We bought this tent to take on Boy scout trips. The cover is not large enouph to cover the top of the tent without a small gust of wind taking it off. Also this tent cant take any wind. It was alittle windy the night we used it and the tent just blew over. After the wind stopped it stood up pretty again. If you are a serious camper this is NOT the tent for you. It is not worth the hassel time or money
