Alvantor Pop Up Bubble Tent - 12’ x 12’ Instant Igloo Tent - 8-10 Person Screen House for Patios - Large Oversize Weather Proof Pod - Cold Protection Camping - Beige

Setting it up was quick, about 30mins, mostly spent in securing it to the ground, attaching the sandbags, etc. It's was surprising to see how the large tent arrived in smartly packed small flat box!Extremely practical, sturdy, and looks great! Vinyl is very clear, and overall amazing. Have been using it in winters (doesn't snow here), and even in rains! Have a tiny heater inside to warm up during cold weather.Got to be little careful if pulling the zips hard, too much pressure could pull off a few stitches. Ran into some issues, and left a VM on the corporate number. Someone followed up and went beyond and above to resolve the situation! Honestly I was actually super impressed with them! It showed they absolutely value customer satisfaction! I'd hugely recommend this company and product. I generally don't write reviews, but I loved both the tent and the customer support, and I wanted to share my experience (I was not paid to write this review).

Just received it a few days ago. It is exactly as large as we wanted/expected, is straightforward and easy to put up and take down with two people (I imagine it would be bukly and harder with just one). We set it up on a sunny 70+ degree day and it was sweltering inside. Definitely will benefit from sun shades (which we did purchase and set up as well and they clearly help) but we bought it predominantly for the fall, winter, and early spring. I think the "greenhouse effect" it clearly has will be exceedingly beneficial in keeping things warm inside even when far too cold for comfort outside. This looks like a winner! Hope to update this after several uses when the weather turns colder - and especially during/after a snowfall. Thank you!Updated December 31, 2020:After using it during the winter I can update my initial post. While I am not convinced that this would be ideal for deep cold weather (e.g., <20 degrees F), at this point I can say two things I was not able to say before:1) With "reasonable" temperatures as noted above, this works exactly as advertised. In fall/autumn and spring, if there is sunshine take advantage of the greenhouse effect as well - it will stay comfortably warm inside even with cool temperatures and mild to moderate winds you will NOT feel the winds and you will be far warmer and more comfortable inside than outside; and2) The customer service from this company is unparalleled. I had an issue that I needed to deal with and they took care of it immediately. If I could give this company 6 stars I would do so.Summary: I don't believe that this item is meant for the arctic - and I don't think that will be a big surprise for anyone. I also bet that with a heavy snowfall it could not tolerate that weight and would collapse. So I would not think that this should ideally be advertised as a winter gazebo, but rather a fall-summer-spring and maybe mild winter gazebo! But now that we got that out of the way, EVERYTHING else I could say about the product, and especially everything I could possibly say about the customer service and the company standing behind its product, I would now give five stars and six stars, respectively, if I could. And that is not all that common today, and is so very appreciated. Thank you, Alvantor - well done.

Edit: I have now had this up since November over my hot tub. Overall it has been good, however, the quality is lacking. There is a large rip in the top- nothing sharp has touched it and we keep the snow cover on. I put flexseal on it to stop the spread and will see how that lasts.The same day I put the flexseal on I was opening the zipper (which I always do carefully) and the thread that connects the zipper to the tent broke. This shows a lack if quality. I did sew it back on as best I could, but I am waiting for the rest to unsew.I contacted alavantor and they have given me nothing but trouble. First they couldn't find my order even though I had contacted them previously and registered my warranty with them. Then they stated I needed to contact amazon. When you contact amazon it tells you to contact alavantor. I have replied to alavantor with this information and am waiting for a reply...which usually takes 4 or so days. For how much money this is I expect better quality and for zippers to not break. I get plastic can become brittle, but there is no excuse for the zipper.The set up was super easy and fairly quick-just be careful when opening it as it will get you in the shins!We got it to put over our hottub for the winter as we get a lot of wind. So far it has been great. The only issue we have had is with the zipper on the window not closing right (the teeth seperate a bit). It doesn't impact too much. They offered me $50 back to pay a local seamstress to fix it- I doubt I will find anyone to fix a zipper for that cheap. Since it is just a vent windowits not abig deal.Update: we got a lot of freezing rain and I found it collapsed. Once we cleared it off it popped right back into place. I could see why they sell an extendable pull for extra support in the center.

Update: Day 2, still early days, but wow this is actually TOO effective, and it's great. It's currently 43 degrees out and I am BAKING in here. Just ordered one of their sun shades. Wow!This is only Day 1, so I'll try to remember to update. But so far this seems to be exactly what I was looking for. I was able to set it up within a few minutes, and it's actually so warm that having it out in 60 degree weather was a bit TOO hot. Haven't tried it in more averse weather conditions yet - obviously wouldn't keep it up in wind speeds above 20mph, not sure any pop up could handle that, but it seems fine with the breeze so far.Don't expect to be able to put it back in it's case - the way it practically exploded up instead of just popped up told me that I'd definitely need a second person to fold it again. But it's been easy to fold to the size of one side, which is all i need to chuck it into the basement on super windy days.Looking forward to seeing how this holds up!
