I really wanted this to work for us , I loved the concept and it’s versatility, but the handful of times I’ve used it haven’t been the best of weather conditions to say the least! We have put it completely through its paces that’s for sure. I find it hard to get the tension completely even to stop strain on the rods and pocket, and the rods have snapped and ripped the pockets. I’m in the IOM at the moment and have to take it down, 2 snapped poles and a ripped outer cover. 30 mph wind was to much, but have to say it out lasted most others here, just be aware it it’s more of a fair weather tent but so are most others
