We just received the Alvantor pop up screen tent. Someone suggested putting a picnic table umbrella in the center to support the roof because the center roof could fill with water. Last weekend camping it rained for 28 straight hours. That's why water is on my mind. I looked for something better on Amazon. Then went to TH-cam up came you. THANK YOU for showing setup and tear down. Because of you I spent more money for a much better product. THANK YOU. Glad Amazon does returns. Also ordered the solid walls.
That’s awesome! Thank you so much for the comments. We have had ours out in heavy rain and have never had trouble with water pooling on the roof. I hope you enjoy yours as well! Thank you for leaving a comment. Happy travels and safe camping!
Thanks, I took mine out of the bag and it was a bit confusing. The included setup instructions were subpar. I didn't want to break it so I looked up a video and found yours. Watched the setup portion and went out and had it up in no time. Looking forward to years of use of this handy thing.
hello from the sunny Ozarks! I have the clam shell pavilion that's a bit larger and like you I love it cause its so easy to set up and roomy inside. I use my battery power drill to screw in my stakes cause of hard ground sometimes. thanks for sharing. tight lines and cheers!
Thanks, John! The outro drone shot was filed at Mill Creek Campground just outside Branson, MO. We do have a campground review video of Mill Creek on our channel. It is truly one of our favorites!
I screwed up the first one so badly I had to exchange it. Also found some delaminated seam tape and loose velcro. Interesting you deploy the roof first. Gazelle instructions say not to do that. I'll see how round two goes.. in a couple of days..
I have one of these and the only drawback I see so far is that the screen is so small that it's hard to get wind through it or a nice breeze... It does keep out the bugs but it would be nice to have some air movement.
We have not used them often, but when we do put them on, we are super glad to have them! We have enough to cover all the way around. Provides great shade and privacy when needed.
It is certainly a challenge to wrestle, but I get it unstaked from teh ground, open the zipper, take out the two poles by the "door", and then (from the inside of the tent) pull straight down on the top center piece. As the gazebo starts to "collapse" around me, I lean it over onto its side, then gather it all together and put it in the bag. Hope this helps!
Question, just watched another video, the guy said he would not purchase again because its so hot inside the tent. The mesh is so good Air does not flow easily through it, making it hot inside. Any ideas
Ty but everyone shows how to put up in a minute or less BUT how about a take down? We bought one and somehow it became inverted, can someone demonstrated the proper technique to take down?
When it is time to put it away, I get inside and pop the walls in, then pull on the top centerpiece (from inside the collapsing tent) and then it folds in on me (which is a little awkward) and then I just slip out as it collapses. Not graceful, but super quick and easy.
That is certainly true. The panels function well as a sun and wind block, but not super effective to keep rain from coming in between the panel and the screen.
So your demo was well done and very informative…I bought/ordered the Gazelle yesterday, And to my surprise this one actually comes with the rain guard flap to go over the added wind walls. Thanks again and happy camping.
We are about to order the Gazelle G6 as we are newbies to RV camping. We get our RV in March (have tent camped for years). My question is do you have more than 3 of the side panels or would 3 be enough? How many do y’all have? Thank you for these videos we so enjoy them
Glad you were enjoying the videos! I hope you love RV camping as much as we do. We did purchase all six side panels. I believe they were sold in sets of three. I do not think we have ever used more than three at a time. Good luck and happy camping!
Adding to this comment- We have all 6 panels. We have a trailer and camp year-round. Used the G6 in freezing weather with all 6 panels. Add in a Buddy heater and you can be toasty in a pinch. I can drop the panels down during the day and button up at night. We have a couple of small tables and use the area to cook and lounge around. I think the newer G6 model has an "apron" on the top edges to help seal everything a little better.
Hello 👋🏼 I'm sorry if I missed this in the existing comments, but do you know the interior length of the wall/panel? My plan is to put a foldable table inside the gazebo but I don't want it to extend too far on either side and take up too much space. Thank you 😁!
I can't find the exact dimensions of each wall panel. We sometimes put it over the top of a large picnic table, or we put a couple of folding chairs in the middle with a folding table on the side. There has always been plenty of room. Here are the specs from their website: MODEL: GG601DS CAPACITY: 8 PEOPLE HEIGHT: 86" SET UP SIZE: 124" x 124" FLOOR SPACE: 92 sq. ft. COLLAPSED SIZE: 8" x 8" x 73" WEIGHT: 34 LB STAKES: 12 ALL-TERRAIN STAKES GUY LINES: 5 DOORS: 1 LARGE MAIN ENTRANCE
Apparently their other model the Gazelle T4 or T4 Plus stays very dry even in heavy rains, as shown in some other reviews...I'm hesitating between the Gazelle Gazebo and the T4...
Tried leaving a comment, but looks like it didn't "stick"? Anyway, we just ordered one of these for ourselves. I've heard someone say it can become uncomfortably hot inside. Has this been your experience? I hope that's not typical bc ours will be here in a couple days, lol. Thanks for the reivew! Just subbed your channel :)
Welcome to the channel. We're thrilled to have you as new subscribers. Yes, it can certainly get hot inside. We have fixed that issue by running an extension cord inside and then we turn on a small fan. Totally does the trick. We also run some "party lights" inside for some atmosphere. I think you'll love yours.

Mine drips inside when it’s raining. My picnic table has pooled water on it and anything inside is wet. Did anyone else have this problem and if so how did you fix it? It is super easy to set up and I like it except for the leaking.
I was extremely frustrated with this gazebo. To my disbelief, it arrived inside out, causing us significant inconvenience. It took us an entire afternoon and the following morning to rectify the situation. We had to painstakingly remove the top poles and reverse the gazebo, encountering numerous tangles and obstructions along the way. It was an absolute nightmare! Finally, after persistently trying, we managed to get it to open the correct way. Reversing it proved to be the solution, allowing it to unfold properly and function as intended. When closing, it now inverts correctly, without any issues. Initially, when we attempted to set it up, the logos faced the wrong way, preventing the walls from popping out as they should. It was incredibly frustrating and required a tremendous amount of effort. The strain it put on the tent's fabric was almost unbearable. Considering the circumstances, I'm uncertain whether we received a defective unit, but the entire experience was nothing short of a horror show. It didn't help that we were wrestling with it in scorching 30+ Celsius weather, living in Canada.
Saw this unit on another channel, but, you nailed the explanation and set-up directions! Looks like this will be going on my "Wish List" for Santa Claus, for sure! Y'all Be Safe!
Thanks, Josh. I should have included that information. There are tiedowns that come with the tent. You can either secure the cord to the top corners of each section or the middle of each panel. There are also loops at the very bottom of each post that contact the ground to stake it down.
One upgrade to this would be magnetic entrances. So you have the option of zippers or self Closing magnets. No one likes opening and closing those zippers. But at least have the option if it gets windy

Wonderful! That makes my day that you found the video helpful. I hope you enjoy yours as well. Happy camping and Merry Christmas!
Thank you! Going inside to open this was genius. I could not get it open the way other vids show. You are a life saver!
Thank you so much! It was the best way I can figure it out. It is clumsy the first couple of times, but then it gets much easier. Good luck!
Thank you for sharing the video. I just received mine via UPS today and looked immediately for a video to show how to deploy. And I LOVE Jasper!
How fun! Thanks so much Todd. We hope you enjoy it as well.
OMG thank you!!!!! I had a hard time setting this up and I didn't know what those poles were for!!
Awesome! Glad we could help. :)
Well that looks ridiculously easy to set up. Thanks for the thorough review!
Thanks! It is super quick and easy.

I have seen those stakes that screw in the ground. That would be a great thing to add. Thanks for the comment!
The hidden camera at 18 seconds is amazing ! Thanks for the setup tips !
Thanks! 😊 I’m glad you enjoyed the video! We love the product.
Perfect! Just what I need! Thank you! Good job!
Thank you so much. We still use it regularly and would make the same decision again. Have fun!
where is the outro drone shot filmed? looks beautiful!
Thanks, John! The outro drone shot was filed at Mill Creek Campground just outside Branson, MO. We do have a campground review video of Mill Creek on our channel. It is truly one of our favorites!
Gotta get me one - thanks for the review
Thanks, Ed! We really love ours and bring it with us every time we camp.
I haven’t heard of this brand and now I’m super excited and interested in this gazebo for future camping. Thanks so much for this in depth review!
You are very welcome! Glad that you found it helpful. Safe travels and happy camping!
I screwed up the first one so badly I had to exchange it. Also found some delaminated seam tape and loose velcro. Interesting you deploy the roof first. Gazelle instructions say not to do that. I'll see how round two goes.. in a couple of days..
Ok i need to know how to fold it back down. Got a video on that?
Just bought one. They put it together inside out! Doesn't pop up like yours did. Sending back ASAP!
Oh no! Hopefully, they will get it replaced quickly. Crazy to hear that it was inside out!
@@TodayisanAdventureDay - they are going to replace it, but too late for my camping trip. Not happy, but will survive.
I have one of these and the only drawback I see so far is that the screen is so small that it's hard to get wind through it or a nice breeze... It does keep out the bugs but it would be nice to have some air movement.
I can agree with that criticism. Thank you so much for watching the video and leaving a comment! Safe travels and happy camping.
This side panels are awesome, great selling point.
We have not used them often, but when we do put them on, we are super glad to have them! We have enough to cover all the way around. Provides great shade and privacy when needed.
I accidentally open up inside out and it was a disaster. Can you make a video how to fix it?
Oh no! I hope that everything is okay. Thank you so much for watching the video and leaving a comment. Good luck!
How long is your string lights. I want one single piece going all the way around the interior. Lmk thx
Can you do one taking it down?
It is certainly a challenge to wrestle, but I get it unstaked from teh ground, open the zipper, take out the two poles by the "door", and then (from the inside of the tent) pull straight down on the top center piece. As the gazebo starts to "collapse" around me, I lean it over onto its side, then gather it all together and put it in the bag. Hope this helps!
Question, just watched another video, the guy said he would not purchase again because its so hot inside the tent. The mesh is so good Air does not flow easily through it, making it hot inside. Any ideas
Thanks for the question. We have been very pleased with it and haven’t had a problem with lack of air flow.
Ty but everyone shows how to put up in a minute or less BUT how about a take down? We bought one and somehow it became inverted, can someone demonstrated the proper technique to take down?
How do you drop the ceiling? On mine it looks like the pull is on the top, outside the tent. Maybe I am doing it wrong.

This is awesome! Great demo! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Thank you so much Dean!
I just bought an identical gazebo and I am begging my husband to take a beach trip so I can test it out. lol
They are certainly helpful to have. So many different uses for sure. Have fun!
So... it appears the rain could potentially seep right underneath the added weather walls. Perhaps they should add an outer flap to go over the walls.
That is certainly true. The panels function well as a sun and wind block, but not super effective to keep rain from coming in between the panel and the screen.

He is an English cream golden retriever. We love him so much! He is 4 1/2 years old

Does it do a good job of keeping the rain out?
It does pretty well. If the rain is blowing, it will come in, even if you have the side panels attached.

You initially set it up inside out. All the poles are on the inside. I’ve seen people do this with ice fishing shelters. Same idea

I think Yule love it! (see what I did there?) 😜
@@TodayisanAdventureDay-- Very clever picking up on the Christmas thing!
Y'all Be Safe!!
Thanks! You too.
What are the dimensions??
It is 86” tall with floor space of 124” x 124”. It is perfect to fit over a picnic table with plenty of room to spare.
I like how you jus skipped over the tie down part dude, what if it’s not a extra pleasant day??
Thanks, Josh. I should have included that information. There are tiedowns that come with the tent. You can either secure the cord to the top corners of each section or the middle of each panel. There are also loops at the very bottom of each post that contact the ground to stake it down.
Nice 👍
Thanks!
I could not believe how hot it got inside
The mesh is tight enough to restrict airflow for sure. We typically put a fan inside, which works great.
Bought this. Took it back
Not a fan. Sounds like its easy to out together. ITS NOT. We purchased the Clam! EASY to do !
One upgrade to this would be magnetic entrances. So you have the option of zippers or self
Closing magnets. No one likes opening and closing those zippers. But at least have the option if it gets windy
I like that suggestion! That would certainly be helpful. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
Mine came all fucked up. Inside out.
Oh no! Were you able to get it working?
Nope!
Awww....cmon! What don't you like? The only think that I don't care for is the price, but the product has been great.
