The Meramac series tents are all free standing 2-pole designs with shock corded fiberglass or aluminum ferrules. The ferrules are the “connectors” that hold the poles together and we use aluminum, rather than steel, because aluminum can never rust. Our fiberglass poles are also normally one size larger than normal to offer you a sturdier, stronger tent. We use lightweight but strong polyester fabrics. The side walls are uncoated so the tent can “breathe” under the urethane coated fly. The fly uses a pole in the top, which gives you an awning over each door for excellent rain protection. Our fly is full length on the sides, not 3/4 length like some others, for better weather protection. We even have our factory seal the seams on the floor and fly for maximum water repellency. Entry and exit are enhanced with 2 doors, which means if you have to get out at night, you don’t need to crawl over the others to get to the only door. The second door is also nice for extra ventilation in hot, muggy weather. Our door zippers are a #8, which is one size larger than most, for extra durability. Mesh storage pockets and a gear loft are included to help you keep your gear organized.

Ideal Doghouse for a Broken Marriage I originally bought this tent because my wife of 14 years finally kicked me out of our house. At first I must admit I was really upset about not being able to sleep in my own bed or under my own roof. As I began setting up this tent underneath the highway overpass near our house, I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to put together, despite the fact that I was physically and emotionally devastated. It advertises it can sleep 4 people, but it was really only big enough to house myself,…
Not a “Backpacking” tent, but still nice. I was looking for a light weight tent that was small yet large enough to accomidate a cot. This tent fill the bill. It is much smaller when packed up than my previous tent, but this is not a backpacking tent by any stretch. I do love Alps products, and I feel this will hold up well. Used on six campouts so far with no complaints. One was rainy, with no leaks.
Great Casual Tent and useful features! This tent was very easy to setup the first time after only 1 read through the instructions. Fit 2 people plus a large dog, and all gear comfortably. One of my favorite features was the double doors, allowing 2 entry/exit paths – very convenient depending on where you end up sleeping. The stitching and overall construction is well-done, although I was expecting the floor to have been made with a thicker material. It seems that the floor and the walls all use the same material.
