Coleman Cabin Tent: Coleman 13 x 13 Back Home Instant Shelter Review

Average Reviews:
3.5 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)I have been looking for a large size canopy for some time. Tried another brand last year. It didn't make it through the summer due to water pooling issues and the inevitable frame collapse. The
Coleman seems to fit the bill. I use this shelter primarily for camping. Setup is fairly easy and quick. Shelter size is very good (placed over a large picnic table with room for a grill and room to cook)and the 10 by 10 footprint is great for narrow areas. Frame seems much sturdier than canopies I've had in the past.The shelter seems very stable but would probably use the supplied tie downs in windy conditions. No problems with water pooling or leaks. Rolling bag seems to be well made and has an expander to aid in getting everything back in (wish they had put a pocket on the outside for the canopy). I was pleasantly surprised by the small size of the bag and the weight of the unit. Coleman has a winner here.

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.
