Eapele Pop Up Bubble Tent - Weather Proof Pod Igloo Tent - Personal Cold Protection Camping Tent for Patios Outdoor - Large Oversize Beige

This to me anyway is a rather unique product. It goes from a relatively small package to this transparent bubble and collapses right back for storage. Many uses come to mind. Right now we have our inflatable hot tub inside. Setting it ups is really easy. Even a single person can do it in a matter of minutes. I did find that it does not hold up well to rain. I have had this for a few months now. Even with all of the fiberglass poles properly inserted the top collects water and then collapses in on itself. One of the fiberglass poles pierced the fabric of it's holder and poked a hole in the outer clear material. It isn't hard to go out and remove the water and return to its original setup. The uses are almost endless. Sleeping out under the stars without being eaten by all the bugs. Using as a temporary greenhouse.

this is for the 12x12 model. i had doubts about this tent because i've owned such things in the past and they were difficult to set up and didn't last. i can't speak to the second point yet as i've only had it a week but as for the quality and set up, this Eapele model is pretty outstanding. literally everything you could possibly ever need is contained in the circular travel package. you remove the tent, unfold it (it's in half) and then basically just keep unfolding it. it can certainly be done with one person (as i did) but it's probably a bit easier with 2 people since if you're setting it up on a hot day like i did the pvc likes to stick together making the "pop up" aspect a bit slow. still, once you unstick it it's really easy to unfold and it took maybe 5 minutes in total. next you have the fiberglass stakes for the roof which are easy to install. you get rain covers for the rain which simply tie to the top, but i haven't used them. you also get sand bags, stakes, a sun shade, a roll of pvc repair tape and a thick pvc floor. i didn't use the floor as we wanted the grass underneath us but if you wanted to use it it's a very simple process of just attaching it to the velcro on the bottom of the tent.now...for me, by far the most important thing about such tents and the make or break factor in whether or not i'll ever use it again is how it disassembles and folds up. i am thrilled to report that this process might be even easier than the setup. remove the roof fiberglass poles, fold the tent inwards on itself a few times, twist into a figure 8 and fold again until you get the original flat circle, which then goes right into the zippered pouch. brilliant.are there any cons? not really. it's a relatively large pouch even when folded, but that's to be expected. flying bugs love to go in there and can't leave, meaning when i folded it up there were maybe a dozen flies sealed to their doom, but that's their own stupidity and no fault of the tent. if it's a really hot day i'd suggest installing in shade as the sun shade attachment didn't do much and it got REALLY hot in there, but this won't be a concern in cooler weather or in shade.i'm really impressed by this tent and expect to use it rather often in our yard since it's so easy to set up and break down. definitely worth the money and the construction is robust enough that i doubt we'll have any puncture issues. highly recommended
