I got this tent to put over a little seating area beside my house. Makes a great place to hangout, and having the option of open or closed windows is great. Wish this one came with sandbags like some of the other models. I had to order some separately elsewhere and while I was waiting for them to arrive the tent was blown away across our yard twice in one week (we had some crazy wind!) Despite this, the tent held up, and we were able to get it back in place with very little trouble. It's now weighted down and we haven't had any further issues. Does a pretty good job keeping the rain out. I'll be interested to see if it stands up to snow.
