Pop Up Tent, Zenph Automatic 2-3 Persons Family Camping Tent, 3 Seconds Automatic Opening Waterproof Sun Shelter Automatic Instant Tents for Outdoor Hiking

I used this in Florida during February. It rained really hard one day, but no water got inside! When I received this tent and first opened it up, I didn't think it was possible for water not to get in.In the tent I slept on an air mattress and my duffle bag fit inside with me. This is in no way a 2-3 person tent. However I think it will fit 2 people with just sleeping bags.Setup was an absolute breeze! Just take it out of the bag, and it pops up. Hammer in some stakes and you're good for the night.Watch YouTube videos before going out the first time (and not the video on the QR code).I'll try to explain the easiest process I found and used to take down. 1. Gather each of the two bottom side edges with the top part in each hand (door and back). 2. Fold one (probably door) side in toward you, then the other (back) on top of the first side.3. Turn so the strap is on the right side 90° to the ground. 4. Touch the tent to the ground and give a slight twist to achieve a figure eight. 5. Fold on side on top of the other and straighten. 6. Place strap around the tent and put it in the bag.The reason for only 4 stars is that it got caught on a stake and ripped while I was putting it away.

I haven’t used it yet but heading on a booked camping trip but I have opened it and so far I love it very easy for one person to do 😊

I took this tent out for a camping trip that was supposed to have good weather, and wound up seeing some pretty nasty rain storms. I'd only had the tent a couple of days, figured this would be a good way to test it, but I didn't realize just how good a test it would be! Overall, the tent held up great.The first rain storm was the worst of the bunch, saw some pretty brutal wind, and some very hard rainfall. Over the course of probably 15-20 minutes of rain, I noticed that some water started to seep through the tie straps that attach the mesh inner shell to the outer shell. There were a few drips that wound up inside the mesh, but they were on the edges of the tent, and were relatively manageable. If I were sleeping, I still would've woken up dry, most likely.The other rain storms weren't quite as violent, but lasted longer. Interestingly enough, the seepage issue actually didn't happen again during the later storms, so I think this tent will handle MOST weather you throw at it, but tropical storms may be a bit much. Even so, I have a feeling that a quick application of waterproofing, especially where those ties are, will solve any leakage issues and really make this tent a contender for some truly nasty weather.As far as folding goes, if you've ever had one of those circular folding windshield screens, you'll get this fairly easily. I was able to get it folded up in a matter of 2 minutes or so, and right back in the bag with no issues.The zippers, though cheap feeling, worked fine for me throughout the trip. Smooth action on all of 'em. If the tent isn't too tight, and you take your time, they shouldn't be a problem.Overall, I recommend this one! There are tents out there that are more expensive, but not as well designed as this one. I've given 4/5 stars simply because it did leak on the first trip...but it was a super nasty storm.

Opening the Box:This tent is relatively large when folded, at a bit shy of three feet diameter, but also very flat. This appears to be a limitation of the spring-folding design.It's not a huge inconvenience, but it is something to be aware of when preparing for a trip.The carry bag has two handles on top, and a large strap that works very well for carrying it over your shoulder.You'll look a little silly carrying a nearly three foot diameter disc with Chinese writing on the back though.It's very light weight, even packed with its stakes. One of the lightest tents I've owned.Deploying:Deploying the tent isn't just easy, it's actually kinda FUN.If you don't like the idea of flinging it into the air and watching it spring to shape, or if it's windy and you're afraid it'll get blown away, you can just undo the retainer strap, place the disc on the ground with the yellow side up, and back up to watch the magic (literally) unfold. It'll take you longer to stake the corners down!Folding:You're going to find it frustrating to fold at first if you're not familiar with these.Though given its ease in deploying, I suggest practicing it several times in your back yard until you "get" the trick to it.For visual learners, there are plenty of videos out there showing it.For textual learners:Grab the two ends of the tent, and fold them all the way together, catching the two roof rings on the way. This will form the tent into the shape of a taco.Flip the taco-tent on end, with the retainer strap on the ground.While still holding the taco shape, fold the end that's in the air WAY down to the far end of the ring that's on the ground.You'll now have two clover-lobe shaped protrusions. You want to fold these down over top of the bottom ring one at a time, such that it just forms a stack of all three rings. Congratulations, you're folded.Pull the retaining strap over it so it doesn't explode back to shape as soon as you let go, shake out any dust and dirt from your camp site, press the air out so that it's all nice and flat again, and slip it back into its carry case.Construction:The tent is built from two mostly independent layers, held together by a variety of tab-and-loop straps. The same kind that you use to hold tents' doors and windows open.The spring system is built into the outer shell, as are all of the tie-downs. There are small loops at each corner for staking it down. For those familiar with traditional tents, this forms your rain-fly. It has an outer door in the front, and a window in the rear. The window has a screen. I don't know why.The inner part of the tent consists of a full surround screen mesh with a screen door, two split storage pockets, and the basin floor.The floor is built in a bowl shape, and has a small amount of overlap with the outer shell for resistance against wind-blown rain.All of the seams around the floor are sealed with some kind of sealant epoxy. I imagine that it can handle wet campsites and rain without a problem.The floor material is relatively thin and light compared to older conventional tents I've used. I can't speak for durability, as I just opened it for the first time today.My opinions:I've owned two conventional shock-cord pole dome tents.I love that I can pitch, stake, unstake, fold, and pack this thing all in the time it'd take me to set up or tear down one of those.The construction quality seems reasonable enough, I expect it to last at least a few years.I also love that it has a screen door. I don't have to give up insect protection to get some good ventilation!The design of the inner/outer shell system appears well suited for great ventilation, and I didn't feel claustrophobic or stuffy inside at all, but I did have the door and window open.About the only things that I can mark against it are that you can't open or close the rear window without getting out of the tent, which might pose a problem here in Florida with our sudden rainstorms, and that you have to open the inner door to get to the outer door.I have no clue how they could solve that with the twin-shell design though, and honestly I like being able to keep the mosquitoes out while getting great ventilation. That said, the screen is not ultra-fine-pitch, and some very small bugs might be able to find their way in.

it's pretty light, and easy to open and close, very nice for lazy ppl haha
