Gazelle Tents 21500 G6 Pop-Up Portable 6-Sided Hub Gazebo/Screen Tent, Dessert Sand, Easy Instant Set Up in 60 Seconds

We purchased the Gazelle last year as a compliment to our teardrop trailer. After using it on many trips we couldn’t be happier with it! The Gazelle literally can be put up in two minutes. The first few times, it may take longer, but once familiar with it, it’s a piece of cake. We travel with two dogs, and with the Gazelle, we can have them out of the car and in a safe environment in a jiffy, so we can continue to set up camp. It is also a nice dry place to keep gear. It does help that my husband is 6’5”... so popping up the middle & taking it down again is easy for him. (They really should have a pull down handle for center of roof for shorter folks). As far as the reviews about it being built inside out, etc... I believe that is user error, not manufacturer. If you do not pay attention when starting the set up, it would be easy to accidentally set it up inside out. Just make sure the side with no seams is showing when you unfurl the wings. If you do this... it is fool proof. We also highly recommend buying the rain flaps. They add privacy and protection from the elements, as needed. Only negative, as others have mentioned, it can be HOT inside. Mesh does not allow for airflow. A portable fan helps. But I would not leave my dogs in there on a sunny warm day. However, the protection from wind does make it a lovely shelter in cool weather. It’s a remarkable addition to our camping setup and I would purchase it again in a heartbeat.

This gazebo saved our camping trip!!! Three of us popped it open in under a minute, placed it over our picnic table and proceeded to fill it with our camping gear for 6 people, minutes before a huge rain storm hit. It's extremely well made and water-proof. I am going to see about purchasing wall panels for 4 sides so that when a driving rain hits we will be protected. We easily secured a tarp on one side which kept the rain from coming in the sides. The ceiling is nice and high and we were pleasantly surprised by a 6 inch lip on the bottom which kept the bugs out. When we zipped the doors shut it was truly bug proof as well. I haven't had such a great experience with a superior product in such a long time - this one delivered beyond my expectations. It's ease of assembly, durability and pleasing look will ensure that we bring it with us on every single camping trip from now on!

I am really pleased with the Gazelle pop-up screen tent. It was easy to put together and I was able to set it up by myself. My height (5'6") was a little bit of an issue when I tried to pop the cover up so I had to use a broom handle to push it up. The screens are strong and keep the skeeters out. Unfortunately, the first night I put it up we had a huge windstorm here in New Mexico. And I hadn't used the ground stakes. But it blew across the yard into a trellis and hardly got a scrape. It's such a great tent that I would have probably bought a replacement if I had needed to. I like it that much and highly recommend this!!

Pros: Very roomy inside and it looks great (note: this appears white online on all the digital screens I brought it up on, but out of the box it is an attractive tan - I did compare the model numbers and according to the model number, this does match up). It assembled quickly and easily (although I did have the advantage of having viewed a couple different videos prior to purchasing so I knew how to properly unfold it). The side panels pop right out as easily as the videos make it appear. The included carry bag is big enough that you don't spend a lot of time packing it back up and worrying that fabric could get caught in the zipper. Cons: This is a large man's idea of portable (this is the only reason I give 4 stars instead of 5). This is heavy to carry, one end of the bag is bulkier/heavier than the other, and it is very long which makes it challenging to maneuver if walking any distance with it. I knew from watching a video of the assembly (not the one currently posted here) that it is approximately the height of a 6 ft. tall man. This long "packed up in bag" length is going to make it a real challenge to take somewhere. It will either have to be strapped to a roof, or put lengthwise in the back of an SUV with seat sections in the down position. If attempting to put the length into the trunk of a car/SUV width-wise (as I wish we could do), it is too long. Also, I'm too short to be able to reach the center hub to pull it down and disassemble the gazebo on my own. Someone suggested that if traveling alone, a shorter person could tie a rope to dangle down a bit there to grab from (which is a great solution). This difference in the definition of portability is the only reason I give 4 stars instead of 5. I'm looking forward to taking it out and using it. Seems very sturdy.

I've owned this tent for a year and a half now. Confused by those who say it's not easy to set up. Really all you have to do is pull out the sides which pop into place, and then push the roof up. One reviewer said they couldn't get it and set it up upside down and inside out - impossible. I mean really? You couldn't tell you were standing on the roof and the top was wide open? This thing goes up in about one minute and then you simply stake it down. If you can't set this tent up then you're better suited staying in the house watching TV. My only wish for this tent is that the mesh is so tight it doesn't let the breeze flow through, which is only a downside on really hot days. If you are looking for a quality tent for a bargain price - this tent is it!

Yes it’s true, once you put it up a few times takes less than a minute pop up. You start with the sides than go inside to pop up the ceiling. Opposite way when taking down. However when staking it down either at the bottom flaps and/or using ropes at the side loops it takes much longer. Have not used it in strong winds so cannot comment on how well it stays up. We also bought 6 panels that you purchase separately which I highly recommend for when it rains. The rain does not come in but since there is no flap covering the panels at the top the rain runs down the side screens. The panels just hook on each corner at the top and Velcro’ down the sides. In one picture I added it shows different ways you can fold panels attached to the side. As others have commented it is very warm inside especially in full sun but that goes with any tent. We also purchased heavier stakes instead of using the ones included. All in all it keeps the bugs out, well built with a heavy zipper, easy to put up, adds privacy to your campsite and gets lots of notice from other campers. I would recommend purchasing.

Very well built, a little difficult to setup when they are first opened. Take down is very simple and fast. I am changing my review after using the tent for the summer. I like the concept of the tent but mine will not stay up on its own. There is too much pressure on on side of the wall and the tent collapses on itself. After numerous calls and emails to customer support to try to fix the situation it remains the same. I would probably look at a different maker of this style of tent next time.

I set it up today and after a quick look at the instructions, it was rather easy. The seams seem well enforced. I was going to skip putting guide ropes but the wind collapsed one side. I used 8 & 10 in spikes to anchor it. As the saying goes - there's no kill like over kill. I bought another bug tent last year by Woods and it didn't last 30 days. Not sure exactly when I wrote this but it's now June 10th and everything is still a-okay. No regrets buying this at all. July 3rd. This has been thru quite a bit of wind and looks like the day I put it up. Another good point is the storm flap on the base is one piece. Some bugs do get thru but my bug zapper racquet makes short work of them.

Just received this yesterday. Easy set up for sure, portability is excellent. We had a big storm unexpectedly go through after the setup, the sides were secured with the ropes and held up very well. The only drawback is that the wind lifted the top in a way that it collapsed down with each gust of wind. Too bad there is not a lock on it or someway to secure it the way we do the sides, to prevent this from happening. So we rigged up a secure centre pole to keep the roof from collapsing in the storm....otherwise this tent held up extremely well.

very fast and simple to assemble once you get the hang of it. I recommend getting the additional side panels (at least 3) for privacy and shade. It takes up very little space and easy to carry. Its a great product and many campers have asked me where they can purchase one.
