Still standing after 40+ mph wind gusts!
We are very happy with our decision to purchase this tent. It was easy to put up even though the instructions are just pictures.
Our install: The corners are in flower pots filled with large rocks we purchased at our local home building supply store. We bolted the legs to the bottom of the pots using the hole in the bottom of the leg where the stake would go. Then we filled the sand bags (that came with the tent) with sand, attached them with the Velcro provided. We filled the bottom of the pot with small gravel rock then filled the top half with large decorative rocks. The two legs by the garden area in the picture are also staked with the provided rope. We didn’t have a place to stake the side closest to the camper.
We have 15-20 mph winds daily. Last night we had a storm system come through with 30 mph wind and gusts in excess of 40 mph. The frame and tent performed extremely well. Everything stayed tied and in place with no damage at all! The video was taken during the daily wind gusts. The last picture was taken this morning after the storm.
Overall a great product at a great price.
The only thing I would change is to make the screens a bit wider. They won’t all zip and fit to close around the flower pots we are using to secure the tent. (The would close if we only used the sandbags, but I’m not certain the sandbags alone would have held the tent in the storm.) I plan to order extras screens to allow for the extra room needed.
