I am near the end of my 3rd season using this tent for camping, from the last of September to the beginning of February, each season. This tent may not be the best looking - outside, but inside it is very roomy. I think it has more usable space than the Trek Model 249 Greenbriar 10x20 that I replaced with this tent. The difference being the higher walls. It has 70 square feet less than the 10x20, but all of the space is easily accessed.Let me tell you about strength. I have experienced 55mph sustained winds in this tent. At first I was concerned, because 45mph winds tore up my Greenbrier 10x20, on 3 occasions - with me in it. It was no picknick - I tell you. One incident pulled 20 stakes out of the ground and flipped the tent from end to end, along with everything inside --- including me. Now that was a ride to remember. But that has not come close to happening with this 10x14 tent. It has much stronger poles and strong cotton canvas. It takes a lickin and keeps on tickin - so to speak.As for setup, one person can easily do it. You lay it out on the ground (use a tarp under it). Stake it down. Put the poles in their proper place. Raise the center pole on one side, then raise the one on the other side. Then raise each end, one side at a time. It will not fall over and it will not tear like cheap nylon tents. Order the tent with a Fly cover. The Fly keeps the sun and rain and snow off the roof. That extends the life of the canvas. The fly is a little noisy when it is windy, but it does its job. If you can't sleep, take the fly off.I only have one complaint with this tent. It is built like an A-frame. Heavy rain and snow can build up on the roof - and cause an end of the tent to colaps. I fixed that problem. I added two inside poles that push up the roof so that snow and rain will slide off. There is so much room inside, the poles are not a bother. I put hooks on them, and use them to hang things on. The poles are not normally needed, but when real bad weather hits, they shoare up tent - making it very sturdy. The poles are expandable in length. That lets me adjust them as needed.This tent is a cabin to me. I have a twin size air-bed on each end of the tent. I have a cloths rack, a cooking table, 2 end tables, 2 kitchen chairs, a propane tank and heater. I have a big rug in the center that makes it cozy. There is plenty of room to walk around without bumping your head on the 8 foot ceiling. Yep, 8 foot. 6 people can sit and talk with plenty of room.As for leaking, this tent has a rubberized floor. It is nothing but quality. The seams do not leak - anywhere. The floor stays dry as long as I wipe my feet when I come inside. It is treated for dry-rot, mold, waterproof, and fire resistant.As for warmth, the canvas holds a lot more heat than Nylon, but it is still a tent. A two burner Coleman stove will warm the tent to 65 degrees in about 3 to 5 minutes. That is 65 degrees at table top height. Stand up and get warmer.There are large, zippered, 6 foot windows on the sides and on the back wall. They have no-see-um screen on the outside; so does the A-frame door in the front.The tent poles are adjustable, so that makes it easy to set up on uneven ground.The zippers are all self-repairing. That means you can back them up and fix the problem - if their is a problem.If you want a tent that will hold up to the rain, hold up to the snow, and hold up to the wind, this big 10x14 may be just what you are looking for. It is what I was looking for --- and more.

The quality is certainly not the highest. The canvas is bit thin, the plastic floor too. And I'm worried about the zips holding up (the front door is already getting snagged after 10 days use). It's made in China. I wouldn't want to count on it in a tough situation.But for the money, this tent is fair value.And the design is charming, and its a pleasure to be in. Its great for camping out in the front yard or for short trips. The first two reviews posted on for the same tent but smaller (10x12) dimensions seem about right to me.

Yes, it Does work. Tension is the key.Looking at the pictures of this tent you can see that it Should work, but you Doubt it, right??Here on the NorthCoast of California right next to that big body of water, we have normal breezes running around 15 mph. When it gets a bit Windy it'll run around 35 mph. Then there's when it gets brisk ;>It's still hanging out in the place I'd staked it when other tents had hopped the fence and wandered down the street.I'd gotten tired of having to replace those nylon things every year or two and wanted something a lot more permanent in a temporary structure.The canvas is IT for me!I like that they'd used a white for the roofing giving you a more open feeling than you'd have otherwise if they'd gone with the base color.I'm very happy with the construction. Tabs, zipper-pulls, netting in doors and windows. The floor is sturdy enough to dance on.The tie-downs and stakes need to be replaced. I'm really very disappointed that this tent has such a poor finish after all the fine work they'd done for the main structure.The skinny and very stretchy nylon strings and skinny smooth metal pins they give you stretch when dampened and the pegs pull out. It's an easy fix, not to worry. Just get a length of REAL Rope and re-do the tie-downs and buy a handful of those lovely orange plastic pegs that have teeths and you'll Keep the proper tension in the roof you need for when you get 3 inches of rain dumped on you, even With the rain-fly covering the roof. You will of course need to re-adjust the tie-downs after this happens. Good News!! Even with a couple of tub fulls of rain on the tent that you'll need to dump off, the tent Remains STANDING!UPDATE:After the ground got SUPER saturated with days of rain and some SERIOUS winds and GUSTS, it's collapsed Twice and the rain fly has completely died. The tie down banding along one edge RIPPED OFF and the ties From the tent to the Center pole ripped off.The rain fly needs to be anchored SEPARATELY if you also have issue with winds. Since it's integrated with the tent, it causes Severe wall flapping and even with heavy duty metal tent pegs doing their Best, it still collapses.NOT A HAPPY CAMPER :(((
Decent solo backpacking tent for the money.
