TIMBER RIDGE Instant Pop Up Hub Tent, 4 Person Portable Weather Resistant Camping Tent, 60 Second Set-Up, Easy Up Tents with Rain Fly and Carry Bag, Orange

Just came back from a four day camping trip with my old tent. The ceiling at its highest point is 4.5 feet. I've had the old tent for three years and I finally had enough of crawling around on my hands and knees. So I ordered this Timber Ridge hub tent that has a ceiling height of 6.6 feet. I set it up in the backyard just to test it out.Of course their claim of a 60-second setup is a lie, but we have all learned that a lot of tent descriptions are "misinformation". The most frequent tent "misinformation" is "it's a four person tent". I've learned that a "four person tent" really means a "two person tent".Setup took about five minutes. First you have to unfold the tent flat. Next you lift up each of the three sides. Then you go inside and push up the top. Next you install the three inside poles on the wall with the door. Next you go outside and stake down the four corners. Then you throw the rain fly over the top and attach the four corners. Next you raise the canopy using the supplied poles and string. If you can do all that in 60-seconds, you must be "The Flash".Being inside this tent is a joy. I'm 5'9" and I can walk around everywhere without my head touching the ceiling. The two plastic windows, the eight mesh windows, the mesh top, and the huge mesh front door let in plenty of light and air. On rainy days, I could see setting up a table and chairs inside the tent to play games on or to eat on.All these great features do come at a cost. When packed in its storage bag, this tent is about 5.5 feet long and about 10 inches in diameter. It also weighs about 30 pounds. So, you are not going to want to carry this tent very far and if you have a small sedan car, it may not fit inside your car even if you fold down the rear seat. It does fit easily in my SUV with the rear seat folded down.IMHO the rain fly should reach farther down the sides, but then in the front it would interfere with the canopy. A better solution would be to make the canopy part of the rain fly. The door could then be a traditional full zip open waterproof door with a mesh window having a zip open window cover. With the current design if you are inside the tent with the front door zipped closed, you cannot see out the front.If you have been searching for a larger tent that you can stand up in to put on your pants, this tent will fit the bill. Just be aware of how big and heavy this thing is and the issues with the door/canopy.

As a 5'5, 135 lbs person, I have no problem setting up this tent by myself. It's the best tent I have ever owned.Cons:- it's big when folded up and it's a bit heavy. It has straps to help you carry it in the bag- because it's very water resistant, it can get a little hot/humid inside the tent, but there are PLENTY of vents.- someone reviewed that it's not a 4 season tent. I disagree. I think if you understand how tents work and the fact that condensation can build up and cause it to literally rain inside of your tent without proper ventilation, you want it to have proper ventilation. If you become damp on your clothes and inside your tent, of course you would be cold, that's why you need to vent. - It closes up well, and your clothing and your sleeping bag should be doing the rest of the job to keep you warm.PROS- you can fully stand up almost all the way around the entirety of the tent. My 6'2" friend was able to comfortably stand in the center and only duck his head a bit around the edges- very secure in the weather when you tie guy down, deflects wind and rain.- extremely easy for one person to pop up, but even easier of two people are working together. One person can do it in less than 6 minutes.

I was truly impressed with how fast and easy it was to setup and take down. We have another tent that is also instant but short and this one was even faster then that other one we had. Really excited for all the space in the tent, the only bummer is that it’s really big and long when folded up and packed, it barely fit in our Kia sedan with seats down. I think this product would be better if they made it shorter but wider instead when packed up. Also, it doesn’t come with a separate tarp for the bottom of the tent but not sure if it’s even necessary

Love this tent. I use it year round with a diesel heater outside. It sets up in seconds and has many windows. 2 cots fit nicely with room to spare. High winds? Not a problem. Holds the heat pretty good.

Purchased 14 months ago. I wanted to spend time with my son outside. Four times, through all seasons, this past year we have camped out for a night. The fifth time, this weekend, this is what we found. The plastic window is cracked and now air and rain can make it into the tent. The rain fly is ripping, so that will be next to allow bad weather in. Super easy to set up, but the quality is lacking. Very disappointed son a few days ago. I tried to email the company, mail box is full, “undeliverable”. Really upsetting situation…

I gave this tent five stars for the overall package, material, and use of the tent. I have had a lot of tents in my camping life and this thing had so many windows I was loving the views.The bottom vent and windows allowed the breeze to come through enough when laying down. The vent in the back not able to close shut was an easy fix with a quick stick of double sided tape!For the company, you should really relabel the tent as Bronze/Orange. It is a great color match and should be noted.The awning/door is the one issue. I won't drop a star for it because it does a great job closed and a good job when open. It does sadden me that you only can do one or the other. Families at night might not like just the screen for the opening when sleeping. The awning should be it's own extra. I would pay an extra 10 bucks for a flap of material, maybe even a thicker/stronger material for an awning.Besides that, what a great tent... The amount of windows are perfect!!

The media could not be loaded. The tent is beautiful, very easy to set up and was a good size for 2 people although it is heavy and difficult to put inside the car due to its length.Another thing is that, it was raining all night and it started leaking on the floor , then the ceiling which made it very uncomfortable.We want to return it but too much hassle.
