Do the poles used to set up this tent poke through the fabric?

No, not at all. Considering that my son-in-law and grandsons are rough males the fabric is very strong.
1388632
No. You insert the poles through an opening at the sides of the tent and on top of of the tent you tie the poles with a ribbon that is already attached to it. It is really a good tent. It is easy to assemble. I would say it's the best tent for its price!

I haven't seen it as we sent it to our grandson in NY. I called and asked my son this question and he said yes, one pole poked through at the bottom of the fabric but he thought it was no big deal. They do put it up and take it down a lot as it is much bigger than one would think by the dimensions. That probably is why the pole poked through. I think if you had a place large enough to keep it up that that wouldn't happen. This is strictly an indoor play tent.

You thread them through an opening in the fabric but they don't poke through fabric. The beginning and ends of the poles can be seen. Hope that answers question.

As you must ready know the poles go through the top of the tent. There is no cover for this with the tent when I bought it. If you are concerned about a leak through the pole holes all I can say is when I have used it it didn't leak.

No. The tent is made to be light and portable. For use just for dog shows or indoors for a few hours. None of the fabric tents would hold up long in the weather.

Nope. Just the tent fabric and poles. If you're dog is a chewer, then this will be fair game.

Yes, it is LITERALLY a ONE touch tent, like it is called! It sets up with no threading of poles at all. It is crazy how easy it is! Extremely well designed. It is also very durable. I have 3 kids and we take it up and down all the time...it still looks brand new. I have 3 siblings with kids also and we all have one. All of us love it! I've been to a lot of homes for playdates and I've never seen a play tent that is better!

No there were no poles along the bottom of the tent. The tent is very well made and pretty easy to put up. Hope that helps.

Yes, and I'm using it right now in the mountains. Set it up by myself! For the second time. Insert the pins already attached to the tent, into the poles. Put in one pole bend then second pole bend, p/u, and then place the third.

No. The tent does have a relatively tough floor but if using a second waterproof material consider using a light weight tarp or poly and cutting it slightly smaller than the tent floor or use it inside turned slightly up on the sides.

There are many poles in this tent and some are bent very specific to the tent. I thin k your only chance to be whole again is to get the factory parts. Below is the link:http://www.coleman.com/Parts/1520/cabin/2000004666/elitereg-weathermastertrade-screened-6-tent

Four pegs hold the corners of the floor stretched out. A rope goes through the top, holding it up. The tent must be placed between two trees or posts (like a hammock). The Iincluded pegs are weak steel wire, suggest buying set of real tent pegs. Also the tent is designed to keep you warm, but in extreme heat I believe it can be turned inside out to reflect heat away.

The metal poles are thin gauge, similar to electrical conduit, so they are lightweight. I've had mine up for several months in Arizona sun with no problems whatsoever. I contacted the seller to make sure a replacement canopy was available, and it is. I plan on purchasing a spare canopy to put away for a rainy day. The embedded fibers make any ripping unlikely, I'm just leery of UV damage.

Sorry I dont know where our instructions are now. But the only thing the poles slip into are the "pockets" at top & bottom of tent, on the inside (theyre not completly hidden inside a sleeve) ties at the seam of the wall and ceiling, fit very snug against wall. Poles "snap" into themselves, giving you 4 individually poles. I sat inside myself and assembled poles and did one at a time inserting into pockets, than tied them off after all were in. Sorry, hope this helps..

You have to use the stakes. this is not a free standing tent with fiberglass poles.

Since these are not "commercial grade", and the cost to use the tent once, could compare to the cost of a rental tent..., I suggest you consider buying a new tent. I used the tent quite a few times, but one very stormy day, and the poles bent. Buying replacement poles will be much more work, and the poles may not be a perfect match to the tent canopy. Good luck, I hope this helps.

The tent holds up the poles and vice versa. The framework is a bit wobbly without the tent but you could probably use the guide wires to make it work. I have not tried it though.

Yes. Only the front is complete mesh, the sides are partial. There is no airflow through this tent.

Sorry I don't know. The tent was so poorly made the poles snapped dring setup and I returned it. I would suggest getting a different tent
