MC Canvas Tent Bell Tent 16.4ft*High9.2ft with Stove Jack for Glamping Family Camping Zipped Removable Floor

I bought this tent because I wanted a bell tent with higher walls. The price was decent and the tent was advertised at a much lighter weight than similar 100% canvas tents. I was fully expecting it to be junk, though.That being said, it’s not junk! We have had it up about 3 weeks, one of those weeks was at the beach right on the ocean dunes in the wind and foggy mornings. The tent held up well with spiral stakes. No water leaked into the tent and the stove jack worked really well. The top of the vent can be raised and lowered to accommodate different weather or venting needs which is something that no other tent I have found offered. The tent was easily heated with a camp stove. And stayed cool with the windows opened. The sand was easy to clean out of the tent with the floor partially unzipped.With a few upgrades this is a REALLY nice tent. I love the high walls. I would definitely recommend purchasing better stakes for different soil conditions, have the tent corners reinforced by a seamstress, and maybe have the zippers replaced. The zippers aren’t terrible but I would take care with them. If you want major stability you could also replace the center pole with a better steel pipe. With a few of these cheap upgrades this tent is 100% better than the $3000 name brand canvas bell tents. It’s lightweight as well at 1/4 - 1/2 the weight of a canvas bell tent. I am incredibly happy with this purchase and am probably going to buy 2 more for family trips.Highly recommend!

Easy to setup. In fact I set it up by myself. Second person would be needed on a windy day to hold the center pole. You can see though some of the stitching at the corners, but nothing some seam sealer wouldn't fix. I put it up for 3 weeks, went through 2 rain and one wind storm without issues and no leaks. If you are going to use it where the soil is loose or sandy, invest in some spiral ground anchors. While the stakes are better quality than most tent stakes and up to the job for a hard soil, there is a lot of side pull on the outside stakes and wind will pull them up. Definitely a nice beginner glamping bell tent. During the rain storm, I entered the tent and water ran down my back getting in due to it not having an eve. I used a piece of pipe insulation to catch the water and route it away from the entry (see the pic).

It has been set up for a month now and seems to be holding up well and been through a couple rain storms with no leaks! Easy set up. The zippers are a little tough and do not glide easy everywhere, so it takes 2 hands to zip/unzip, but not that big of a deal, yet.

Pros: It's cute. I love that it's open and airy and any of the sides can be used as a door. Also, it was easy enough to set up that my kids and I were able to do it on our own.Cons: It's not canvas. I'm not sure why the title says it's canvas, but it is not. It's a typical camping tent material...unless they were able to make canvas look and feel EXACTLY like nylon. Also, a buckle used to tighten the roof snapped, rendering it useless. No one was even near it when it broke. So strange. Looks like it broke at the buckle "seams", so I think it was just poorly made. We'll be returning this tent and purchasing an actual canvas tent.
