Product Description
The Meramac series tents are all free standing 2-pole designs with shock corded fiberglass poles and aluminum ferrules. The ferrules are the "connectors" that hold the poles together and we use aluminum, rather than steel, because aluminum can never rust. Our fiberglass poles are also normally one size larger than normal to offer you a sturdier, stronger tent. We use lightweight but strong polyester fabrics. The walls are uncoated so the tent can "breathe" under the urethane coated fly. The fly uses a pole in the top, which gives you an awning over each door for excellent rain protection. Our fly is full length on the sides, not 3/4 length like some others on the market, for better weather protection. We even have our factory seal the seams on the floor and fly for maximum water repellency. Entry and exit are enhanced with 2 doors, which means if you have to get out at night, you don't need to crawl over the others to get to the only door. The second door is also nice for extra ventilation in hot, muggy weather. Our door zippers are a #8, which is one size larger than most, for extra durability.

Easy to set up. Not much need for instructions, its pretty much dummy proof. I'm sure I could do it in the dark flawlessly. The fabric is very lightweight but feels durable and strong. Well worth the price. I had only used Coleman tents before, so this is a great upgrade, even if the price is comparable..

This is a good tent. It's light weight, so you should get a floor saver footprint, $34.00, or a tarp. The poles are long, so it is easier to set up with 2 people, though I did it by myself. It's tall so you can stand up in to put on your pants, but it is not a 6 person tent unless everyone in the tent is a child, but that is the same for all tents. That said 4 people could fit inside nicely. It's got a gear self that hangs from the roof, that's handy. Because it has a high profile, I made sure to secure all tie downs. There are 2 doors on each end, always get that, with screens built in. This tents is intended for warm summer nights, it has great ventilation. Everything packed easily into included bag.
