Treat your large family to a weekend outdoors?load the spacious Big Agnes Big House 6-Person Tent into your vehicle and head to the campground. This large three-season tent is easy to set up because Big Agnes color-coded the tent poles that slide through sleeves and quickly clip onto the main body of the tent. Attach the rain fly with buckles to stay dry during the storm. Watch raindrops hit the fly's skylight and, when the storm subsides and the sun peeks out, throw open the storm flap to let air come in through the mesh door. This tent has a high ceiling, so you can stand up inside. Mesh floor-level pockets allow family members to store water bottles, headlamps, reading material, and games inside the spacious Big House Tent. This tent packs as easily as it sets up into a briefcase-style carrying bag.

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.

It's easy to find the specs for the tent if you apply yourself. I'm thinking very seriously about purchasing this tent. The aluminum poles and the tub bottom are two key features I must have in a tent.

In the business of selling tents, one would think an essential bit of info to provide potential customers are the basic specs of the product. What are the floor dimensions, the maximum height, how many doors and windows, etc? But all Amazon tells us is the shipping weight. If you want more info, they refer you to a bit of fluff written by Big Agnes, which doesn't even mention Big House, and instead talks about an entirely different tent. Amazon also refers its customers to Big House accessories which should include the vestibule and the footprint, but what we get for an accessory is an unnamed Eureka family tent. Perhaps they're thinking of using that as a vestibule or a footprint. Who knows?
I gave the tent five stars because I've done a great deal of research and will probably buy one, and certainly it's not Big Agnes' fault Amazon is so confused. For all the specs and a much cheaper price, see Campmor, or for $359 campsaver.com will sell you the tent plus throw in a $55.00 footprint, and give you free shipping. Or for the same price as Amazon (plus sales tax), you can pick one up at REI and get a life-time guarantee.
Good luck!

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.
