If you intend on using in the wind buy something else. Left this shade erected in windy conditions pegged down and secured thought it would be ok . Got up the next morning and the frame and guy ropes were solid as a rock, except the cover was torn to pieces. Not impressed!

Tentworld ResponseSorry to hear of the damage to your Event 14. What you've described sounds really strange. I myself, and several of my friends own Event 14s and we have had our Event 14s go through some seriously cyclonic conditions. They do need to be fully pegged out, and the legs positioned correctly in order to endure these conditions and be pushed to the limits. They will also need attendance during the night to stop any flapping (if you hear flapping, it is causing great damage). It will probably mean not the best nights sleep in these situations, but it does mean your camping gear will survive the night. Ideally, they should be packed away in extreme conditions. So what has happened to your Event 14 is strange. Please take pictures of what's happened and email them through so we can investigate what happened here. Kind Regards & Happy Camping ~ Tentworld team.

I ordered on Monday and received it in Sydney on Thursday. The product itself is very well put together and good quality. We are very happy with the purchase and delivery time

A bit difficult to set up on the first go but worth the effort. Very good value for money.

Put ours up over the pool on 13 Jan. Has since disintegrated in the sun and ripped apart, only got 6 weeks out of it! Thought it would be more durable for soy Australian conditions

Tentworld ResponseThanks for your review! These Event 14s do make great temporary pool covers, but they're not meant to be left up as permanent structures for months on end. Unfortunately the UV rays are so strong here that all materials will fail from constant exposure. The Event 14 is designed to be a portable structure, so ensuring the material is lightweight, foldable and affordable are key factors. Coleman are also aware that our customers are wanting a product that will last them for a reasonable amount of time but there is a balancing act between portability, and durability which is always a fine balance. For a permanent structure, these criteria are not as important and then focus can be shifted on pure durability. For a good permanent pool cover you should look elsewhere. Fortunately, you can buy replacement covers for the Event 14 so if your pole frame is in good condition, you can replace the cover and keep enjoying! I hope this helps. Kind Regards & Happy Camping ~ Tentworld team.

I like the sturdy frame of this shelter and the size is excellent. However I find the fly is not thick enough and the shelter can still get a bit warm in the middle of summer. Is the delux fly compatible with standard frame?

Tentworld ResponseGlad you like your new Event 14 Shelter! The frame for the Event 14 Standard and Event 14 Deluxe are identical, the only difference between the two models is the cover. The Deluxe Cover is much more water resistant, and is made from higher quality materials... The Deluxe Fly is 150D/185T vs 75D/185T so the Deluxe will last longer, but as far as shedding heat, there is not that much difference. Unfortunately with any thin material, it will radiate heat pretty quickly after pitching if it's in the direct sun. The only way to cool down is to try maximize ventilation. You could try lining the roof with insulation, but I have never seen that done and it is pretty bulky stuff. I hope you find this info helpful! Kind Regards, Tentworld team.

This is an excellent product. We set it up in the backyard to give us shelter on very hot days. The frame is easy to assemble, however we chose to leave it in place when removing the canopy (on very windy days) saving time with the next assembling. The canopy is not designed to withstand hurricanes, but it behaved well even caught in a storm. The light weight material looks very durable, but the straps can stress it if they are too tight. Some advice on best practice using this product added to Coleman's set-up instructions would be welcome; such as maximum hours / days of continuous use recommended ? How many times can be assembled/ disassembled before weakening the canopy or the poles? This would help getting the most out of it for the users. I must mention Tentworld's excellent Client Support! I had some questions and got very fast and professional replies. Buyers can rest assured that they get all the help, should anything go wrong with their purchase.

Great once it’s up. Has lots of poles to put together. I would not recommend for every camping trip. Takes a while to construct. We have it over the pool and it’s fantastic

Tentworld ResponseGlad you're enjoying! Thanks for your review! A few more runs at putting it up and you'll find it goes up like a dream. Yes, more than a gazebo but easy for two who know what they're doing. Worth the extra effort for the smaller pack size we think! Kind Regards & Happy Camping ~ Tentworld team.

Extremely thin and flimsy. Blew to pieces and the poles bent easily in the first sign of wind. Extremely disappointed.

Tentworld ResponseSorry to hear of the problems you've had with your Event 14. Something seems strange here. We've sold this exact model Event 14 for over 10 years now. The design, and strength of this structure is incredible given its portable nature. Many of the Tentworld team own them, and I personally can attest to their strength and have used it on extremely windy days on Bribie Island, Stradbroke Island and many other places ~ I've had mine for over 4 years now. If however, you were to pitch it and not peg it out at all. It would definitely be vulnerable to wind. You must peg out the feet in their correct position, and you must peg all guy ropes. This is only 12 pegs, but these pegs add LOTS of structure to the Event 14. If you ensure you peg it out, and use the appropriate pegs for where you're going then you'll definitely find this Event 14 to be amazing! If you did all this and it still did not fair well, perhaps there is a manufacturing fault in it? If you can send pictures through of the damage and your receipt number we can investigate this for you. If you did not peg it out, it's not all bad news we do have access to some spares for this so we may be able to help you repair your Event 14 economically and get you going with it again. Hope this helps, Kind Regards & Happy Camping ~ Jon - Tentworld.
