Oh my goodness this is the greatest addition to our basketball goal! It lights up the entire driveway! My kids play so much more now that it is getting dark so early. It was professionally installed but watching him, I think I could have done it. We are so happy with it.

I did a lot of research before purchasing this reformer. I am new to pilates and am turning to it after almost two years of lower back pain caused by the after-effects of pregnancy (ie. majorly stretched out muscles). I read other reviews saying that it was big, and it really is. I wasn't fully prepared for how big it is. But I am thoroughly impressed with the quality of this reformer. Assembly wasn't too difficult and I did it by myself. My only suggestion is to pay attention to the number of bolts that are required for each step of the assembly process as illustrated, otherwise it is pretty easy to miss some of the pre-drilled holes and end up with extra bolts. I've only been using my reformer for a week, but I can tell you that it is a fantastic whole body workout. I'm already feeling much stronger in my core and having less back pain. I'm not the kind of person who has ever enjoyed getting on any type of exercise machine. I was a competitive swimmer up until about 8 years ago and I've never really enjoyed any other form of exercise as much as swimming until I found this. I look forward to this workout every day. This reformer was definitely worth the money.

The Stamina AeroPilates Pro XP 556 takes the traditional Pilates workout to the next level for a fun, safe, and comfortable Pilates workout with the addition of cardio training. With the AeroPilates Pro you will achieve the long, lean Pilates body as you improve your cardiovascular fitness with the Free-Form Rebounder. You'll lose weight and tone the hips, thighs, and abdominals! Using the AeroPilates Pro is the safest, most effective way to perform Pilates exercises without a licensed instructor, and with the included videos, anyone can learn to use the machine.
Heavy-steel frame and oak-finished wood construction give the AeroPilates Pro the quality and look of upscale commercial reformers, but it is more affordable and sized to fit your home. Adjustable ropes, straps, and handgrips are designed to fit any user. Footrest adjusts to three positions, and the rails are five inches longer than standard reformers, to accommodate taller users. Commercial grade wheels provide the smoothest carriage glide available.
The Cardio Rebounder fits in holes at the base of the machine and functions like a trampoline. The Rebounder allows you to "jump" while lying down on the reformer, so that users of any fitness level can use the Rebounder safely and effectively. The cardio workout is gentle to your joints and connective tissue, and yet allows you to reach and maintain your target heart rate as effectively as with a treadmill. You can turn your feet in or out to hit different muscle groups and reach hard to access thigh, hip, and waist muscles. The Rebounder can be taken on and off the reformer easily.
The reformer is elevated about 15 inches off of the floor to allow for more advanced exercises with a greater range of motion, and to make it easier to get on and off. Adjustable headrest and oversized high-density foam shoulder pads offer additional support and comfort. To use the machine, you lay down on the comfortable cushion that moves back and forth on quiet and ultra-smooth rollers and gliders. The resistance is changed with four heavy-duty elastic cords at the base of the machine, allowing you to build up resistance as you develop strength, and adjust resistance for different exercises and muscle groups.
Developed by Joseph Hubertus Pilates approximately 80 years ago, the Pilates exercise system develops flexibility, posture, and strength. With the purpose of building core strength, Pilates workouts challenge balance, core strength, stability, and flexibility. The AeroPilates Pro makes challenging Pilates exercises easier to perform properly, effectively, safely and provides optimum challenge and usability for seasoned Pilates trainers and novices alike.

Century Two-Piece 18-30 Type 1 Safety Post with Bag

This distribution tree is the best I could find after looking all over the web and in local stores. It makes a FIRM connection to the tank, not relying upon the threaded gas tank connector to help hold the tree in place. And the two piece break down is really handy, both for storage and if you don't need all the height. I have used it and it is really stable.
To help with tank stability, I recommend getting a 'Tank Stand' or base, a plastic ring that the 20# tank slips firmly into. Got mine at local UHaul for $6.95, cheaper than or same as any prices on web. Camping World has them for a couple bucks more + shipping. But the stability is great!

This two-piece, 30-inch-high safety post permits the operation of three appliances from one bulk propane tank. Each of the three outlets has an automatic shut-off valve. The compact two-piece design takes up less storage space and also allows operation as a single 18-inch-high post. A durable nylon storage bag holds both halves of the post. Tools are not required to set up the post.

Eureka Bitterroot 11-Foot by 11-Foot Six-Person Square Dome Tent Review

Eureka Bitterroot 11-Foot by 11-Foot Six-Person Square Dome Tent
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First of all let me say that from experience I can tell you without a doubt that we will ONLY buy Eureka brand tents because of their quality of construction, durability, and speedy ease of setup/breakdown.
I bought this tent under the Amazon review/recommendation that two queen beds would fit inside. The truth is that technically they do "fit" inside but not comfortably. When this tent arrived we set it up in the yard to make sure everything fit well together before taking it on a trip. I inflated two of our queen mattresses and put them inside. They fit *exactly* side by side with NO room between mattresses to put a lamp, gear, or even your foot. There is plenty of room at the foot of the beds for your gear but if you are like me, when you get out of bed you want to be able to put your feet down and stand up, not having to shimmy your way to the foot of the bed to crawl out at the foot of the bed. Queen mattresses are 5' wide. Together that is 10' which leaves only 1-foot of space between them which sounds like it would be okay but it isn't because mattresses with bedding are poofy and take up all the space. Period. I believe this tent would best accommodate one Queen with one Twin, or, Two doubles. In rainy weather you'd want to move your items away from the inside walls of the tent, with two Queens side by side you can't really do this so trust me, this tent is better suited for a queen and a twin.
That being said, this tent has some EXCELLENT features. The ceiling height is absolutely HUGE. I could not touch the ceiling even on my tippy-toes. The gear loft is marvelous and would be very useful. There are two vents in the ceiling and windows on all FOUR sides which I really like for maximum ventilation! I also love the high/low vent on the door. I love the interior pocket. I love the deeply pitched rainfly over the windows - serious protection from rain coming in the windows and the fact that the seams are taped as well as double sewn. Very well done Eureka! The color is gorgeous, the rainfly sparkles like a new copper penny in the sun. The mesh is ultra fine - better than any other tent I've ever owned. The tent took mere minutes to set up right out of the bag and was just as easy to break down. The zippers worked smoothly, no chance of the zipper fabric getting caught in these because there isn't any! Another finely engineered tent by Eureka! My only regret is that this tent does not come in a 13x11 size.
I want to say once again that the peaks on the rainfly are ideal for keeping wet weather away from the windows... just compare them to any other tent style to see what I mean. It's a no brainer. The ceiling height is cavernous, really excellent of them to finally make a super tall ceiling. You'll want to play basketball in there.
I also want to say that Eureka is spot-on when it comes to guy-line free tents! This tent is stable even without being staked down and there will be NO guy lines for you and the kids to trip over, not to mention never having to rely on the soil's ability to hang on to a stake. Anyone who has had their stakes come out in soft or sandy soil knows exactly what I mean! No worries with this tent!
PS: We also own the Eureka Sunrise9 which fits the teens' two twin beds beautifully and has a lot of great features. It's also a keeper!
UPDATE! Over Memorial Day weekend we ended up taking the Bitteroot on a Disney Camping trip... gave it to the kids to use as a 'spare' tent and OH WHAT FUN they had! They were able to fit 2 twin mattresses in there with loads and loads of room to spare. Even I, Mom, was envious. The tent is is giagantic and roomy inside but I personally wouldn't put two queen beds side by side in there. There was so much room in this tent it was unbelieveable. They had a lot of camp-site-friends come in to play - no problem at all and ventilation was great even with a lot of goofy kids inside. It was very easy to set up. I was skeptical because we had planned to take the 9x9 but ended up packing this 11x11 instead. This tent plus another 13x10 AND a 12x10 canopy will fit in a Disney Fort Wilderness tent site no problem!
Another Upate: This tent spent it's second trip at Hillsborough River State Park over Thanksgiving. People actually stopped by to ask about it because they watched us set it up in minutes and it's so pretty and large. They couldn't believe how big it was inside. Later that trip we added a third twin bed with no problems. This tent also took it's first rain like a champ with no leaks or odd smells. I love this bitteroot!

Ideal for weekend camping trips with family and friends, Eureka's Bitterroot square dome tent offers a spacious 121 square feet of room to comfortably sleep five to six campers. Protective enough for three-season use, the Bitterroot features four large windows to maximize air circulation for camping comfort while zippered window covers control the amount of air flow and provide privacy. No-see-um mesh will keeps out the tiniest insects. High/low door vents are featured at the top and bottom, as bottom vent drafts in cool dry air while upper opening will vent out warm moist air. A side-opening door design allows for easy access for campers to enter and exit the tent. Twin-track zippers provide separate operation of the door and window. Windows combine with large areas of permeable fabric and mesh in the roof cloth for superior air flow while minimizing condensation.
To ensure a dry and comfortable camping trip, all major seams and reinforcements are factory sealed to prevent water entry while a wrap-up bathtub floor minimizes ground level seams and will keep water out and the tent floor dry. In case you do encounter wet weather, a hooded fly on all sides protects the windows and allows for venting even while it's raining.
When packed up, the tent and its components measure 8 by 33 inches, allowing for easy transport to your camping destinations. The tent's fly and walls are constructed of a strong, UV-resistant polyester fabric while the floor's durable weave is made of heavy-duty poly oxford. With a seve-foot center height, even the tallest campers will be comfortable and move around easily.
Inside the tent, two mesh pockets, four gear loft/clothesline attachments, and a flashlight loop offer additional storage opportunities while a hanging gear loft organizer keeps small essentials close at hand and out of the way.
Designed with Eureka's StormShield features, this self-supporting, two-pole tent is quick and easy to set up with its durable shockcorded fiberglass frame, taffeta rod pockets, and clip attachments. Pole sections are interconnected with shockcords for quick set-up and to prevent lost parts. The shockcoding will also absorb and dissipate wind stress, reducing wear and tear on the tent's fabrics. A ring-and-pin assembly provides durable attachment of the tent body to the frame at the base. Storm rings on the fly, along with guylines, provide guy points in wind.
Specifications:
Style: Two-pole square dome
Seasons: Three
Sleeps: Five to six
Footprint: 11 by 11 feet
Peak height: 7 feet
Area: 121 square feet
Minimum weight: 23 pounds, 15 ounces

StormShield Construction Details:
Double-wall construction minimizes condensation build-up inside tent by allowing air to circulate between the mesh tent roof and waterproof fly.
Doors vent from the top and/or bottom, providing options for moderating air flow; warm air exits from the top and cool air enters at the bottom.
Cross ventilation through breathable interior fabric, large windows, and roof vents allows fresh air to enter and moist air to escape the tent.
High perimeter seams of the bathtub floors couple with factory taped floor seams and fly seams to keep water out.
Self-supporting frames flex to absorb and dissipate stress from strong winds.
Fabric reinforcements add an extra layer of protection to high wear and high stress areas.
Anchors for harsh weather include storm guyout rings, loops, and webs.
Nickel sliders on self-healing nylon coil zippers keep windows and doors working smoothly.
Shockcorded poles take the guesswork out of assembly, save time, and prevent lost parts.
Ring and pin assemblies make setup easy and reduce stress and abrasion where the frame and tent floor connect.
Post and grommet attachments speed set up and augment the tent’s structural integrity.
The twin-track zipper system allows door windows to operate independently of doors for convenience and ease of entry and exit.

About Eureka Though the exact year is unknown, Eureka’s long history begins prior to 1895 in Binghamton, New York, where the company still resides today. Then known as the Eureka Tent & Awning Company, its first wares were canvas products--most notably, Conestoga wagon covers and horse blankets for nineteenth century American frontiersmen--as well as American flags, store awnings, and camping tents.
The company increased production of its custom canvas products locally throughout the 1930s and during the 1940 and even fabricated and erected the IBM "tent cities" just outside Binghamton. The seven acres of tents housed thousands of IBM salesmen during the company’s annual stockholders meeting, which had since outgrown its previous locale. In the 1940s, with the advent of World War II and the increased demand for hospital ward tents, Eureka expanded operations and began shipping tents worldwide. Ultimately, upon the post-war return of the GIs and the resultant housing shortage, Eureka turned its attention to the home front during the 1950s by supplying awnings for the multitude of mobile homes that were purchased.
In 1960, Eureka’s new and innovative Draw-Tite tent, with its practical, free standing external frame, was used in a Himalayan Expedition to Nepal by world renowned Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person documented to summit Mt. Everest only six years earlier. In 1963, Eureka made history during its own Mt. Everest ascent, with more than 60 of its tents sheltering participants from fierce 60+ mph winds and temperatures reaching below -20°F during the first all American Mt. Everest Expedition.
For backpackers and families, Eureka introduced its legendary Timberline tent in the 1970s. Truly the first StormShield design, this completely self-supporting and lightweight backpacking tent became one of the most popular tents the entire industry with sales reaching over 1 million by its ten year anniversary.
Eureka tents have also traveled as part of several historic expeditions, including the American Women’s Himalayan Expedition to Annapurna I in 1978 and the first Mt. Everest ascents by a Canadian and American woman in 1986 and 1988. In recent history, tents specially designed and donated by Eureka sheltered Eric Simonson and his team on two historic research expeditions to Mount Everest, this time in a quest for truth regarding the 1924 attempted summit of early English explorers George Mallory and Andrew Irvine. During the 1999 expedition, the team made history finding the remains of George Mallory, but the complete mystery remained unsolved. Returning in 2001 to search for more clues, the team found amazing historical artifacts which are now on display at the Smithsonian.
Amazon.com Tent Guide Selecting a Tent 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:
Expect the Worst 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 take something designed to handle more adversity.
Three- and Four-Season Tents 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 more specifically designed for summer backpacking and other activities. Many premium tents will feature pre-sealed, taped seams and a silicone-impregnated rain-fly for enhanced waterproofness.
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.
Domes and Tunnels Tents are broadly categorized into two types, freestanding, which can stand up on their own, and those 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 floor-plan 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 more lightweight. Because they use fewer poles, they can also be quicker to set up than a dome.
Size Matters 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.
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 also 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.

Eureka Sunrise 9 4-Person 9-Foot by 9-Foot Family Tent Review

Eureka Sunrise 9 4-Person 9-Foot by 9-Foot Family Tent
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have owned the Sunrise 9 since 2002 and have used it on dozens of camping trips in Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and California. At the time I purchased it, I was the only one using it and it's way more tent than one person needs, although I absolutely loved having it to myself.
For those doing intensive research on their next tent purchase, I will provide as much detail as I can, as I find reviews aren't terribly helpful if someone only says "the tent is great". Details are very important. :o) Read on..
SET-UP:
First and foremost, the tent is very easy to construct and only takes me [and my now partner] 10 minutes to stake and raise. I always stake tents first (and then raise them), as I never trust a free-standing tent. I don't recall ever having read the instructions, as Eureka makes this tent about as fail-safe as it gets. Staking out the corners first also allows the sidewalls to be very taught once the poles are raised.
SIZE AND COMFORT:
The center height of 6' is adequate for me and my partner, as we're both 5'7". We generally use a king size air mattress, which takes up the majority of the center of the floor, but we have plenty of room to store bags and shoes on either side of the mattress. Head room, on the other hand, is moderately compromised on either side of the mattress, as it is a dome tent. The tent would fit a queen air mattress and two children's sleeping bags with perhaps a little room to spare. It's a fabulous and very spacious two-person dream tent.
Cross-ventilation is superior, with large windows on all 4 walls (including the door), as well as a low vent on the bottom of the door to allow cooler air at lower levels. The ceiling also contains several mesh vents. Since the fly is elevated, air circulates throughout the tent and it never becomes stuffy.
There are very handy storage pockets below each window which provide a very useful space for sunglasses, reading glasses, flashlights and other gear. The hanging gear loft is great for things you use occasionally, but wouldn't need access to at night. It's also a great place to rig up a battery powered overhead lantern.
WEATHER:
Our Sunrise 9 has seen it all - rain, shine, snow, wind, hail and sleet. As noted above, I always stake first, then raise. Since the sidewalls are always taught, wind never conerns me. The tent flaps slightly, but integrity is always good and has never been jeopardized. I've never owned a tent that remains so confident during high winds.
Since Eureka tapes most seems, water has never been an issue. As always, we did waterproof each seem and the inside floor of the tent has NEVER seen a drop of water. The fly provides ultimate rain protection while still allowing a view out any window and without limiting air flow. The fly is genious and easy as pie to install. We also always place a tarp underneath the tent to prevent floor seepage.
We've camped at sea level in California and at 12,000 feet in Colorado and the tent has never disappointed when it comes to any weather conditions. Because of the excellent ventilation, the tent is never more uncomfortable inside than it is outside - an important note, especially in very hot temperatures. I've taken a nap in the tent with 98º outside and was perfectly comfortable (albeit quite warm).
BOTTOM LINE:
Without a doubt, Eureka makes one of the best budget-conscious tents you can buy if you plan to have your tent for many years. All tents require the owner to put forth a little effort and care to maintain its integrity. It's not going to remain perfect if you don't take the time to set it up properly, waterproof the seams, take it down carefully and re-pack it in the fashion you un-packed it. If it takes 5 minutes longer to ensure you're doing it right, spend the extra 5 minutes and your Eureka tent will provide you with years of enjoyable trips with your family.
I would like to think Eureka has good customer service, as I've heard they do, but my tent has not failed me in any way, so I've not needed their assistance. They make a great product, which is evidenced by the fact that they're still offering tents they've been manufacturing for many years with minimal changes.
I've recently ordered the Eureka N!ergy Screen House and the Eureka Copper Canyon 1512 so we have more room for lounging and relaxation and will post reviews once they've been put to good use!

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.
Domes and Tunnels Tents are broadly categorized into two types, freestanding, which can stand up on their own, and those 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 floor-plan 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 more lightweight. Because they use fewer poles, they can also be quicker to set up than a dome.
Size Matters 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.
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 also 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.

I purchased this product to use primarily at home and when traveling. Even when staying at 5 star hotels there always seems to be one mosiquito in the room. This net works great, but the only drawback is that it acts as an insulator. You might have to sleep with the AC on if you are in a hot humid climate. I have never been bitten when using the net tent;)

The flex system sounds good, but the way the net connects to the poles is poorly designed and breaks easily, also difficult to get the net parallel on both sides. Go with a better quality volleyball set if you want the flex system.

Forget the $700 9'9" rods and "Special Indicator" Rods being marketed for nymphing and buy this rod. At 9'6", it has the length as well as the responsivness necessary to effectively fish with nymphs. Whether used for "high sticking" or Czech Nymphing it performs well. Good quality hardware components and workmanship for the price...A Great Value!

I bought this Party Animal flag in September 2008. It's now March 2009 and the flag is tattered on the back edge. I live in Houston, so we don't have strong winds very much. I took the flag down during several storms with strong winds, but it's still tattered after only 6 months. I would not recommend this item.

recieved the 5# replica in a box. removed it noticed that the tail had broken in half, and had shattered into 5 pieces. apparently this is a common problem because there was a hand-written note in the box telling me to just glue the tail/fin back on with super glue. glued it together, but it doesnt look right. maybe haynes needs to label their packages different, or come up with better packaging. i am going to contact them about this matter and see what my options are....

6-Pack Tink's® All-Season Smokin' Sticks™ Review

6-Pack Tink's® All-Season Smokin' Sticks™
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
As with any hunter, I am always a sucker for trying something different, hoping to find the product that will give me that little edge. While examining the scents at a local sporting goods store, an old timer told me how well these worked for him. Well, I was sold, so I thought I would give them a try.
I completely understand that there are many factors in determining whether a scent product works or not. Sometimes there are just no deer around to attract and I do not want to fault the product for that. My intent is to try this product over a few seasons, updating the results every year. Each year I get a deer I'll add a star. Every year they do not attract a deer I take away an additional star.
To use the sticks, the manufacturer recommends covering the stick with a smoke stack, a cover made to protect the burning sticks from rain and wind. You can purchase one from Tinks or make your own out of a bucket (directions included with the sticks). To make a cover, I took a 5 gallon bucket. Using a tape measure, I marked 12 marks on what would normally be the bottom of the bucket and marked 6 marks 4 inches from what would normally be the top of the bucket. Drill a 0.5 inch hole on each of the 12 marks at the bottom of the bucket and drill 1 inch hole on each of the 6 marks at the top of the bucket and you are done.
One additional recommendation I would make is to take a piece of scrap 2x4 about 4 inches long and drill 2 holes in it 1/8th an inch in size. This works excellent for holding the sticks when they are burning.
The one thing I learned was that the sticks seem to attract moisture, so do not leave unburned sticks out overnight if it is damp out. When I left a stick out overnight, it was obviously moist the next morning. It was difficult to light, but it still lit after a minute or two and burned normally after that.
Year 1:
Location: Central WI, near the town of Adams
Timeframe: Late Nov, 9 day gun deer season
Results: Got a doe, but Smokin Sticks did not attract any deer.
Comments: I burned 1 stick every two hours for 6 hours straight. I did this for the 2 days I hunted. The sticks attracted no deer. I left the bucket and ashes out overnight and the next morning I saw no tracks or anything to indicate that anything came to investigate the scent. The deer I got was far from the burning stick and there was no indication that it smelled it.

Coleman Sundome Tent (10-Feet x 10-Feet) Review

Coleman Sundome Tent (10-Feet x 10-Feet)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a review as well as some suggestions for the other reviewers.
1) The rainfly does cover the windows if you align it / center it correctly.
2) It has excellent vetntilation. The cealing does not have a closeable nylon covers inside the tent. This is because it is a 3 season tent. If you were able to close it to keep dust out you would find that the tent would be wet from condensation inside on the inside. So the cealing is mesh to let warm air and moisture excape. The rainfly keeps moisture out.
If the cealing had zipper covering over the mesh,it would be a 4 season tent useable in winter.
The tent sets up easy and served us well in our first weekend camoing in it. We did not get any real rain so I cant comment on its waterproof effectiveness. But it is gaurenteed waterproof.
I love the headroom and the zippers opperated smoothly without a snag.
I'm happy with it. Hope this is helpful.
5-13-2008
I used this tent 6 times this year already. One night it rained very hard. The tent was amazing as not one drop on either of us throught the entire storm. I honestly thought that we were going to get wet. This tent does what it says. Update 2009
Ok it is now 2009, the rainfly ripped last year but Coleman sent me a new replacement at no charge. Suggestion, you don't need to tighten the 2 side rain fly cords so tight just enough so they are away from the tent. You should however tighten the 4 corner rain fly cords snug, this help keep the rainflt and tent stable and keep pressure off the 2 side rain fly cords where rips occurred. Follow this and you should not tear your rain fly. It rained all weekend while camping this weekend. 2 nights very hard and not a drop on us. third season and the tent still has no issues. I really like this tent.
I would confidently buy another Coleman tent. Don

Roomy enough for the whole family, the Coleman Sundome tent sleeps up to five people at a time in complete comfort. The Sundome is outfitted with Coleman's exclusive WeatherTec system, a series of technical features intended to protect you from inclement weather and nasty storms. WeatherTec tents are built with a coated polyester fabric combined with anti-wicking thread, webbing, and zippers, all designed to keep you dry when the rain comes down. The tent's welded waterproof floor and inverted floor seams, meanwhile, dramatically increase the water resistance by hiding the needle holes inside the tent and away from the elements. And in addition to offering fully taped rainfly seams, the included rainfly covers the doors and windows tightly and incorporates easy-to-use Velcro frame attachments. In fact, Coleman is so confident in its WeatherTec system that it exposes its WeatherTec tents to a rain room that simulates nasty downpours, and to a wind machine capable of blowing hurricane force gusts. The results? Even after the tests, Coleman guarantees its WeatherTec tents will keep you dry.
The Sundome's interior is notably spacious, with a base that measures 10 feet by 10 feet and a center height of 72 inches--plenty of headroom for most people. In addition, the tent is engineered to keep you cool thanks to the adjustable Variflo ventilation and vented Cool-Air port. Best of all for travel-weary campers, the Sundome sets up quickly, with two shock-corded steel poles, continuous pole sleeves, a pin-and-ring design, and InstaClip attachments. The tent even comes with easy-to-follow instructions sewn into the durable carrying bag. Other features include a heavy-duty welcome mat, a single door, separate bags for the poles and stakes, a privacy vent window, an interior gear pocket, and an electrical access port.

About Coleman More than 100 years ago, a young man with an entrepreneurial spirit and a better idea began manufacturing lanterns in Wichita, Kansas. His name was W.C. Coleman, and the company he founded would change life in America. A man plagued with such poor vision he sometimes had to ask classmates to read aloud to him, Coleman saw a brilliant light in 1900 in a drugstore window that stopped him in his tracks. He inquired about the light inside and discovered he was able to read even the small print on a medicine bottle by the illumination. The lamps had mantles, not wicks, and were fueled by gasoline under pressure instead of coal oil. Soon afterward, Coleman started a lighting service that offered a "no light, no pay" clause--a big step forward for merchants who were burned by inferior products that rarely worked--and drew substantial interest from businesses that wanted to keep their lights on after dark.
In the ensuing years, Coleman expanded its product line well beyond lanterns. The company's current catalog is thick with products that make spending time outdoors a pleasure. There are coolers that keep food and drinks cold for days on end, comfortable airbeds that won't deflate during the night, a complete line of LED lights that last for years, powerful portable grills that cook with an authentic open-grill flame, and much, much more. Coleman has truly fashioned much of our outdoor camping experience, and expects to do so for generations to come.

This product is a fair deal but not as good as some. I bought this for my wife as well to use as she didn't have her own and she wanted to start fishing with me and kids. Anyway the pole is a little long but had problems with the reel not casting and retrieving line back both. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who is seriously looking for an easy to use fishing combo. Try another make or spend a little more and avoid the trouble.
