Great product for use in the field. You have to have 2 people to set it up or it gets a little difficult. It held up to high winds and worked great as a shower, but shower bag hangs low and you have to squat while showering.

I am very sorry I purchased this product. the tent employs 2 static fiberglass poles to support the roof. I have gone through 3 sets of poles. all snapped within 24 hrs of installation's. Now have an unsellable tent unless you are 3 foot tall.

This thing is exactly as the name implies. It takes two people to set up and generally looks nice and is functional. On the 2nd camping trip (4th day of use) both fiberglass poles snapped. One tore through the rainfly. Their customer service number is there to sell you more things and the website requires a credit card to return it. In other words, you must trust them to not charge your ccard and accept a warranty claim. I'm writing it off as a loss (I purchased it for about $35) or I will repair it myself.

So very frustrating thinking that this would be the coolest thing to have for camping.. As written in other reviews, the fiberglass poles SNAP!

Don't waste your money on the Stinky Pete Gigatent!

all i can say is that iv used one for 3 long camping trips and had no problem what so ever , i broke on the fiber glass poles and had no problem getting it replaced from gigatent , customer service is great !!!!!!!!! thay have also improved on the structure .

I purchased this item to augment our small camping trailer that does not have a bathroom. It does take two people to set-up but goes up easily and quickly. The one time I used it, I put my porta-potty in it and it worked great (especially in the night when I get up). I hope to be able to use it as a shower room as well. However, the top poles are very tight and one broke, from bending it to fit into the corner pieces, the second time it was put up. I think we can replace it pretty easily but haven't tried yet. It is a sharp curve across the top from one corner to the other. Even so, I would highly recommend the product. Next time, I am going to try to set it up without staking it to the ground first. That may have been where we went wrong and caused the pole to break.

Shower worked great. Make sure u use the cover for extra stability. Doesnt hold a full 5 gal shower bag. Definetly need more than one person for set up.

This product is certainly one of the more affordable shower/toilet tents and there are reasons why this is so. While the set-up instructions are simple enough, the fiberglass poles seem to be more plastic than fiberglass--they will not bend easily and as noted in other reviews, are prone to break at the slightest pressure. Also, these poles do not fit securely into the hubs to insert into the steel poles. You will notice these design flaws immediately when assembling the product. We decided to return the item before breaking it and will now look for something more sturdy or find a secluded place in the woods to do our business.

It was easy enought to put up, but one of the fiberglass polls split, I called the company and by the time I found the paperwork they needed Sanitation Equipment Visa 268 Deluxe Portable Toiletand faxed it to them, it took about 1 week to receive not only one but two polls at no charge. I will not be using the tent before 08-2009, but I give it 100% so far!

When I ordered the product, the dimensions stated it was 87 inches high. We puchased an 87 inch portable showerto fit into the tent. When we received it, the ht. was 84 inces. Because we needed this the next day after delivery, we had to cut the top, purchase cinder blockes to raise it off the patio deck, drill holes, and had to rig it up so it wouldn't blow away. THE ADD SAiD IT WAS 87 inches. I feel we were deceived by the add into purchasing a product we thought we were getting. Now we have a torn and buckled item. Very discouraging.
