Update: We’ve had this tent up and in daily use for almost a year. It’s withstood up to 60mph winds and torrential downpours with no problems. Best tent ever!
After traveling and working full time from our RV for three years, my partner and I decided to sit still for a while and create a more settled outdoor living space. After much research to find an impermanent, outdoor structure for creating a multipurpose yoga, workout, music studio and office space, I purchased this tent for a few key reasons: size, square walls, chimney opening, and windows. I’ve had a 10x10 Kodiak Cavas tent for years that’s been miraculous for many purposes, however they (sadly) don’t make a version with these features.
The 10x12 is wonderful, and with the 5’ high side walls and 8’ high center, feels very spacious. The frame is sturdy (so far it’s withstood 20mph winds and rain with grace), the canvas is good heavy quality, and I really like the windows that can be opened from both the outside (to let light in) and inside (to let air in).
It came in two unexpectedly huge boxes, and was an adventure to set up. The instructions leave quite a bit of details up to your imagination. Compared with my Kodiak tent this is a lot more involved and I wouldn’t want to take it down and put it up frequently, but it’s great to leave standing for a while.
The only real complaint I have is with the mud flap / floor setup. I still haven’t been able to get all the corners tucked in so no drafts enter, and it’s a little strange to have to tuck the doors under every time you close it. It has stayed waterproof and freeze proof on the inside though, so, for all the pros I can live with this con.
I haven’t “cut the chimney” yet, but it looks easy enough!
