Thanks for this. We had purchased this tent a bit ago but haven't used it since 2020. This refresher on how to set it up was great. Also, thanks for reminding me to pack a mallet.
It's 11:14 pm and I'm n cocoa beach Florida ⛱. I just leveled and grated the dirt n my yard, and now I am about to pull the cabin out of the bag. Hope its as easy as u made it look. A lot easier then the instructions. I'm just glad it doesn't have a bunch of pieces. I put together a shelving unit last night and it took me hours. Any who, i bought this ⛺ because in the last few recent months I have started "prepping." Well, I originally bought a shade screen from Wal-Mart, enclosed, front and back entrance, so that I have shade, mosquito protection, and most of all, 🌧 🌦 🌂 protection while I am setting up my supplies. Needless 2 say, it was not rain proof and all that I had sitting out under it got wet while i was not home, soooooooo...finally, as i was down the camping n survival aisle at Wal-Mart, low n behold they had this cabin. 1 only. 196 bucks, I grabbed it immediately, 20 bucks more than that puney screen house I bought 2 months ago for 172. So I am stoked to see how this will look shortly. I'm sitting on 2 acres, 1 acre n backyard, so plenty of room to organize and sit down in the shade and relax. Again thx so much 4 an awesome video. Short n sweet, very informative. Look forward to watching n learning more from this channel.
@@darrellintents3086 I'm n the ⛺ right now. I have a question though, I put a heavy duty tarp underneath it, no I didn't put holes in it, should I have? When it rained though, the water 💧 stayed under the tent..do I poke holes, or should I remove the tarp ? Thx 4 the response 👍
Typically, when you put the tent on top of the tarp, you want the tarp smaller (about 6” to 3” on all sides) than the floor of the tent. That way you don’t see the tarp. If you can see the tarp, when the tent is on it, the tarp will serve like a rain catcher... not good.
I got a 10-15 y.o. 13'x 9' Cabin tent from my uncle's estate....not Instant tent. Says 6 person. How similar is it to the video re: setup. Are all Cabin tents similar? The poles are aluminum, and in a pile with 100 other poles. Any hnts on identifying poles for this or is it just a big puzzle?
Maybe i don't have the right poles...the ones in the video have the shock cord assembly...my pole stash has nothing like that. Can I buy poles? What do i need to know?
@@ccaissie113 Unfortunately, I'm not sure I can help you here. I'd suggest contacting the manufacturer's customer support and see if they can either help you identify the dimensions for which poles you need, or send you new ones.
Out of curiosity, did you edit out consulting the instruction manual, or did you really just wing it? Roflmao, I apologize for that, but I couldn't resist!! Lololol

Thank you! I bought this tent second hand, and the instructions are hard to make out. The video makes it easy to see how it all goes together.
nice presentation even for this city slicker from nyc
Great Job, Thank You for the Vid, this will be my second time using this tent it's been 5yrs
Just found this at my Walmart for $80!! Going to put it up asap. Thanks for the video!
this is way easier to understand then the stupid instructions, thought i was buliding a hexagon
Just got this and going camping this weekend just wanted to see how big it would be. Looks great.
Thanks for the video…I’ve been looking for this tent. Must be great, everyone is sold out near me. I love it.
This mans voice is amazing. I will like and subscribe right now!
Thank you very much!
Wow love the color of the tent! They don't offer in Walmart sites.
I kinda like your voice you sound like a radio talk show host

So, how did it work or for you?

@@infj7776 is the tarp larger than the footprint of the tent?
Typically, when you put the tent on top of the tarp, you want the tarp smaller (about 6” to 3” on all sides) than the floor of the tent. That way you don’t see the tarp. If you can see the tarp, when the tent is on it, the tarp will serve like a rain catcher... not good.
So, to answer your question, if your tarp is smaller than your tent floor you shouldn’t need to put holes in the tarp. I never have.

Thank you!!
I have questions can a5'5" inch
Woman set this up alone? Do all the windows zip up? Would this be ok for November in the Northeast U.S.?
Hi, yes, you can put it up by yourself. Yes, all windows zip up. As to Nov in NE, I think that’s more of a sleeping bag issue than a tent issue.
Ok what I need to know that wasn’t covered in this video is HOW YOU MOVED THE PICNIC TABLE WITH YOUR MIND?!?!?
Well... I can’t tell you all of my secrets!! 😊
Dude you got a radio voice
Out of curiosity, did you edit out consulting the instruction manual, or did you really just wing it? Roflmao, I apologize for that, but I couldn't resist!! Lololol
Ha! I had set that tent up on 2 other occasions but it has been a couple of years! Apparently, I'd forgotten a couple of things! Ugh
is it water proof?
It has a rain fly.
Does the screened porch have a floor?
Great question Jennifer. No, the screened porch does not have a floor.
ur intense boi 😳..
Won't be long before you will need a warehouse to store all those tents ...lol
Ha! My bride says, “it’s time!”
