They attach to the tent at its 8 corners and higher you have clips plus an 8-way top hub element. The tent is nicely proportioned, it is not particularly tall, the inner peak height is 57.87 in (1.47 m), see the picture below. But the diameter is 9.61 feet (2.93 m), so this is yet another reason why the tent looks so stable and sturdy. Note also that there is only one door here, but this is quite enough. The door is with mesh and panel on the upper part, and it is partly protected by the small brim.
His mission is to help others get out of their homes, push their limits, and to have fun staying active in nature. A lot of the newer Colemans tents have storage pockets sewn directly into the side of the tent. Great for organizing your small items like torches so you can find them in the middle of the night. An e-port is a great feature if you have a need to run a cord inside your tent.
Zippered doors can enclose the vestibule fully, so it serves as a separate room for the tent, or you can leave one or both open, so the vestibule can act like a porch or mudroom. The main tent body has a giant front door that’s oriented to make entry and exit easy for all the tent’s occupants at night, and a smaller back window that doubles as a second door. It’s natural to focus on the quality of a tent’s rain fly—you need that piece to work when the skies open up.
The fly goes up and over the tent body, covering only the upper half of the mesh dome, and then forms the glorious vestibule with the aid of a third pole. Use the extra stakes and guy-lines provided to stabilize the vestibule as much as you need. Car campers who plan to brave miserable weather will appreciate the extra strength and protection of the REI coleman cabin tent Co-op Base Camp 4 Tent. The main bodies of our other picks are structured with two main poles with added support from smaller brow poles. The Base Camp, by contrast, has four full-size aluminum struts woven throughout it, somewhat like a basket, plus an additional brow pole that frames the front entrance and supports the larger of the two vestibules.
If you are looking for a camping tent that can be used in the Spring and Fall along with the warm months, the Coleman Go 3 Person Dome Tent is a good choice. At $500, this modified dome-style tent isn’t cheap, but it represents substantial value. Many tents with similar profiles—such as the Big Agnes Dog House 6—either cost more or require you buy the tent body and attachable vestibule separately.
The Coleman WeatherMaster 10 person tent is the most difficult of all of the to pitch. This tent is massive, with a footprint of 17’ x 9’ it takes quite a bit of effort to get it raised. Due to its size, it can easily house four queen air mattresses and a bevy of bags or even some additional floor sleepers. This tent is durable and built to last season after season with 2x rugged polyguard tent fabric.
If you’re looking for something even bigger and sturdier, check out the Coleman Weathermaster. Its extra-large floor plan and top-notch weather resistance make for an excellent family shelter that’s sure to last for years to come. Lastly, all Weathertec tents share seamless welded corners in the floor of the shelter as well as zippers protected with a cuff of water-resistant fabric to minimize seepage.
