What is this tent made out of? Does it have any kind of smell (plastic, chemical, etc) when you open the package?

Anna, I am not exactly sure what it is made of but it appeared to be the normal nylon tent material - if that helps. My kids were definitely shaded from the sun under it. I did not notice any odor, but we opened and used it outside where I probably would not have notice anything anyway.

Just like the others said, it's a typical nylon kids tent, no smell, works awesome! Used it in Jamaica, was perfect to shade my daughter and she could still play in the sand and on very windy days it held up fantastic with just putting sand in the bottom pockets- very pleased with this tent.

It's very light nylon. There's no smell of chemical. It's quite a good little tent. It's windy here so the pockets on the bottom sides are quite useful - fill with sand to keep from blowing over. There's no floor - it's just for shade and quite small - only kid sized. We got it for our infant to sleep in and keep out of the sun at the beach.

I can't recall any particularly offending smell at all. I would imagine that immediately after opening it might have smelled of new synthetic fabric (pretty much camping tent like) but because it really open and well ventilated I can't remember smelling a thing while we were using it and gosh we loved it :)

No, this tent does not have any added chemicals used in retardants. It is flame resistant.

Not at all. It smells like plastic when you first open it but no smell. I keep mine outside on the porch patio

I think initially it has a plastic-y smell when I first opened it but I haven't notice a chemical smell since. Been using it for a while now, it is in the dog bowl outside. Sorry I'm not going to sniff it

A slight but normal plastic smell when you first open it up but after my first use it was already lessen. Hope I was helpful

Definitely plastic with an awful smell from the manufacturing process. It's taken a few months of sitting in the garage to let the odor die down. Now I have it indoors. Would prefer rubber as opposed to the plastic.

I don't recall a plastic smell but we also use scentsy burners in the house so that could have hidden the smell...

Nope no smell. My daughter wore it all summer to camp. It did not attract bugs, it kept her safe from the sun. No scent and no odor. Good luck.

I don't recall a lingering chemical smell. When I first opened it, of course it had a plastic smell. But after, wiping it down and putting a cover on it, I didn't notice any smell. I have had it about a year now with absolutely no issues. Great purchase!

Ours had no odor. Just the plastic-type smell maybe the first day after unwrapping it. It's very functional and I've recieved lots of compliments

I think it's made of squirrels hair. I ordered it a month ago and I love it. No smell at all.

It didn't smell at all. I forget what it is made of but if you google the brand it will explain and show you what's inside. I am so happy with it!

I'm sorry, I wish I could help, and answer your question. I bought this tent as a gift for a friend and i do not know anything about it specifically. I do not think he has had a chance to open it and use it yet. If I do get any feedback from him about it, I will post it on Amazon. I'm sorry that I can't help you out. I know I would like to know all I could about something before I bought it, too.
