Product Description
The Tradewinds Lodge 6 is the ultimate home away from home. The main tent body uses a special 3-pole configuration making this a very stable tent in windy conditions. We have also incorporated an extremely large free-standing, ridged vestibule which uses Chinook's unique VestaRidge™ system. It doesn't stop there… we have also added a heavy duty, oxford nylon floor for extra protection against wear and tear. Features: - Two extra large private rooms — one room with a front and rear door, the other has one main door - Extremely large, front vestibule is more than big enough to fit a picnic table - Two large doors on fly — the main door doubles as sun and rain awning - Extra large doors with “no-see-um” screen windows for superb ventilation on warm evenings - Extra long tent fly with delta panels to help keep rain far away from the tent floor and body - Designed for a quick and easy set-up so you can enjoy the great outdoors faster Specifications: - Capacity: 6 person + - Fiber Glass poles tent weight: 28 lbs 8 oz (12.9 kg) - Poles: 3 + ridgepole + vestibule - Doors: 3 doors - Height: 6'9" (206 cm) - Floor: 9'2" x 12'2" (280 x 371 cm) - Body area: 112 ft2 (10.4 m2) - with vestibule: 192 ft2 (17.8 m2) - 3 season

With winds being a key concern of camping in Wyoming I read many reviews and was encouraged by those who felt this tent was stable in windy conditions.An experienced camper and a Wyoming resident for 56 years I know about wind. I don't expect perfection but I do expect when a top rated tent is properly set up and guyed out properly that a few gusts to 30 mph won't break 2 of the 3 poles and disjoint the third as happened on my first trip. I had set the tent up twice in my yard before using this tent and one of those was under windy conditions. A 6 ft cedar fence protected it from direct wind then but I should have heeded what I saw. The fiberglass poles are weak and undulate severely. On the first trip the first section (closest to the ground) of the blue and yellow poles splintered longitudinally and the black one came apart at the apex of the arch. I wasn't present for the mayhem but a post mortem revealed all pegs were still in ground leaving me to believe the extreme flexing (read weakness) of the fiberglass poles was the culprit in this failure.I am now trying to find aluminum replacement poles for this tent as it was a gift to my sweetie's daughter and her two young children. Thank goodness this failure happened to me and not to them! Positives: Very roomy tent. Full fly on a family type tent a real plus and the deciding factor for purchase of this tent. Looking forward to trying again with aluminum poles. The pearl: Pay the extra for the aluminum poles!!!
