Trek Tents 10 x 14' Canvas Cabin Tent Khaki Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am near the end of my 3rd season using this tent for camping, from the last of September to the beginning of February, each season. This tent may not be the best looking - outside, but inside it is very roomy. I think it has more usable space than the Trek Model 249 Greenbriar 10x20 that I replaced with this tent. The difference being the higher walls. It has 70 square feet less than the 10x20, but all of the space is easily accessed.
Let me tell you about strength. I have experienced 55mph sustained winds in this tent. At first I was concerned, because 45mph winds tore up my Greenbrier 10x20, on 3 occasions - with me in it. It was no picknick - I tell you. One incident pulled 20 stakes out of the ground and flipped the tent from end to end, along with everything inside --- including me. Now that was a ride to remember. But that has not come close to happening with this 10x14 tent. It has much stronger poles and strong cotton canvas. It takes a lickin and keeps on tickin - so to speak.
As for setup, one person can easily do it. You lay it out on the ground (use a tarp under it). Stake it down. Put the poles in their proper place. Raise the center pole on one side, then raise the one on the other side. Then raise each end, one side at a time. It will not fall over and it will not tear like cheap nylon tents. Order the tent with a Fly cover. The Fly keeps the sun and rain and snow off the roof. That extends the life of the canvas. The fly is a little noisy when it is windy, but it does its job. If you can't sleep, take the fly off.
I only have one complaint with this tent. It is built like an A-frame. Heavy rain and snow can build up on the roof - and cause an end of the tent to colaps. I fixed that problem. I added two inside poles that push up the roof so that snow and rain will slide off. There is so much room inside, the poles are not a bother. I put hooks on them, and use them to hang things on. The poles are not normally needed, but when real bad weather hits, they shoare up tent - making it very sturdy. The poles are expandable in length. That lets me adjust them as needed.
This tent is a cabin to me. I have a twin size air-bed on each end of the tent. I have a cloths rack, a cooking table, 2 end tables, 2 kitchen chairs, a propane tank and heater. I have a big rug in the center that makes it cozy. There is plenty of room to walk around without bumping your head on the 8 foot ceiling. Yep, 8 foot. 6 people can sit and talk with plenty of room.
As for leaking, this tent has a rubberized floor. It is nothing but quality. The seams do not leak - anywhere. The floor stays dry as long as I wipe my feet when I come inside. It is treated for dry-rot, mold, waterproof, and fire resistant.
As for warmth, the canvas holds a lot more heat than Nylon, but it is still a tent. A two burner Coleman stove will warm the tent to 65 degrees in about 3 to 5 minutes. That is 65 degrees at table top height. Stand up and get warmer.
There are large, zippered, 6 foot windows on the sides and on the back wall. They have no-see-um screen on the outside; so does the A-frame door in the front.
The tent poles are adjustable, so that makes it easy to set up on uneven ground.
The zippers are all self-repairing. That means you can back them up and fix the problem - if their is a problem.
If you want a tent that will hold up to the rain, hold up to the snow, and hold up to the wind, this big 10x14 may be just what you are looking for. It is what I was looking for --- and more.
