I ordered this for a birthday party we were having outside with bounce houses for the littles and it is perfect. There is plenty of room to sit up a mini table made of cinder blocks and a piece of plywood perfect for them to sit at while having cake, with plenty of room for the parents who stayed to drag in a chair as well. It was a hot day and this created the perfect amount of shade for our needs. It was easy to assemble and made of high quality materials, even had the option to drop the sides down to keep the sun out but we only needed to do so with one side and it indeed kept the sun out and kept the inside cooler. Highly recommended item!

I read the reviews and the negative reviews were all from people leaving the tent up for multiple days.. This is a tent you put away after use. It even said that in the instructions. If you wanted a tent for permanent use outside I would recommend getting a gazebo that is meant for weather situations.

It's perfectly fine how it is. Works well and can be put up and taken down by myself. It's big when open. When packed away it doesn't take up much space. That's super good when you have a small car like I do. It fits nicely across my back seats.
It also fits perfectly in it's carry bag with space to spare. I did not have to fight with it to get it into the bag which is super great!

The media could not be loaded. First and foremost: be open minded when you read the rest of the reviews.. Most of the ppl don't know what they're doing or talking about! JS!

OH AND. The little wooden fence grabs the white net every day when i pull it back for my plants, and it does not rip! The netting I've bought before this to cover my garden would rip every day when i pulled it back. This stuff, does not rip! I'm telling you, I'm in love!

UPDATE:
After market season I was wondering what can i do with this tent! I planted a garden!! So was well but the temps were just so high. So i thought i would set this up to help shade my garden! Guys this thing really is awesome! I love that i can zip it up at night to protect it from critters but let it breathe and be pollinated and catch some uv rays during the day! I don't plan to keep it up forever, but it has withstood a couple small windy thunderstorms. My garden is 10x8 and it fits within the legs almost perfect!

ORIGINAL:
So I bought to use at my market shows. I thought I'd be cool standing out with a hexagon one. So furthest width is 13' apart. About 3' more than my space allowed at shows, but when turned just right it's only 11' apart, at it's shortest width, so they won't complain about that 1 foot. It is flimsy. But it's a lot of tent and the metal would be too heavy to handle it it were any thicker. I see people trying to use this as a permanent structure. Don't be that dumb. It's a pop up. Pop it up and then pop it down. It takes 2 people for sure. The netting makes it beautiful! It went back in it's bag with ease. I, 5'3",115lbs can carry it. It's almost as big as I am, so it looks funny doing it, but it's doable. The inside is so tall, so we only pulled it to the 1st height level. Have to duck to walk in but it's really spacious once inside. Didn't want to pull it up to the next level cause the legs are flimsy like I said.

All in all, if you use it as intended (temporary use) and treat it right, you have a nice canopy tent with lots of room!

I've included pics of both market and green house set up for reference!

I actually like it use as a "cabana" I'm too lazy to break down with every use , so I just bring the legs in so in can push it down to ground. Which makes it too low to get caught up in the wind and it's low enough for me to brush rain water off roof so won't cave in. And on days it's gonna by heavy rain I can just remove roof with ease.

Creates shade where there was none, pretty with a purpose. We love it. Has held up well for almost a month now.
