- How long does the Baboom pop-up tent take to set up?
- It springs open in seconds once unstrapped. Most people spend longer staking it out and guying it than pitching it.
- Does it really sleep 8 people?
- It fits 8 sleeping bags side by side, but that leaves little floor space for gear. For comfortable camping with bags and duffels, plan on 4 to 6 people.
- Is it good in rain and wind?
- It handles light rain and calm nights. The thin polyester and pop-up frame are not built for storms, so avoid exposed sites in high wind.
- How do I pack it back into the bag?
- Fold the frame into a figure-eight, then a circle, and press the hub down. It takes practice, and the folded disc is large, so check your trunk space.
- Is it freestanding?
- Yes, the dome holds its shape on its own. Stake it down anyway, because a light pop-up tent can shift or roll in wind.
- Where is the Baboom Camping Tent Polyester 8-Person BOM-OP70858-CO cheapest?
- At Lowe's, for $229.50, as of our latest check.
