Wenzel Timber Ridge Sport 9-by-7-Foot Four-Person Dome Tent

set up and tear down are way easy. was a little surprised that you HAD to use the rain fly otherwise the tent would be completely exposed. that being said... the rainfly also went up fairly easy too... and the large mesh on top allowed for a lot of air flow. followed the instructions to use seam sealant... that process was a messy confusing pain - i'm glad i don't have to do again... sure hope i did it right and now the tent won't leak. wonder why they don't just seal these suckers at the nice chinese factory? all in all it's a great tent for the price... and i can't wait to go camping again!

Returned tent promptly. Mainly due to the fact that it was too small to fit my needs. Wasn't able to use the tent so that is why my rating is so low. Tent did go up fast and was easy to set-up. The tent stakes were flimsy, and the tent fabric was not to my liking. I think this tent would be great for kids in the backyard. Just too small.

We used this tent during the Labor Day weekend camping. I have to mention that we did not face any inclement during our camping so not sure how it would hold up in rain or wind (hence the 4 start rating).

It was very easy to setup the tent (15 minutes max for one person, much faster with another pair of hands) and was spacious enough for two adults and a 2 yr old kid with some room to spare. The tent is designed adequately for air circulation, especially without the rain fly. The temperatures during the day were in mid 90s still inside the tent it was not too bad.

Couple of negatives though: 1) the poles does not feel very sturdy, 2) difficult to zip/unzip down the door (the problem could be the way I set the tent up).

The bottom of the tent is very sturdy built of tarp like material, but for extra protection we used a tarp below and it worked fine.

Overall for the price I paid for the tent it was a good purchase.

...at burning man without failure. the cord to the rain fly snapped when we were breaking down but no biggie. solid tent even for the playa.

As a first time camper I was very hesitant to buy a tent because I wasn't really sure what was a good brand and if my air matress would fit and what if it rained..etc. I didn't really want to spend a whole lot of money since I don't plan on camping but once a year.

After reading the reviews on here I got the Timber Ridge tent. I'm super pleased with it. It fit my queen air matress with about a foot + left over on 2 sides for walking room. It was super easy to assemble...less than 5 minutes. The screen window in back is nice for ventilation. The price is great and the quality exceeds what you would expect for the cost. When I got the box the tent was so compact that I was worried I got the wrong one, but it just folds up very efficently. As long as you fold it tightly it will go back into it's original bag with a little bit of muscle. Great first time camping experience thanks to a nice roof over my head at night. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
