Evanston Screened Tent

アメリカンサイズなのか、5人用ですがかなり大きく、設営には広いスペースが必要です。組み立ては比較的簡単でした。たまたま途中から雨の降る日に使用しましたが、入口側に広いネットスペースがあるので内側に物が置けて便利ですが、天井側にもネットを貼った部分があるので雨が降ると内側に風雨が吹き込みびしょびしょになってしまい片付けは大変でした。雨の心配がなければ大丈夫ですが・・・・

water leaked through the tent even though the rain was light, and we wished there is some sort of cover for the screenroom/porch. the eslaticstring core of the poles is broken on the first use.

The delivery was fast and packed safely. No mis-stitched seams. All parts are there. Although the flooring was not made whole, theres an interconnection that were glued to each end (2nd pic). It looks like a manufacturing defect. I worry that rain water may seep in in the long run. I have not tried camping with this tent yet and im hoping it will not cause any trouble to us. No more issues aside from it.

So I finally got to put the tent to use this weekend. Just wanted to share that it was everything we needed it to be. Having grown up with standard dome tents, I had it out of the box and up, by myself, in about 10-15 minutes. Would be about 5-10 minutes now that I've done it. The size turned out to be perfect, not too huge, but definitely big enough for a queen, and two child sized airbeds. Could definitely fit two queens. The screen room was everything I hoped it would be. It adds a ton of flexibility to the tent. Some people had complained that it was a bit small, but they were mostly commenting on the Evanston 6, which is smaller in general. Because the 8 is bigger all around, the screen room is just about perfect. It makes for a great place to throw gear without having to constantly go in-out of the sleeping area. For example, you can stage gear just by throwing it into the screen room. Then when you have your shoes off, you can move gear back and forth to the clean areas. When we woke up this morning the world was wet with morning condensation, but the inside of the tent was dry. It has very good ventilation, and lots of large windows to control that aspect. However, those that have mentioned that this is a warm weather tent are correct. The increased ventilation definitely means that you won't be trapping as much warmth during the night. So take that into account when planning bags, blankets, etc. I was nervous to go with Coleman, because frankly their tent reviews in the last few years have been slipping, especially on their other styles. But I chose this one because the reviews were much better, and because I wanted to stick with a standard dome configuration. We had a great time, and the tent performed well in every aspect. The floor is well crafted and of good material. The seams and zips were all well placed and well done. No complaints. Unless one of our kids damages the tent, there is no reason we shouldn't get quite a few good seasons from it.

Es una EXELENTE casa de campaña, caben muchas personas de manera comoda. El porche de visualizacion es amplio y muy agradable. Es facil de armar y de desarmar, to me tarde aprocimadamente 14 min. en armarla y 15 en desarmarla. La caja incluye estacas pero hay que llevar un martillo. La casa es muy amplia, la verdad más de lo que esperaba, en el medio de la casa, cabe parada una persona de 1.70m. Las centanas están muy amplias pero el problema es que la ventana de atras, esta muy grande y no tiene una cortina, hay que ponerle el toldo completo, el cual tapa todas las ventanas, menos las de enfrente de la casa, que dan al toldo(las estan en la puerta y a un lado de ella) Yo, personalmente, tube un problema y me salio defectusosa, pero la devolví a Amazon y me regresaron todo mi dinero.
