Gazelle 4 Person 5 Sided Portable Pop Up Gazebo Screened Tent

This Gazelle 5 sided pop-up screen tent is AMAZING! We (men) pulled it out of the box, unzipped the bag and popped it up for the first time in about a minute.. We even figured out what the 2 extra poles were for and installed them before reading the instructions. Who needs instructions?It DOES come with instructions, on paper included in the stake and rope bag and sewn into the storage bag on a vinyl sheet. We should have read them first but being men, who were being watched by women, we had to show them how smart we were. When the tent began to blow away in the wind is when we discovered the stakes and ropes. The wind was blowing 15 to 20 but the stakes held it. and we also used two of the provided ropes tied to the grab handles to stake it down on the windward side. Later the next day we had a monsoon, almost an inch of rain. No problem for the staked down Gazelle screen tent, no roof collapse and framework destruction like I've witnessed at other campsites.. If you are looking for a new screen tent because your current expandable one collapsed and self destructed in a rainstorm this is the one to get. Get the larger one if you need a bigger one.It is very well made, does everything as described, and I could not be happier with it. We put a whole 6 foot long 4.5 foot wide (attached benches) picnic table inside it and 4 of us sat at it with no problem, and this is the smaller version. Everyone that sees it is amazed. I've opened it and closed it for several people and they stand there in jaw dropping amazement just like I did when we first set it up.I've had other versions of screen tents before and they are more difficult to put up alone, some weighed more than this one, and almost all eventually had the zippers fail. The Gazelle has the best zipper in the world, YKK, I'm confident the zipper will stand the test of time and was one of the reasons I chose this above other similar products. Also, the flaps at the bottom of the tent walls that are designed to keep bugs out REALLY WORK! I've been in so many screen tents where they flap in the breeze and let bugs in.The tent is heavy like others have said, wouldn't want to backpack with it but it is manageable and will fit in most vehicles, just pay attention to the dimensions to see if it will fit where you need it to go. As someone reported in the answered questions, and I verified, closed up in the bag it is 63 inches long and about 7 x 7 inches at its thicker end. I circled it with a tape measure and got a 24 inch circumference. It fit back in the bag after I set it up and used it for a few days. It was slightly bigger than when brand new out of the bag but I had to fold it up on the ground by myself and did the best I could. Probably could have done a better job if the picnic table was available. But I could do it all by myself!Watch the video, it shows how to set it up and take it down.It is easy to be excited about such a great tent after having so many fail during my life (I ain't young anymore, I remember black and white TV on 12 inch screens).I highly recommend this screen gazebo, it is not a cheap and shoddy product like so many others. I was looking for a small screen tent to quickly put up at night and take down next morning on a two week camping/road trip, so glad I found this one. Try it, you'll like it.UPDATE 06/02/2018 It's been over a year since I started using the Gazelle and it still continues to impress me with its ease of set up and durability. I've used it year round because I travel north for the summer and south for the winter. Had it set up for over a month last fall using it to store things that used to be stored in a small shed that was damaged by a hurricane. I've used it in several campsites for almost a week at a time and it still looks almost as good as when I first received it. I try to set it up in shade if possible because I've seen what the sun can do to cloth after long exposure and besides, it's cooler there. I use 10 inch steel landscape spikes with large washers slid on them to stake down the gazebo, I've used this arrangement on tents and outdoor carpets through the years, easy to pound in and remove with a claw hammer and they don't bend or break as some plastic stakes do in rocky ground. I also have long plastic tent stakes, each with a 10 foot length of nylon cord to stake out the sides if needed when I'm in an area that doesn't offer protection from strong wind.Some tips that may help...I put the bottom and top of the two poles that go on either side of the door into their pockets first, then I join the poles in the middle and snap into place, just seems easier to do than trying to put the pole in once the two parts are joined together. This may already be shown in the instructions or the video but I haven't read them since last year. I have also found out that it's best to stake the gazebo down on all points before trying to pop up the roof. I usually make sure it is dry when I put it away, and sweep it off before collapsing it. If put away wet, I set it up to dry as soon as I can to prevent mold or mildew.I am still very impressed with the gazebo and continue to recommend it.

This review is for the first time set up. I PLAN to write another review after using it after a few trips.Opened box and bag seems to be decent quality. Two attached Velcro straps and handles on bag for easy carrying and secure storage. Box said sets up in 45 seconds. I unzipped the bag and pulled screen room out. An unattached Velcro strap secured it closed. Took it off and started the clock.Took a few moments to in fold it and decide what was where. Grabbed a strap on a side panel and pulled. I could not get it to pop in place. Lots of tension. Found that holding the top edge of the panel got me closer. My girlfriend then grabbed an opposite side allowing some resistance. Panel popped out and into place. Next panel same thing. We then found if you step on the bottom part of the panel, hold the top of one it with one hand, you can pull the panels on your own. I completed the sides with no issue. I walked in and sprung the roof up, and with a slight adjustment to straighten out the sides, it was up. Found it to be of very good quality and surprisingly sturdy. I’m a little over 6 feet tall and had no issue standing upright. We stood in it for about 2 minutes and admired it. Zipper is really good quality and was one of the easiest and smoothest I’ve found on a screen room.I reached up and pulled the roof down, stepped out and pushed panels in. Tucked material in and easily folded it back into storage bag ready.I thought, this is going to be like the rest and not easily fit bag in the bag. Used the Velcro strap, stood it up and in the bag it went with no issues.There are 4 replacement poles and rope and stakes, put them in and zipped it closed with no issues.It’s taken me about 15 minutes to describe this to you and only took 9 minutes to unpack, set up, inspect for two minutes, take down and bag it.I can see me setting this up in 1-2 minutes by myself and maybe even with frequent use, getting it down to 45 seconds.I’ve purchased a lot of items on Amazon and this is the most impressed I’ve been.If you’re considering it, get it.

This thing is great very useful with our rv I first purchased an add a room for the awning and returned as it was a huge head ache to install and as a result Amazon is not happy with me returning it and said they may close my account. The gazelle goes up quickly meets all my expectations I also purchased the screen covers for privacy. The biggest improvement they could make is the tent stakes are a joke plan on buying more stakes they are pretty cheap

For all you solo travelers for crying out loud, this thing is crazy simple and easy to put up. (I am a 64 year old women) .The sac it comes in has sewn in cinch straps which makes it as easy to pack up as it is to set up. I was looking at the clam but the two sizes didn't suit me. One too big, the other too small, this one is perfect! About 9' from hub to hub. It says it fits 4; but for card game just sitting 6 is do-able. Have not had it out of the driveway but going next week camping. Very excited to have this superbly simple shelter. PS. I ordered five wind panels just in case I want to use as a tent.

This is amazing! I put it up on my deck the day I got it in early May. It has been pouring rain, hailing, thunderstorms, wind. Nothing affects it! In the month it's been up, there have been only about 5 sunny days-so it's been out there taking a beating. After 4 days of solid rain (no sprinkling-RAIN!) there was a small drip at the top. Easy to put up with one person. Easy to take down (had a tornado warning-didn't want to try that!). I have an 80 pound dog (coonhound) with long nails that jumps up on it from the inside and there are no signs of him-no snags or rips. LOVE!

I am a senior and a widow. It was easy for me to put up and down. My kind of item.

Very easy to set up and take down. Very good quality just like the larger six sided tent. This tent works great for smaller decks or areas where the larger 6 sided tent wont fit. The nicest feature besides its quick and easy set up is the ability to quickly it take down very quickly when a bad storm approaches. Try doing that with any other regular screen tent.

This pop up Gazebo is sturdy, spacious and does the job. We set it up on our front deck to have a place to escape from bugs whilst reading. It is even big enough to put a small picnic table inside, so eating lunch bug free is guaranteed.I am very pleased with this product.

amazing. wouldnt have believed 45secons to put up. sure is. excellent

Much larger than I thought. Great quality.
