Wenzel Dome Tent (5 Person)

I did several months of research and comping through reviews before I purchased a tent. After a lot of narrowing down, I decided to go with this one. I have three kids in scouts and needed a tent that will be heavily used. Set up is extremely easy. After guided practice in the yard only once, my kids ages 8-13 were able to set this up by their selves in under 5 minutes. This tent has so far been on 4 camping trips, including pouring rain. It is durable and does not leek at all.For anyone who doesn't know. Every tent out their has reviews complaining about size. These reviews are written by amateurs that don't know the basics of camping. Anyone with camping experience knows that you always buy a tent that is sized at least one man bigger than the number of people you plan to put in it. The man count on tents is figured by 5'0" people and no equipment.

This seems to be a good little tent. I took it camping over the weekend and was pleased with it. I'll try to keep this short and sweet...The good:For the price, it has plenty of room for a couple of average-size people. I had a Coleman double-high queen air mattress inside of it, a mid-sized cooler, and a couple of bags with room to spare. I forgot my suitcase, but it would easily have gone at the foot of the bed.It kept me dry in the rain, with the rainfly, of course.It allows for plenty of fresh air, especially without the rain fly. Three of the four sides are netted, so it wound be amazing for looking up at the stars, from bed, if you knew there was no rain in the forecast.Has a small net for storing things, which is nice to have beside the bed for cell phone, etc.Feels well-made.Easy to set up. Very fast with two sets of hands, but not a problem with one.Has a place to run an extension cord inside the tent.The bad:This tent has netting small enough to keep out most crawlies, but not all. I woke up with a deer tick bitten into my neck! I will be spraying that netting from the inside out with bug killer the next time, and I recommend everyone else do the same. Spotted Fever and Lyme Disease are nothing to play around with.Zipper catches on rain flap sometimes. Use both hands.I can't see it standing up to much wind, especially if a little strong.I'll update later, but I love this tent far!

great tent for the money fits two people on an air mattress and a toddler on a cot with room to spare not for another person but enough room for cooler and bags ectsecond night in it we had a thunder storm/monsoon hit us and we stayed dry, my 2 year old didn't even wake up:-)all in all you cant go wrong with this 3 person tent unless you try to fit 5 people in it 4 people max

This tent was the perfect size for me, my husband and our small dog on our three-day camping trip; however, I don't see how the tent is supposed to accommodate five people comfortably. We didn't have a lot of extra space with our two 10" inflatable airbeds & a small dog bed in the tent. There was some space at the foot of our beds to store our important--couldn't get wet--gear and a small area between our beds so we could walk without stepping on each other (or our dog). Loved the mesh pocket & pouch on inside of tent to hold our cellphones, car keys, glasses, and other small items close at hand. It rained two out of three nights and we had no problems with the tent keeping us dry. And we loved having the large mesh "window" in the back.

2 adults and 2 kids sleeps comfortably.Easy to set up.Pole that supports the rain fly in front of the tent already broke after 2nd use.Where can I buy a replacemet ?Not tested for rain yet, but seems to stay dry after a misty morning.Would probably buy a different brand after knowing that the pole / support sticks may easily break.

I've traveled to Horn Island in the gulf with a group of art students for the past 19 years. I've had several tents, but my favorite was a Wenzel that I used for 4 years before it disappeared. I was so excited to have a brand new one. One of the poles broke right at the ferrule within hours. We repaired it and it did stand for the next eight days, But stress on the side from the wind caused the mesh to develop big holes and though I used duct tape to cover them, every morning there were new ones. This year we had no horrendous storms as in every year past, and I've never had these problems.

Contrary to some of the reviews here, the tent can definitely actually fit 5 people. We had 5 college students sleeping in it with some gear and it was cozy but worked well. The tent was easy to put up and for back into the bag without any trouble. Just know there is a lot of netting for walls in the tent (under the rain fly) so it lets the cold in a lot. Overall, very happy with the tent.

Pretty good tent for the price. But little metal rods referred to as stakes will absolutely have to be replaced by ones that will actually secure it. I would also recommend a tarp underneath in case of rain, the fabric is thin and could take on moisture quite easily. However, it was easy to set up and break down with adequate space for myself, my wife, and little one. All in all, I would recommend it for a weekend excursion with the additions listed above.

Es muy buena marca solo que cuando la quise usar me faltaba una varilla y pasó el tiempo para regresarla no se confíen en cuanto llegue inmediatamente revisen
