Coleman 8-Person Instant Tent
Enjoy room for the whole family to spread out in the Coleman 8-Person Instant Tent. This camping tent is designed to set up in about a minute in three easy steps. Simply unfold the tent, extend the poles, and secure them. Stay dry thanks to the WeatherTec system that features thick waterproof walls and patented welded floors with inverted seams to help keep water out. Large screened windows and doors let you enjoy your view of the outdoors while keeping bugs out. This 8-person tent offers enough room for two queen size air beds and comes with a room divider to create some privacy.Tired of tents that promise a quick setup, but still have you puzzling over the shock-corded poles 10 minutes in? Turn to the Coleman eight-person Instant Tent, which assembles and collapses in one minute or less. 
The Coleman Instant Tent sets up and collapses in 1 minute or less. The secret to the tent’s seamless setup is the pole system, which comes pre-attached to the tent. As a result, assembly couldn’t be easier: just unfold the tent, spread it out, extend the poles, click them together, and lock them into place. Before you know it, you’ll have a full two-room tent that stands 14 by 10 feet, with a center height of 6 feet 5 inches.
Despite the tent’s versatility, it’s still as strong and weatherproof as ever, with Coleman’s exclusive WeatherTec system helping protect you from inclement weather and nasty storms. WeatherTec tents are built with a coated polyester fabric combined with anti-wicking thread, webbing, and zippers, all designed to keep you dry when the rain comes down. The tent’s welded waterproof floor and inverted floor seams, meanwhile, dramatically increase the water resistance by hiding the needle holes inside the tent and away from the elements. And campers will love the strong, wind-responsive frame, which includes redesigned poles and guy-out triangles that anchor the tents and increase performance. In fact, Coleman is so confident in its WeatherTec system that it exposes its WeatherTec tents to a rain room that simulates nasty downpours, and to a wind machine capable of blowing hurricane force gusts. The results? Even after the tests, Coleman guarantees its WeatherTec tents will keep you dry.
The tent’s exterior is tough and long-lasting, with heavy-duty 150D construction that’s twice as thick as Coleman’s standard tent fabric. When combined with the fully taped rain fly seams, the tent can even keep you dry without requiring a separate rain fly. The tent also offers ample room for sleeping or hanging out. Campers have their choice of sleeping in one large room with enough space for eight people, or dropping down the divider and turning the tent into a two-room palace. And hot nights will seem far more refreshing thanks to the two doors and seven windows, which provide terrific ventilation and 360-degree views. Other features include vertical walls that make it easy to stand and move about the tent, an interior gear pocket, reverse angle windows, and easy-to-follow instructions sewn into the durable carrying bag. The tent carries a limited one-year warranty.
The tent boasts a roomy interior with sleeping space for up to 8 people. Specifications: Center height: 6 feet 5 inches Base dimensions: 14 feet by 10 feet Doors: 2 Windows: 7 Body fabric: 150D polyester Country of origin: Made in China Warranty: Limited 1 year
About Coleman
More than 100 years ago, a young man with an entrepreneurial spirit and a better idea began manufacturing lanterns in Wichita, Kansas. His name was W.C. Coleman, and the company he founded would change life in America. A man plagued with such poor vision he sometimes had to ask classmates to read aloud to him, Coleman saw a brilliant light in 1900 in a drugstore window that stopped him in his tracks. He inquired about the light inside and discovered he was able to read even the small print on a medicine bottle by the illumination. The lamps had mantles, not wicks, and were fueled by gasoline under pressure instead of coal oil. Soon afterward, Coleman started a lighting service that offered a “no light, no pay” clause–a big step forward for merchants who were burned by inferior products that rarely worked–and drew substantial interest from businesses that wanted to keep their lights on after dark.
In the ensuing years, Coleman expanded its product line well beyond lanterns. The company’s current catalog is thick with products that make spending time outdoors a pleasure. There are coolers that keep food and drinks cold for days on end, comfortable airbeds that won’t deflate during the night, a complete line of LED lights that last for years, powerful portable grills that cook with an authentic open-grill flame, and much, much more. Coleman has truly fashioned much of our outdoor camping experience, and expects to do so for generations to come.

How lovely are your tents… We bought this tent in July in anticipation of our first camping trip in 5 years. To say my spouse is a reluctant camper is an understatement, so I did whatever I could think of (short of renting a furnished cottage) to make our week on the coast of Maine comfortable. I had been reading the comments about this tent for about a year before we decided for sure that we’d be camping this summer. Wish I’d gone for it in early summer, when Coleman was running a $20 rebate program! Oh, well…
Finally – a waterproof tent that really IS waterproof! I waited until we had a good rain to do my review of the Coleman instant 8 person tent. It sets up very easily – one athletic person could do it by themselves. My daughter and I had it up in under 2 minutes. The tie downs are fine – we used regular old tent stakes. We set it up in our back yard a day before rain was predicted because we wanted to test out how waterproof it is.Last evening and through the night we had a steady, soaking rain (about 14 hours total). Not a drop of rain made…
Great tent, would be worth 5 stars with one minor modification you can make yourself We got this tent this spring to replace an OLD Coleman external frame tent that used to leak on us like a seive, even when all we had was a heavy dew. Anyway, this tent has performed like a champ for the camping we did this summer.First of all, the plusses…and there are plenty:1) This tent is EASY to set up. The external frame and tent never come apart, so you don’t have a chance to lose anything. I have set the tent up on my own, but, frankly, it’s easier to set up…
