This tent is designed for portability. It features an innovative central hub design that makes it a snap to set up. 1.25" diameter octagon legs constructed of 0.8mm anodized aluminum. Canopy is constructed of durable, weather-resistant 600 denier polyester. Central hub makes setup fast and easy. Hybrid construction with aluminum legs and steel truss. Easy-Glide Tent Feet (US Patent #D760857) allow the tent frame to slide on dirt and grass, preventing the legs from catching. The included soft case slides over the frame when it's full collapsed. The tent can be secured to the ground with the included stake kit. Frame must be secured to the ground to prevent wind damage (failure to secure the tent voids the warranty).
