Core 9 Person Instant Cabin Tent - 14' x 9'

Product Information

The seams are also all inverted and sealed, which is one of the best ways to prevent leakage as the needle holes aren’t directly exposed to precipitation. The tent weighs 36 lb (16.3 kg) and its official capacity is 9 people. For this you have an inner area of 126 ft² (11.7 m²). A. If your tent needs extra waterproofing, here’s how to do it. Set up the tent in your yard. Hose it down like it is being rained on and let it dry in the sun. As it dries, the threads in the fabric will tighten their grip on each other. Next, spray the entire outside of the tent and the rain fly with waterproofing spray. The inner floor area is 164 ft² (15.2 m²) and the peak height is 86 inches (219 cm). This is why is included in my list of very tall family camping tents. The weight is 36.4 lb (16.5 kg). The frame is steel and the partial coverage fly and the walls are polyester.

It is supported with a strong steel frame that is pre-attached to the tent, so this all is easy to use because of its telescopic poles. Only the fly is added separately. The official setup time is 2 minutes only.

Tips

This Bushnell Shield Series 9 Person Instant Cabin Tent 15 x 9 feet is a nicely designed 2-room strong construction with 2 doors and steel poles. There are 7 windows with mesh and panels here, plus mesh ceiling and floor vents, so ventilation is done properly. Yes, the door is our first favorite feature. Hinged doors are one of the most convenient things when camping in a large structure with more people. We love it because it makes it so easy to get in and out. With regular zipper fabric doors that aren’t rigid, it can become frustrating to constantly zip and unzip to open and close. This is a tent from their new series, and this is the first cabin type series from this brand with a full coverage fly. Such tents are rare in general.

The tent is a single room and a single door structure, and you have one mesh window on the door. There is an E-cable port as well. The waterproof rating is typical for this brand, so you have the fly with a 2500 mm rating, and the floor is tough polyethylene so you have full protection from the elements. The tent weighs 23.59 lb (10.7 kg) and the area is 150 ft² (14.3 m²). The Semoo is again one extended dome tent a bit similar to the Core 9 Dome above. But here you have doors on all four sides. In addition, this is a three-room tent, so each of the rooms has its own entry door and the central dome area has two of them. From this you realize that this is a very livable tent suitable for two or perhaps even three couples. I can imagine you would need air conditioning in such a climate. This is a complex question because this is not only about the ac boot, it is also about the tent structure. If you have mesh ceiling, the air will be lost. I did not write about this yet but I should, your question is a reminder. I have seen a few tents from Ozark Trail that have ports for airconditioning, you can see this 12-person tent with two ports of that type. Yet another is this 15-person tent in the same list. Not sure if this is what you want. Strictly speaking, those are just vents, but you might fit an air conditioner there. But again, bear in mind this is an open ceiling. The declared capacity is “9 to 10” people. But the floor area is only 140 ft² (13 m²), so again this can work perhaps in the case of a group at a summer festival when the tent is used only to spend the night on the floor. But for real camping, you should downgrade this to 5 people or so. Please read more in my full review.

CORE Built-In Electrical Port Family Tent, 9-Person

With the immense popularity of this tent, we had to see for ourselves why it’s rated so highly. It appears to be a reliable choice for safe and comfortable family and group camping. The floor area is not so impressive for the declared capacity, you have only 126 ft² (11.7 m²) in its two rooms. So it is best to downgrade this number to half the value and you will enjoy your camping in this tent. Please read more in my full review.

Using the provided curtain divider, you can create 2 separate rooms in this tent. You can remove this divider at any time and keep the space completely open. Do I Need to Waterproof It? Something else to mention is that this is a freestanding model. This means you can set it up on virtually any flat surface, and you don’t have to secure it down. However, we recommend always securing your tent with stakes and guy ropes to ensure safety, as you never know when it could get windy. Season You’d be surprised at how seamlessly this tent can be set up. Color-coding is one of the best ways to pitch a tent, as it helps even the most amateur of campers. When using such a large capacity tent, we think it’s important to look for a set up that is straightforward and not over-complicated. This is important in case you need to pitch it at night-time, or in bad weather. Although this is advertised as a 3-season tent, it may have a little trouble with colder, windier, and rainier conditions. On the other hand, since you can close all the mesh windows from the inside and the roof is covered by the rainfly, it is possible to make it warmer inside. Use proper camping pads and premium sleeping bags if you do intend to use it in colder conditions.The interior is really quite roomy and airy, and even when you split it in half with the curtain divider, it’s still enormous. Based on its size, we think you can easily fit a queen airbed, a single mattress, a cot, and still have room left for bags and other gear. Functional Features Tents are usually made from nylon or polyester fabric with flexible fiberglass poles. Both materials save on weight and can be folded tightly to save on space when you’re carrying them. The fabrics aren’t always 100% waterproof, however, despite claims to the contrary. Colors Modern tents are available in just about every color of the rainbow. It’s just a question of whether you want to blend in or stand out. Storage

The setup is incredibly fast, officially under 2 minutes, so this is an instant tent in the true sense. The tent is very pleasant and tall, with 6 large windows and the screen room for sitting in the shade. It is well-ventilated, you have an electric cable port, and it comes with lots of storage area for your smaller items. More in my full review. If you are travelling to an area with known rainfall, it’s always a good idea to spray your tent with a special waterproofing solution. Plus, you can place a footprint or tarp underneath the keep it off the direct ground. How Long Does it Take to Set Up? A tent that purportedly sleeps nine people may not actually do so — at least not comfortably. Remember to leave some elbow room between people. The floor plan drawings on most tents depict sleeping arrangements with minimal distance between sleepers. That simply isn’t realistic. As a rule of thumb, subtract two from whatever sleeping capacity the description gives, and you’ll have a better idea of how many people can actually sleep in it.
