Great service and everything on time all delivered in 2 days and very happy with products. The coleman sundome 4 has a power cord vent to allow easy access for an electrical extension. Made to Order Items – Some products will indicate that they are “Made to Order” – these are made to order by our supplier and, as such, can take longer to be dispatched. If you require a more accurate timeframe for a made to order item, please contact us before ordering. The patented keepsake pouches always came in handy for car keys and wallets in the past. First, let’s do a quick overview of both of these tents, so you know what both models offer at the core.
Long story short, if you do decide to go with the Sundome, just be sure to have a pole patch kit available. The low wide profile and included coleman ice chest guylines hold up well in the wind, and the tent floor has a tub design. As long as you can avoid a tear or puncture, you should stay dry.
The Sundome’s quick pitch time, compact pack size and light weight make this a great tent for weekend breaks and touring camping. The 4 is a quick and easy to pitch 4 person dome tent – get this tent pitched and ready to camp in 5 minutes. In no time at all (less then ten minutes actually), the Coleman camping tent was standing and ready to go in our back yard.
The downside, the poles that support it are made of what appears to be a fiberglass material that with age have started to disintegrate. Around the globe, memory cafes — virtual and in-person gatherings people who are living with dementia and their caregivers — are growing more popular…. There’s no included footprint with this tent, and we’d recommend purchasing a 10’x10’ footprint, which you’ll need to find from a third-party supplier since Coleman does not make one. Alternatively, you can save a few bucks by opting for a tarp, which can also be cut to size if the measurements aren’t a perfect fit.
This may not seem like a big issue as your car likely will be parked nearby, but we appreciate a good vestibule and it’s an unfortunate omission here. Are you struggling to decide between the Coleman Sundome and Skydome tents? This comprehensive guide will break down the differences between these two fantastically popular camping tents to help you decide which is best for your next outdoor adventure. We’ll begin which a quick look at each tent’s key features and capabilities.
The pole that holds up the rainfly offers very little protection from the rain outside the tent, really only enough to keep it from getting inside the door. The interior of the Sundome 6 measures 10’x10’ (100sqft) with a peak height of 6’ in the center. As a result, the headroom drops off dramatically if you’re standing anywhere but in the center of the tent.
The inside corner seams are taped with what looks to be really flimsy version of duct tape that was already peeling up at the corners. While I have yet to sleep in this tent, I was able to pitch it several times and get a feel for the overall quality and functionality. Plan B was to set the tent up on the BSA summer camp standard issue wood platforms covered by an old canvas tent. That plan was ultimately thwarted by all the missing slats in the most level platform I could find.
Additionally, both tents have multiple windows that can be opened/closed as needed allowing plenty of air circulation throughout the tent while keeping bugs out. With the larger Skydome tents, you’ll be able to get larger inflatable mattresses inside, such as the Enerplex self-inflating mattress. Worth considering if you like to camp with a little extra luxury. With two people there is enough room to set up a queen size inflatable mattress, and still have room for extra gear you may want to store in the tent with you. There is a mesh gear pocket to store things like you wallet and phone in to keep them off the ground.
