      Hi, thanks for the comment. I live in Colorado we get the same and it hold up well. Every corner gets staked down and all pop outs are also staked down with a line. These do extremely well in wind. That is why I bout it. Wind is the enemy! Lol. Thanks for taking the time.

    Thanks for the excellent video review. I have looked at a number of camp shelter tents and agree this seems the best overall option. At this time Lowe’s has the best price. I too live in Colorado so I will upgrade to heavy duty, steel tent stakes. There is a reason they are called the Rocky Mountains. Thanks

    • @TheeLightningMan
      @TheeLightningMan 23 дні тому

      Hi, On this trip we did get some drips because it was nonstop heavy rain. Also I did not have all the sides tied down so one popped in that added it to it. Over all we love it. Last trip we had dinner and breakfast in it and it was perfect. Our setup was a couple loungers and a couple chairs with the table against one side. The 12x12 is perfect!

  • @glennphelps9300
    @glennphelps9300 27 днів тому

    I’ve got the cableas 12x12 which is similar but I’ve used mine many times. With this design it is easy in high winds for that center hub to collapse due to air pressure force across the top. You saw how easy it pops up, it can pop down just as easy. Cabelas is made by clam and clam has an optional floor so most likely that floor would fit this one too. Clam uses Velcro to attach the floor to the side walls. Call clam if interested in the floor. The stakes are no good. Get something hefty to go in the ground. You must stake the side panels at all times. Do not go to bed at night and leave the side panels unstaked. If any side panel pushes in from wind, it makes it very easy for the whole tent to come down. Also if you are pitched in the direct sun, you will find the tent interior to get very warm. Air doesn’t circulate well with the fine mesh. I’m looking for a top rain fly with solar reflective properties.

    • @TheeLightningMan
      @TheeLightningMan 26 днів тому

      Wind is the enemy! I have never had the top pop in but I have had the side if not anchored. But over all they do great in the wind because of all the stakepoints. I always replace the stakes with heavy-duty. I camp in the rocky mountains so the ground can be a pain. BUT Wind is the enemy. Love the gazebo we had dinner and breakfast by the lake last night and this morning. Worked out great! Thanks for the comment and for taking the time. .
