WHITEDUCK Regatta Canvas Bell Tent - w/StoveJack, Waterproof, 4 Season Luxury Camping and Glamping Yurt Tent Outdoor

I recently purchased a 13 ft Avalon to set up on my camping property. I realized once I have this larger tent set up I'm probably not going to want to take it down. So for a couple events this summer and while I prepared a tent pad for the Avalon I decided to pick up this smaller 8 ft regatta. Once you know what you're doing it sets up pretty quickly. Definitely faster than the 20 minutes they claim. I can do it in about 10 minutes easily. Just stake the perimeter, insert the poles and finish by staking out the guidelines. Construction seems very durable. I don't see any issues with the floor but I do put a tarp underneath it mainly just to protect it from punctures. Depending on how tightly you steak in front of the door it can be difficult to zip the bottom parts of the door completely closed. I really don't see it being an issue because there is enough overlap to prevent water from getting inside. As far as livable space is concerned I put a twin air bed inside mine. You can just fit one in between the sides or back of the tent and the pole. Leaving you with the other half of the tent to store your gear or whatever you want. While this tent would work for two people I think it would be very cozy. The center pole just limits the space inside but I think the extra headroom and ease of setup from this design is worth it. I feel that for the price this is a great tent to have if you are car camping and want something that is going to last you a long time as long as you take care of it. This is my first canvas tent. I've owned innumerable nylon tents over my lifetime and nylon invariably degrades from sunlight. Cotton canvas needs its own special care to keep away mildew and such. But I think for long-term durability and abrasion resistance it's a much better choice than nylon tents. Also nylon tents getting incredibly hot in the sun canvas is going to do a better job of keeping the tent cooler.

We've had this tent set up for a month now- the boys set it up in the backyard, very easy, stakes must have been upgraded because they're heavy-duty rebar and nothing outside of a tornado is moving that tent. It's a very rugged, durable, heavy canvas, well-made and stitched tent. The boys immediately moved their cots, TV, Sofa, rugs, and a bunch of other stuff into it and haven't left. It's seen 60 mph winds, blizzards, downpours, -20F, basically everything and it's a very solid and 100% dry tent that looks brand new. This thing is everything I hoped it would be. Downside is the weight. It's really heavy in the bag- like surprisingly heavy. A two-man job to move around with one man on each strap. Also even on a 60 degree sunny day you can tell the tent is a lot warmer, maybe 10-20 degrees warmer, inside. Not sure I'd want to be in it on a hot summer day but it is very well ventilated with 3 windows, roof vents and a large door. UPDATE: It now has about 90 days on it over the year+ we've had it. Set up is quick, tent still in great shape- like new. What surprises me about this tent is its ability to withstand the wind. Boys left it up with a week straight of 40-60 mph sustained winds (high wind warnings every day)- the tent handled it without any issue. I've never had tent that is even close to this one in terms of shedding high winds. Also still waterproof. I don't think you can make a better choice than this tent. UPDATE 2. The main ropes are connect to bungee loops. After a couple of years those get rotted out and need to be changed or your tent will fail in a heavy wind. We just tied some 550 paracord where the bungees were and it's fine. All stitching and tent still in great shape.
