4.0 out of 5 stars
Good tent for car camping,
PROS: Relatively easy set up, 90 sq. ft. of interior space, height of the tent allows everyone to stand up inside, nice duffel to store and carry the tent, large optional vestibule for cooking and storing gear(64 st. ft.!), 12 all-around mesh pockets inside the tent to stow away everything, mesh around the entire perimeter and top of the tent - fly can also be folded up half way for 360 degree views with weather protection of the fly for top 2/3 of the tent, skylight for star gazing even with the fly on.
CONS: Pole for back awning is difficult to insert into the grommets - we had to aggressively bend ours to fit! No full fly for front and back doors so we are concerned about water leakage in a heavy storm. Only provided 4 guylines even though we need at least 2 more to properly stake down the fly. (We can obviously buy more guylines but it's still annoying that Big Agnes would skimp on guylines!) WISH LIST (Hope you are listening, Big Agnes): "Zip-offable" vestibules for the front and the back doors. This will provide the added weather protection but also allow for more ventilation when no vestibule is needed. (We bought the optional vestibule which attaches to the front door but the back door is still exposed.) BOTTOM LINE: The Big House 6 is a great tent for our family of four for mostly warm weather car camping. We can fit a pack 'n play and 3 sleeping bags in the tent without any problems. The abundance of mesh on the tent body is great for warm weather camping and beach going. (The tent is airy and open enough to use as a beach cabana.) On the other hand, with the abundance of mesh, the tent may be too chilly for true 3 season camping. Thus, it is an excellent tent for car camping during warm weather where comfort and ease of set-up are your key criteria in selecting a family tent.

Big Agnes 6,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Big Agnes Big House - 6 Person Tent (Sports)
We purchased our Big Agnes tent just prior to our 3+ week Maritime Province trip. The trip gave us opportunites to see how well the tent would perform in a variety of environments. First of all I should say it was difficult to find one available as everyone had them backordered. Even though only two of us would use the tent, we chose to get the 6 over the 4 for the extra space. The tent very easily accommodated our queen sized air matress and still gave us very adequate room to move around and store materials in. The tent is very easy to set up and take down and we had to do that several times in rainy conditions. Initially the tent had some small leaks so I taped all the seams on the fly and it has been dry ever since. I agree with several of the reviews that the fly should be taped from the factory and should also include the four lower fly tie down cords which I fabricated prior to leaving on vacation. The tent stores very easily in its bag. It does take some time to get the air out of the tent when you need to take it down quickly and we did have both the front and rear screens open. The tent ventilates very well is easly noticed in a campground! We would strongly recommend the tent and purchased it only after reading many positive reviews. We hope it will give us many years of wonderful service.
