The instructions say not to leave this tent up and that it is not waterproof. My experience has been that it is waterproof and definitely will last at least all rainy season. Don't know beyond that but for such large shelter needed for the pandemic....Awesome!
We use this tent for our "dine out" seatings at our restaurant, it fits 6 tables perfectly at 6 feet apart. When it was pouring rain really hard none of our customers got wet. The tent is very well made, very sturdy, and looks very classy and high end. We got a lot of compliments from our customers. I love that it
This tent worked very well. Once set up we hung lights and decorations inside. Assembly was a little confusing at first, once the detailed illustration was found it went a little better. Before disassembled, I marked with a permanent marker all the joints with matching letters. This will make the next assembly much faster. Because of this size, 33 x 20, Once the roof is assembled it will take at least 6 people to raise the entire thing up and onto the side poles. The canopy material is good. Basically it's the quality of a medium to heavy camping tent. All seams were good. I did see a small tear at one of the velcro anchor points but that was after 2 days of rain and light wind. Overall this tent performed very well. We've already penciled in our next party and plan to use it many more times.
So this was cheaper than renting a tent for a party I wanted to host.Before you buy ask yourself:Are you willing to spend the time putting up and packing up the tent on the same day. You should ideally have four people that are relatively strong and helpful.I say the same day because it should not be left out in rain or windy conditions. It is not meant to be put up for long periods of time.If you are hosting a party and tired at the end of the day your not going to want to spend a few hours taking it down and storing it.All that being said we are happy with the purchase. We have used it for three events now and everyone loves the tent.
So I just purchased this tent instead of renting one for $550 for a 4hr party and I am very satisfied. If we use it twice (AND WE WILL!) it will more than make up for renting one. Very easy to assemble with 3 guys. Had 9, 8' tables with 8-10 chairs at each table with room to spare 70-80 people pretty comfortable. I hung a projector in the middle and 2 tvs on the vertacle poles for a slideshow during the party. When the party was over we brought our large bounce house into the tent for the kids and they loved it! Also great for movie nights in the yard. And this tent is beautiful!!! I'd buy it again and If you have the room to store it (because there are lots of parts) I'd say go buy it. Even if you used it once and turned around and sold it for half the price it would cost less than renting one. We have 2 young children that will have many parties, camp out/ movie nights.
