🏕️ Spacious and Sturdy: Unveiling the Core 9 Person Extended Dome Tent Review

Very good tent for the money. Very spacious. With a rain cover, airflow is limited. Biggest problem and why I deducted a star: WHEN DESIGNERS DECIDE HOW SIZE A STORAGE BAG SHOULD BE, THEY NEED TO ADD 20% MORE SPACE TO THE BAG. I spent about 20 minutes in the freezing rain. , curses the Core 9 and tries to put the tent back in the tiny storage bag. The bag could have been much bigger. Especially if you want to add some decent tent spikes (ie not the ones that come with the tent) and a hammer…

So the tent is huge. Much more than in the photos. Very easy to set up. I was drunk, barefoot and it was the middle of the night with a flashlight when I first set it up and it only took five minutes. In addition, withdrawal is very easy. With a bad hangover, little sleep and no shoes, it only took 10 minutes to put it back in my bag. Highly recommended for family outings or if you need a small tent for yourself. It hasn't rained yet, so another review will follow if I got caught in a downpour.

3 year update! I've just used this tent for a 3 day hike in the mountains, got caught in 2 heavy thunderstorms and it's held up pretty well. Just a small leak at the seam on the door. Just a small water stain on the floor in the morning. I have used this tent on at least 7-8 hikes over the last 3 years and it is holding up very well. I recommend this tent. :) Original Rating: First let me say this is the best tent I have ever used. This tent is MASSIVE. I was able to fit a queen size airbed, a…

Received this tent today and did a quick set up to check gear. Looks like a good solid tent. It was easy to assemble, I did it myself in 20 minutes. The rain cover is seam sealed and looked like a decent quality job. I had a short rain shower after assembly and the water rolled off nicely and ran off. It came with "L" shaped round steel pins that could be retracted. The guy line tensioners are thicker plastic and look pretty solid. I went ahead and replaced them with these DDY Ultra Light…

UPDATE ON MY REVIEW BELOW. It's true that this tent leaked during our "test run" but I have to raise my rating because the customer service was GREAT! The defective part was replaced very quickly. We'll try again with a new part! My plan is to reinforce the seams with a water repellent spray. I'll try to share as it happens too! If successful, this tent will be worth the money compared to other tents on the market. Wish me good luck! Original rating. I bought this tent for my young family to…

We needed a tent that would have some space after installing a side queen bed. I searched a lot and read several reviews and watched videos. We finally settled on this 9x16 Core tent. Firstly, we really liked the color combination, which we think will blend in very well with the natural surroundings. When we read through the specs, they contained everything we were looking for. We paid particular attention to the central height and because this tent is stable it has become one of our…

I did a lot of research and read all the reviews and it was too much to pass up. I love this tent. That's the good thing about him: he's huge! You can stand in it, put all your gear, lots of people, pets, etc. This is our rain tent because we can all sit in it (6 adults plus a couple of kids and dogs) and play cards. I can put it on by myself if needed, but it's easier with a second person. It tolerates rain and wind very well (see exception below). I've had the tent for almost a year now and…

good tent. very spacious. I like being outside, but I don't like getting sunburned or being bitten by bugs. This tent closes securely. this is my second home. I have a chair, a small table, electricity and an air mattress. Before setting up your tent, buy a tarp to cover underneath. I took 2 6x8s and connected them together. I got them in a big box nearby and didn't specify the size of the tent. They were just right for the tent stakes. THROW THEM OUT. I looked at them and realized they were…
