Here are my first impressions of my new Coleman Evanston 6 after I set it up for the first time. Plus some product details I wasn't able to find before the purchase.I set it up alone. Two long black poles, two long grey poles, a short black pole for the rear window bow, color coded sleeves, no confusion, no mix ups. The poles are very long and bendy. I found it easier to feed the poles in section by section, unfolding as you go rather than following the instructions to unfold them completely first. The fabric sleeves are not reinforced so check the pole ends and ferules for burrs and sharp edges and feed them in carefully. It was also easier to bow and raise the tent with just the two black poles and then feed the front grey pole after. Less weight to wrestle and less floppy ends sticking out. Toss one of the guy strings over the top and then pull the rain fly carefully over. Then install the last grey pole in the awning and stake everything out. There are several velcro tabs on the underside of the rain fly to secure it to the main poles. Unfortunately they are plastic backed instead of fabric. Probably won't last long. Guy strings and tent stakes are average quality.It's a zipper main door on this model with zip up half screen. No flap overlap on the zipper either. I'm hoping the awning will make up for this. (The Evanston 8 has the hinge door).Open mesh on two sides and zip up window in the back. The rain fly overlaps the mesh sides quite a bit. I'm not worried about rain coming in that way. I see this configuration as a compromise between fully closeable tents prone to condensation and some of the other Coleman models with lots of mesh on the back wall that you can't close at all to keep the drafts out. The tent is big and roomy inside. I can stand erect inside with arms straight out and just touch both sides. Nice color, pale minty off-white and "happy" green. Polyester taffeta for both parts. The floor tub is standard dark grey plastic tarp material with welded seams plus a little extra piece for a doormat. The corner pins and rings are aluminum rather than steel. (Less weight? and won't rust and stain later). The back window has three button loops so you can loosely raise the back flap without zipping it completely closed. The doggy door in the back is screened so you can open it for cross flow ventilation and still keep the bugs out. There's also a small zipper opening in the front corner for electrical cords. A handy center loop for hanging things from the ceiling and a good size mesh gear pocket on each side. The front awning looks like a nice feature for shade and wind protection. Will have to see how it works in practice.The seams on the rain fly are taped (sealed). The seams on the body of the tent are not. The company inverted most of the stitched seams so the stitching is on the inside of the tent but I could still see a lot of light through the needle holes. I would strongly recommend taking the time to seal all the seams by hand, inside and out, especially all around the bottom seam where the walls meet the floor. I bought a two ounce bottle of Coleman seam sealer and was able to coat all of the seams on the tent and the fly and still have a lot left over for later. Coleman Company 2Oz Seam Sealer 2000003614 Camping Accessories. The sealer is sort of like rubbery white glue and drys clear in a couple hours. The taffeta material is supposedly treated with Coleman Weathertec waterproofing. I'm going to chance it.After going over every inch of the tent to inspect and seal the seams I give the workmanship an A+. I didn't see any notable issues anywhere. Time will tell how well the materials hold up. Overall I think this is a very good quality item so long as you accept that it is consumer grade product at a bargain price and you'll have to seal the seams yourself.P.S. It wouldn't fit back in the bag on the first attempt.Second try: Leave the window and door open so the air can escape. Lay the fly on top of the tent. Fold in half sideways, then again in thirds, tucking in the loose ends. Should now be the same width as the poles. Roll lengthwise around the poles and Voila!, it fits back in the bag with room to spare.P.S.S.Have been out on a couple trips now. One very hot and another somewhat rainy. No condensation at all inside in the morning. A+! Not drafty. Actually need to leave the windows open to get enough air flow in the muggy weather. Sealing the seams worked well. In the rain I could see water in the folded seams but it wasn't coming through to the inside. Need to keep the front to back guys lines very taut otherwise the rain fly sags at little bit by the front edge and over the back window and the water tries to pool. Otherwise it's all good. The awning is a bit small for sitting but it does makes a good sheltered place to leave shoes and other gear and keeps the rain away from the front door. Also it's a handy place to hold on to while changing shoes.

This is a nice tent that comfortably accomodated two adults and two children. It was fairly easy to set up and has helpful features with a vestibule awning to divert rain. The only negative is that the loops through which the external tent poles pass are not reinforced in any way. So I already have a slight tear on one of them after using it the first time. You have to be very careful passing the poles through the fabric. Overall it is very light and seems a bit fragile. But for the price, and with care, it will be a very good tent for us and our grandchildren. I would definitely recommend setting it up on a tarp.

I received the tent this week and knew I had to set it up before I took it camping. It barely fit on our deck, this thing is huge! I really like the open feeling it gives, very tall, ample room, and appears sturdy. Setup was done in the typical style of a dome tent. It had two fiber poles(much better than the old wood ones) that crossed each other, then a third hoop to lift up the front a little. This was very straight forward. I set it up by myself and it only took me about fifteen minutes, first time. I haven't tried the rain-fly yet.Again, I really like the size, being able to stand in a tent is really nice.What I didn't like was how the material felt a little thin. I actually tore a little 1/8th inch hole in the pole guide while barely pushing. This is not your grandpa's canvas tent! I just kept easing the pole through and working the fabric. I will also be getting a tarp for under the tent, as that is not as substantial as I would like it to be.Other than that, I really like it. I did think it was the tent with the hinged door, but that was my mistake. Besides, I'm not so lazy that I can't unzip a door...maybe.I am really looking forward to using this over the summer.
