Party Tents Direct 20 x 30 Pole Tent, Weekender Canopy with Heavy Duty PVC White Top, Easy Up Outdoor Party Tent Gazebo for Weddings Events and Backyard Use, 120 Person Capacity

It's wonderful a great asset

I purchased the 20x20 pole tent to replace an aging framed tarp setup. I have used it three times so far, once to set up to see how it went up. Two of us set it up in about 15 minutes with no issues. Second time was for a family outing with typical Kansas winds, had more help to put it up, again no issues. Independence Day week we used it in AR. It weathered some significant winds as a storm rolled in, again no issues. It appears to be fairly sturdy. It is best set up with 3 to 4 folks helping but can be done with at least two with some effort. I ground down the sharp edges on the tent stakes as result of previous reviewers, they were quite sharp and could render easy cuts to hands and ankles. I plan to put either tennis balls or caps on the stakes once in the ground to prevent injuries from running into them. The tent folds up well and packs back into the bag nicely. The bottom seam on the pole bag has already ripped out so will have to deal with that. So far it has worked out great. I am about to order the sides to enclose the tent for wet weather. One other thing we did that was a hit was drill out the pole on a standard American flag like you would attached to a porch. We placed it on the center pole as we put up the tent. That really enhances the looks and honors our country.

Expected a sturdier foundation. The setup instructions were incomplete. We could work it out via customer support and imagination. It dis the job well though.

Very heavy duty. Properly stored it will last many years.

Where to begin. I purchased this tent and it did not take long to see that is is poorly made and the materials are very subpar. Manuel was not included in the shipment. Thankfully, it is available online. Assembly was far from easy and one brief thunderstorm later is was in shambles. Straps that are sewn onto the corner came clear off the canopy with little effort. I will glad show pictures of poor stitching. Once the tent ripped, one of the center poles took on so much weight that it bent completely in half. Never got to use it. I contacted that company to let them know of my concerns BEFORE I decided to review them. Told them of what happened and here is their exact response. "Hello. Thank you for reaching out regarding this. We are very sorry to hear this. Please note that the tent should not remain up during any storms. The tent is required to be taken down during heavy winds and storms as tents are not wind rated. We do apologize that this happened and for any inconvenience that this has caused you. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns regarding your order." Thank you TentandTable They advertise that this tent will keep you dry even in the heaviest downpours. I beg to differ. I would simply tell everyone... stay away from this company. This product is complete junk.

We used this tent for a graduation party. We put six 6 ft. tables under it with 6 chairs at each table. We did them in 2 rows. It gave us plenty of room to walk through and stay a little back from the edge of the tent. We had some hard rain that day and the guests were comfortable and dry under the tent. If we had wind also, it would have been a problem that we didn't have sides, but for us it worked out. It was easy for us to put up with 3 people. The tent material is good heavy quality. The poles are sturdy. The tent steaks are very solid metal. The one improvement I would make is to cover the top of the tent steaks with rubber, because the metal is very sharp.

I have only used it once so far but it preformed well on a windy rainy day. I did have two issues during setup. First the stakes that come with the tent are not long enough for reliable tension on the poles. They need to be about a foot longer to get a better bite in the ground. They are also made of material too thin to stand up to more than 5-10 uses. They bend easily when driving in the ground with a hammer. I did not end up using them, had to make my own. If you plan on using the supplied stakes you must wear cut resistant gloves. They did not deburr any of the punched holes and sheared ends, VERY SHARP!! Second at the top of the pole is a rod that goes through a reinforced ring in the canopy. This rod is held in the pole via a friction fit piece of plastic. One of the plastic pieces must have broke during shipping and the rod fell down inside the pole. I had to put the rod back in place and drill a cross hole through the pole and rod and put a 1/4" bolt through it. I will eventually do this to all of the poles because I can see more of them failing in the future, the plastic is very cheap and brittle. The canopy vinyl material is heavy and thick and the stitching seems to be very strong.

Don't review items much but as I know they are very useful. Order this for our church. First, product arrived almost a week earlier than quoted which was great because we were in a crunch. It was heavy but we'll packaged. All parts arrived, along with very easy instructions. Tent vinyl is very durable and pole are very sturdy and easy to assemble and disassemble. Tie downs have a very nifty feature that allows you to tighten the rope without much effort. You will need at least 2 people to help setup. A few more gets you done faster. Setup time was about 30 with 5 people but it was the first time. Great purchase.
