The Tungsten’s two brow poles create an especially effective awning over the tent door, so very little water gets in when someone comes or goes. Like most dome-style tents, the Wireless coleman cabin tent 6 withstands wind like a champ—it fared noticeably better than the Camp Creek 6 in 15-mph gusts. The continuous curve of the dome shape allows for wind to pass over and around it.
After about 15 to 30 minutes of light rain, I noticed that water started seeping in through the inverted seam connecting the black fabric of the tent body to the bathtub flooring, because it has not been seam taped. Each “room” coleman pop up canopy can then fit either 5 sleeping pads or sleeping bags, or 2 queen-sized beds. One room, on the left side of the tent, will have 3 windows and the hinged D-door, while the other room will have 2 windows and the other door.
I felt the most comfortable in this tent in the hot summer days, compared to my other 10-person tents. Also, instant tents have a much bigger packed size than regular tents of the same size. And also, the hinged D-door is great and super user-friendly (though it still snags if you want to zip it up), but the other door without the fiberglass poles does snag from the outside because of the yellow rain cover. Even in light rain, majority of the mesh will get wet, as you can see in the picture above. I could crack the windows open a tiny bit in light rain, but in heavier rain, it’s best not to.
You can also save quite a bit of money by opting for a tarp instead. These will run you anywhere from $10-20, depending upon your desired level of quality. The Instant Tent 6 is also lacking a couple of other features that would help it compete with several similar tents. There’s also no room divider, but this was less of a priority given the lack of entryways.
The door only opens halfway, a disappointing feature found in other Coleman tents. Easthills Instant Shader Deluxe XL is likely one of the biggest beach tent you can find. Get 99″ W x 53″ D x 57″ H plus a 53″ front porch of generous space for up to four adults and children or pets.
The other tents in this guide all have bathtub-style tape-seamed polyester floors, which is the standard among high-quality tents. The Sundome’s tarp is clearly a budget material, but for what it was, we found it user-friendly. It’s easy to mop up after wet paws and spills, and it doesn’t hold moisture. It’s unlikely to be as durable, though, as the softer, stronger polyester found in our other picks. That mesh also keeps the tent feeling airy and cool in hot climates.
Also, the side walls aren’t as vertical as I expected them to be. This Coleman 10-Person Instant Tent has a peak height of 73.5 inches, and I can reach the top of the tent very easily by just stretching my arm out. To take down the Coleman 10-Person Instant Cabin Tent is the exact reverse of the set up process. Just remember coleman pop up canopy to press on the silver lock button on all the telescoping poles and push on them until they cannot be retracted further. Finally, insert the green-colored fiberglass pole through the door pole sleeve (which can be zipped open and close). These 10 smaller stakes (on the right) are for staking out the tent base.
