Wenzel Alpine 8.5 X 8-Feet Dome Tent (Light Grey/Blue/Gold) Specifications

Lightweight, easy to set up, and versatile, the Wenzel Alpine three-person dome tent is a great choice for all types of camping and conditions. The Alpine includes such features as a three-pole pentadome design that creates a vestibule for gear storage and weather protection, a shock-corded fiberglass frame (with pole pockets) that sets up and disassembles quickly, and an integrated mud mat with a drainage strip to keep the tent clean. Campers will also appreciate the Weather Armor polyester fabric and sonic-sealed polyethylene tub-style floor, which are reliably rugged and resist leaks of all kinds. The closeable mesh windows and D-style front door, meanwhile, do a nice job of ventilating the tent and controlling morning moisture. Additional details include double-stitched seams, a gear loft for smaller items, a hanging pocket, and a duffel bag for storage. pbSpecifications/bulliBase: 8.5 by 8 feet liCenter height: 48 inches liInterior space: 49 square feet liSleeps: 3 liWindows 2 liDoor: Dutch D-style liFloor: Welded polyethylene liFrame: Fiberglass liCarrying weight: 8 pounds /ulpstrongfont color=CC6600BIGAmazon.com Tent Guide/BIG/font/strongbrstrongfont color=CC6600Selecting a Tent/font/strongbr Fortunately, there are all kinds of tents for weekend car campers, Everest expeditions, and everything in-between. Here are a few things to keep in mind: pstrongfont color=CC6600Expect the Worst/font/strongbr In general, it’s wise to choose a tent that’s designed to withstand the worst possible conditions you think you’ll face. For instance, if you’re a summer car camper in a region where weather is predictable, an inexpensive family or all-purpose tent will likely do the trick–especially if a vehicle is nearby and you can make a mad dash for safety when bad weather swoops in. If you’re a backpacker, alpine climber, or bike explorer, or if you like to car camp in all seasons, you’ll want to buy something designed to handle more adversity. pstrongfont color=CC6600Three- and Four-Season Tents/font/strongbr For summer, early fall, and late spring outings, choose a three-season tent. At minimum, a quality three-season tent will have lightweight aluminum poles, a reinforced floor, durable stitching, and a quality rain fly. Some three-season tents offer more open-air netting and are specifically designed for summer backpacking or other activities. Many premium tents will also feature pre-sealed, taped seams and a silicone-impregnated rain fly for enhanced waterproofing. p For winter camping or alpine travel, go with a four-season model. Because they typically feature more durable fabric coatings, as well as more poles, four-season tents are designed to handle heavy snowfall and high winds without collapsing. Of course, four-season tents exact a weight penalty of about 10 to 20 percent in trade for their strength and durability. They also tend to be more expensive. pstrongfont color=CC6600Domes and Tunnels/font/strongbr Tents are broadly categorized into two types: freestanding, which can stand up on their own, and tents that must be staked down in order to stand upright. Freestanding tents often incorporate a dome-shaped design, and most four-season tents are constructed this way because a dome leaves no flat spots on the outer surface where snow can collect. Domes are also inherently stronger than any other design. Meanwhile, many three-season models employ a modified dome configuration called a tunnel. These are still freestanding, but they require fewer poles than a dome, use less fabric, and typically have a rectangular floorplan that offers less storage space than a dome configuration. Many one and two-person tents are not freestanding, but they make up for it by being lighter. Because they use fewer poles, they can also be quicker to set up than a dome. pstrongfont color=CC6600Size Matters/font/strongbr Ask yourself how many people you’d like to fit in your fabric hotel now and in the future. For soloists and minimalists, check out one-person tents. If you’re a mega-minimalist, or if you have your eye on doing some big wall climbs, a waterproof-breathable bivy sack is the ticket. Some bivy sacks feature poles and stake points to give you a little more breathing room. Also, if you don’t need bug protection and you want to save weight, check out open-air shelters. p Families who plan on car camping in good weather can choose from a wide range of jumbo-sized tents that will accommodate all your little ones with room to spare. A wide range of capacities is available for three- and four-season backpacking and expedition tents. Remember, though, the bigger the tent you buy, the heavier it will be, although it’s easy to break up the tent components among several people in your group. It’s also helpful to compare the volume and floor-space measurements of models you’re considering.p

Wenzel Big Bend 12-by-10 Foot Five-Person Two-Room Family Dome Tent CustomerReview

I love this tent. I can set it up alone(or with the help of a 6 and 7 year old). We were in 2 storms the first time we used it and stayed dry. The only problem I can see is that when it rains and you unzip the door you may get a little water in the tent off the door. Once I realized this I now make sure we push the door out and it works,it stays dry.The amount of water was minimal and could be wiped up with a paper towel.

Wenzel Twin Peaks Sport Dome Tent, Red/Black CustomerReview

I’m a geology professor and there have been times when I’ve had need for a tent for use in my travels. For example, one year I had a sabbatical leave to gather information on the National Parks and Monuments of the western states. I always stayed in the campgrounds, never in the lodges. I got around to 61 National Parks and Monuments that year (late 80s) and have visited many more sites since that time. Plus, I got to liking camping so much that living in a tent was far preferable to staying in a hotel/motel whenever I traveled anywhere.br /br /As such, I had need for a tent. It didn’t need to be very big or elegant and I chose a Wenzel Twin Peaks Model. It looked very much like the model illustrated here, except that mine was a uniform military-green color. The tent only cost about the same as listed here. I found it at the local Target store. Well, that little tent was amazing! Setting it up, or taking it down, only took a few minutes. It was small and had few extras. The construction was simple and rather crudely done. Let me add that it was totally sufficient! On at least 90% of my uses, I was as a single person, but it was well suited for two.br /br /That little tent went everywhere from the Texas Border to the Canadian Border and from North Dakota/South Dakota/Nebraska on the east to the Pacific Coast. It experienced wind storms, rain storms and even a couple good snow storms. I had no problem under any of those conditions. About the only complaint I had was that it leaked slightly at the sewed seams during heavy prolonged rains.br /br /I used the Wenzel Tent regularly for about 15 years. It was just a wonderful little tent. Finally, the door zipper gave out and, I might add that the whole tent was looking somewhat tattered. Next, I bought a larger Coleman four-person dome tent and really liked it in that I could stand up in it. It made it through several dramatic rain/lightning/wind storms. I was amazed at how well these domes could hold up. I got good service out of it for about three years and the sun finally destroyed the fabric. After that, I bought a second large Coleman and used it for a couple years until one of the elastics within the fiberglass poles snapped rendering the tent useless. All in all, of these three tents I’ve owned on a long-term basis, I’d judge the Wenzel to be the best tent, even though it was small, featureless and crudely made. And it was by far the cheapest. I just bring this up because I recently purchased a three-person Kelty tent and it brought up fond remembrances of my old Wenzel. I hope these new ones are as good as the one I purchased all those years ago. If so, you should be very satisfied.br /br /Gary Peterson

Wenzel Ridgeline 7 X 7-Feet Three-Person Dome Tent (Blue/LightGrey/Red) CustomerReview

Just for me and my back pack, plenty of space inside. I thought it needed more color outside for visability of finding my way back home with a load of firewood or bucket of water in the twilight, but carring bright bandanas for a flag keeps the waspers away from my door. Tent doesn’t have much of exterior anchor system in high wind but a little gold nylon rope from the grommets to an anchor worked fine (and I slept like a baby). Good floor, good ventilation BUT BUT BUT it smelled like plastic the first couple of days so let it air out, pack it with some of those silica gel packets, maybe a few squirts of febreeze . . . mighty fine little tent for the price. It packs well just keep your poles outside the pack as to not stress fiberglass.

Other details include a gear loft for storage, a removable fly with a hoop frame over the door, and ABS plastic pegs. pbSpecifications/bulliBase: 18 by 10 feet liCenter height: 74 inches liArea: 116 square feet liCapacity: 6-7 people liCarrying weight: 22 pounds liWarranty: 10 years /ulpstrongfont color=CC6600BIGAmazon.com Tent Guide/BIG/font/strongbrstrongfont color=CC6600Selecting a Tent/font/strongbr Fortunately, there are all kinds of tents for weekend car campers, Everest expeditions, and everything in-between.

At minimum, a quality three-season tent will have lightweight aluminum poles, a reinforced floor, durable stitching, and a quality rain fly. Some three-season tents offer more open-air netting and are specifically designed for summer backpacking or other activities. Many premium tents will also feature pre-sealed, taped seams and a silicone-impregnated rain fly for enhanced waterproofing. p For winter camping or alpine travel, go with a four-season model. Because they typically feature more durable fabric coatings, as well as more poles, four-season tents are designed to handle heavy snowfall and high winds without collapsing.

They also tend to be more expensive. pstrongfont color=CC6600Domes and Tunnels/font/strongbr Tents are broadly categorized into two types: freestanding, which can stand up on their own, and tents that must be staked down in order to stand upright. Freestanding tents often incorporate a dome-shaped design, and most four-season tents are constructed this way because a dome leaves no flat spots on the outer surface where snow can collect. Domes are also inherently stronger than any other design. Meanwhile, many three-season models employ a modified dome configuration called a tunnel. These are still freestanding, but they require fewer poles than a dome, use less fabric, and typically have a rectangular floorplan that offers less storage space than a dome configuration. Many one and two-person tents are not freestanding, but they make up for it by being lighter. Because they use fewer poles, they can also be quicker to set up than a dome. pstrongfont color=CC6600Size Matters/font/strongbr Ask yourself how many people you’d like to fit in your fabric hotel now and in the future. For soloists and minimalists, check out one-person tents. If you’re a mega-minimalist, or if you have your eye on doing some big wall climbs, a waterproof-breathable bivy sack is the ticket. Some bivy sacks feature poles and stake points to give you a little more breathing room. Also, if you don’t need bug protection and you want to save weight, check out open-air shelters. p Families who plan on car camping in good weather can choose from a wide range of jumbo-sized tents that will accommodate all your little ones with room to spare. A wide range of capacities is available for three- and four-season backpacking and expedition tents. Remember, though, the bigger the tent you buy, the heavier it will be, although it’s easy to break up the tent components among several people in your group.

Wenzel Sycamore 18- by 10-Foot Seven-Person Three-Room Family Dome Tent CustomerReview

Bottom Line:br /============br /I’ve owned this tent for almost 8 years, and it’s served me well. We’ve had no problems, aside from a broken elastic cord in the pole, but this is common with all dome tents, and was easily fixable with my tent repair kit that I always keep on hand. You will need to water proof this tent just like any other tent you buy. (Using a waterproofing spray and seam sealer.) Setup is fairly simple. I am able to do it by myself, but it is easier and faster with a partner.br /br /Other Details:br /==============br /Waterproofing:br /————–br /Unless specified on the package or product listing, no tent is waterproof, EVER. All tents must be treated and waterproofed prior to use in wet weather. Even if you waterproof, I do suggest a covering with a secure tarp if you plan on camping in areas that expect moderate to strong storms, though for knowledgeable campers, this is common sense for all tents. br /br /The fly (separate red cover) on this tent does not offer protection from elements, but it does cover a nice feature for this tent: Almost 100% of the tent under the fly is screen. This means no waking up drenched from sweat because it’s as hot as an oven in your tent under the morning sun. The screen allows for significant airflow ventilation without having to lose privacy opening the windows. br /br /Setup:br /——br /I can do it by myself with moderate struggle, but it’s easy with two people, and should be setup within 15-20 minutes for new campers. I do have some trouble securing the fly if I’m setting the tent up myself, but after practice, I’ve worked out a method that works. You will too.br /br /br /Size Quality:br /—————br /The size of this tent is nice. The 2 of us adult are able to sleep comfortably, on a king-size inflate mattress, with ample room for gear, and two large dog crates in the other “bedroom” end. With minimal gear, and sleeping bags, this tent could easily sleep 4-5 adults comfortably. br /br /I was impressed with the durability of this tent. I’m not gentle or careful with my camping gear and other than the broken pole (which again, was my fault, and a common breakage for all dome tents) there have been no problems.

The Klondike sleeps eight, five in its 98 square feet of interior space, with room for sleeping three more in the 60 square foot screen room with its zip up walls. 6.5 feet of head room lets you stand up straight while inside the tent.

In addition a rear mesh vent creates ground breeze. Weather Armor polyester fabric with a polyurethane water resistant coating protects from top to bottom.

Wenzel Grand Lodge 14- by 12-Foot, 8 Person Cabin Dome Tent CustomerReview

After researching about a dozen different tents over several weeks, I decided there was not a tent available that would fit exactly what I was looking for. But the Wenzel Grand Lodge came the closest to it, so that’s what I bought.br /br /We considered other brands’ large tents. But in many of the campgrounds we frequent, the sites would not easily accommodate some of the larger dimensions. This tent is 14×12, with a total of 168 sq. feet. We looked at one tent I liked that was 17×10, with 170 sq feet. But the extra 3 feet of length would mean our options for locating it would have been more limited.br /br /My family of four camps with a ton of gear. But we like to enjoy camping, not endure it. And we like much of it in the tent with us, so I wanted a tent with lots of storage space. This tent has it. We have two large Slumberjack cots for my wife me, and two Thermarest pads for our kids. And there was still room for all our clothing, two folding chairs, and a tall heater.br /br /The tent was easy to set up the first time, but you have to follow the directions on the tent bag. The poles are color coded and it’s easy to see what connects where. I don’t know how long the colored stickers on the poles and connectors will last, so I will be marking them myself with a paint pen.br /br /The first night we got a little chilly when the temp dipped down to about 40º. We had a small heater, but it was not enough to maintain warmth in this big tent. Especially when you consider the top of the main tent is about 95% screen. So I went into town the next day and bought a larger heater and two king-size sheets. I spread the sheets out over the top of the main tent, covering the screen top pretty well. That night it got down to about 37º, but we were toasty warm. Lesson learned. I think for long term we will have a seamstress I know add some velcro strips to the top of the tent and the sheets.
br /br /The third night it rained off and on all night. There were no thunderstorms, but it was a steady, fairly hard rain. I had Scotchguarded the entire tent, so I was anxious to see how it would hold up. The next morning we had two small puddles where rain has wicked through the tent wall due to something inside touching the wall. Otherwise, it was completely dry. I was pleased with the results, considering how much it had rained.br /br /We’re all really pleased with this tent. The day we were leaving I asked my six-year-old daughter if she wants to go camping again soon. She replied, “Yes, Friday!”
