It's not a tent...it's a canopy and has no sides. It does come with stakes, but in loose sand, they probably won't work well.

If I ever looked at who manufactured the awning, I can't remember. I bought it for a woman across town, who I have been helping with her home projects. It appeared to be a decent unit for the price and went up and worked just fine. All the reports from her have been very favorable. I hope that is of some help to you.
