Alvantor Pop Up Bubble Tent - Large Oversize Weather Proof Pod - Cold Protection Camping Tent - Winter Tent Beige

People, this is PVC (like what shower curtains are made of), so use your common sense and FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS! I do my due diligence when purchasing from “non name-brand” products and read pages of the reviews before purchasing . What I found most often in negative reviews were mistakes setting up causing tears and using in cold weather causing cracking/tearing…despite this, hearing the company replacing the product despite user error. So I gave it a try….It’s GREAT 👍 I did view the videos provided on Amazon for set up and take down, which helped a lot. I love I can be in the inflatable hot tub and preserve the heat longer and be shielded from the elements. If you use common sense and follow the directions, I can’t see how you can be disappointed. It’s not a solid, permanent gazebo…but it’s somehow even better for certain circumstances ..lightweight, packable, able to set up myself… just what I needed. Recommended ✅

We bought this top use in our yard during cooler days. It stays very warm as long as you have some sun. We use a small electrical heater to keep it warm on overcast days. We have only used it when the temperature has dropped to the low 40s but it was in the 70s inside with sun.Setup was easy. Just be aware of the fact that when this is untied from the storage bag and pops open, it is a sudden and strong force. They give warning but I didn’t really pay attention. We have it staked down on our patio and it gets almost daily use.To keep the doors open for ventilation, they must be rolled upwards and fastened with toggle straps. The straps are not long enough for this and I had to add some bungee cord to make it easy. It can also be difficult to zip after opening. Those are my only complaints. There was a problem with the main entry zipper and it was quickly resolved by customer service.This has withstood a week of strong winds and heavy rains with hail mixed in. There has been no problem at all, but I do have it completely and securely tied down.Ours is a 12’ model and the interior is pretty roomy. We can comfortably fit four people with chairs and side tables. You could fit more but it would start to become crowded.I would buy this again, and recommend it for outdoor entertaining. As long as it is properly fastened down, it should last for a while.

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.

Wow! We’ve had some heavy winds this year with some speeds reaching up to 70mph. I have this thing anchored down and have some sandbags inside to weight it down as well. With these heavy winds, this thing did not move. Well, it did blow with the wind but it stayed in place with minor wear and tear (shown in pictures). I set this up over my hot tub for winter use and it was very successful at helping maintain water temperature during the day as well as night. Even on those cold 20s-30° nights, this helped the water temp stay between 92-97 during use.As far as the tears go, I’ll probably patch themWith flex seal and see how long that holds. But I will buy another one when needed. I can’t give this a big smooth reviews. I’m thoroughly impressed with it.
