Not really. It is pretty thin nylon. Blocks wind ok. As far as "people" it is a pretty small tent even for one person.

if u notice how shiny the outside of the tent is - its a polyurethane coating for shedding h2o & which goes along way helping keep out wind out & body heat in - its amazing what a simple army surplus candle - stove in a can ect. will due 2 keep u toasty all night - when it was real nasty i had a single mantle coleman lantern that would literally run me out of my other dome tents - WARNING VENTILATION IS A MUST WHEN BURNING THESE PRODUCTS- ive been camping since i was a kid with my family -

yes, but no. A room with higher humidity will hold heat better than a room with low humidity, so you'll probably notice that the air feels warmer. But it's not actually because it's releasing that much heat.

I've found that it does not produce much heat at all. Mine is on an open deck so the heat rises into the air. It might feel warmer if placed under some type of covered area which would trap the heat nearer the ground, it is a beautiful affect but not warming.

We do not find it to be excessively warm. We are very happy with it; it is in our travel trailer.

No. It's a target temp for cooling only, as if anyone would choose 89%! There is no heater function in this.

This may be fairly normal. Is it making plenty of heat? I know it should be able to heat a tent very nicely in an hour.

I used this tent for the first time about 4 weeks ago. In North Georgia, The top mesh ceiling does not zip. But the windows do. I used the fly, and closed the windows, used a heavy duty ground cloth under then. Then covered the floor with a quilted moving blanket. Night time temp dropped to 42, The inside air temp was comfortable slept on a air mattress with sleeping bag comfort zone down to 0... I love the tent.. 2 tips for anyone with it, be careful of the top hub and bring a bungee cord when you take it down , open windows to get all the air out when you put pack up. Oh and find a bright string or ribbon and tie it to the loop at the front door, it is hard to find door, if you set up in the dark.. ribbon makes it easy.. I love my tent.

Took this tent to burning man last year, which is daytime temps of 85+ everyday for 10 days -- stood up very well to the wind, the canvas kept the playa (the fine dust) out and we had a battery powered fan going inside the tent for when we needed to knock out during the day. We had our tent pitched in the shade, and it worked out well for us. I won't say it was particularly pleasant to be inside during the hottest part of the day, even being in the shade with a fan, but it worked for us. That said, when this tent is closed up and in the sun it heats up mighty fast. If you don't have any shade to put it under and it's going to be 85 out I would recommend something that isn't made of canvas -- if keeping cool during the day is important to you.

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.

Mine stays in a bonus room over the garage and we only heat and cool when we use the room. It depends on your climate, but mine has been unaffected by the temp changes. I was a little concerned, but the kit is really pretty sturdy. It's cute! It can really be played.

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!

We just have sets three quarters of the area & is used mostly for atmosphere not heat. However it does give off a nice heat.

Ya you can grow in it, whatever you want, I use a temp gauge to keep it at 70-75 degrees. It's a great tent, I've had no problems w/it.

It mostly heats the space in front of it. But will warm up the room when it is turned on long enough.

I have been inside a tent at 30 degrees, but inside the tent without a stove, inside the Coleman, it was warm.

We have used it in The Maze, in Canyonland National Park in July and it was over 100 degrees. Because both sides have a door and a large window the size of the door, the air circulated. The roof is white, which helps too. So for us, we knew it would be hot but the tent did not seem to make it hotter.

It's going to get hot in there! My tent is a little smaller but it takes 70lbs without worry ..
