Glamping with EZ UP Camping Cube My Glamping Tent

[@jamiesmith1343]

a good solution for the awning is a pool noodle with pvc in it. Put in the middle and the water should run off the sides. You can also collect the water in buckets for bathing and dish washing.

[@shellybee9322]

I put them on the ropes near the ground too so folks don’t crash

[@stevepowsinger733]

Pool noodle with pvc. I don’t get it, short of a diagram.

[@jamiesmith1343]

@@stevepowsinger733 YOU PUT THE PVC PIPE INSIDE THE POOL NOODLE AND RUN IT ACROSS THE MIDDLE OF THE AWNING FROM SIDE TO SIDE. IT WILL RAISE IT ENOUGH TO LET THE WATER DRAIN OFF AND YOU CAN CATCH THAT WATER TO USE FOR WASHING. YOU WILL NEED A FEW POOL NOODLES TO ACCOMPLISH THIS. HOPE THIS WAS HELPFUL

Hubby here! After an initial skepticism about this whole project, when we went camping in Maine, I was impressed by the level of comfort and civility. It's not like the pup tent camping I did as a student for sure. The porch set up needs tweaking, and a simple central pole to divert the water might be the answer. Even though we've been married for 37 years, a privacy curtain for the toilet would be a good addition!

[@thepandemicdiva3369]

Your wish is my command. A privacy curtain it is! One can also use an outside shower tent as a room for the toilet.

[@thepandemicdiva3369]

@@JudiChristopher Hello Judi. Than you for reminding me that I needed to list the recommendations. The tent and canopy are two separate items and from two different companies. The tent is the EZ Cube 6.4. This one has straight sides. There is another EZ Cube. It is the 5.4 and is slightly smaller and the sides angle in. It is also a little cheaper. I prefer straight sides. Some people have gotten the 5.4 by mistake and tried to use it with a straight sided 10 x 10 Canopy. That won't work. So do some double checking to make sure you get a straight sided canopy for the straight sided EZ Tent and vice versa. I just posted all the links but If you don't find anything in the links, try googling the title of the item. Have fun.

Nice set up. For the awning, use an adjustable ten pole in the centre, but upside down. Push to pointed end into the ground and the other end with the plastic cap, (normally the bottom) pushed up into the middle the awning. Water sheds right off. Have been doing this for years with our dining tent.

Those hanging shoe holders like you’d hang on a closet rod or hang on your closet door are great for holding lots of odds and ends, like flashlights, lighters, keys, flip flops, etc. I have a 10x10 with the screen that i set up next to my 10x10 with the tent, so i have, in effect, a screened in porch too. All that is a lot to set up for a weekend, so i only use that configuration for a week long trip.

[@dontworrydehappy7104]

Hi! Great tent and great video! For your awning - 1. Try drilling a hole half way on each side bar, then attach a bungee cord between the bars to give more support hopefully keep t he material from sagging and filling up. 2. Another idea for the awning if needed - obtain a replacement sidewall panel in whatever color you like. Use velcro strips (they can come self adhesive, but you might need to sew them in) to attach the replacement panel to the inside edge of the canopy top. After that, either use stakes and guy lines to pull the panel away from the front and create a small shelter from the elements OR use tent poles and guy lines to prop the panel up like a regular tent shade. I should have mentioned that you'd do best to select a replacement panel that has grommets, or install some yourself. Grommets make tying to guy lines easier. Lol. ...or I'm sure somebody has already mentioned just lowering one side of the awning or using pool noodles. But why be simple when one can over engineer the heck out of it like I do! Lol. Good luck! 👍

[@robynconway1286]

Have one side of awning bit lower than the other .. tilted. And yeah collect the water. Ive seen a chain slung over an awning making a collection point for rain water. The long chain hangs over edge and down to a huge clay pot. Water travels along the chain and down like a waterfall ending up in pot which of course overflows and can be channeled with a shovelled out drain. I like your tent. The blue gingham table cover is sweet.

Back in the early 90's I bought a 10x10 straight leg canopy. They store also had a tent that hung inside the canopy that was made by Standing Room Tents. I still have it and when I go camping with my friends they all call it my camping mansion. It's nice to not have to crawl on my hands and knees to get in and out of my tent. I have my cot, a table and chair, With a battery operated fan hanging from the center. Until recently I hadn't heard the term Glamping, but I guess that's what I've been doing for the last thirty years.

[@thepandemicdiva3369]

So glad it helped your decision. It took me forever to decide and I'm glad I chose this. One point - The ABC canopy. I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to handle the set-up on my own including getting it in and out fo the car. It is heavy but worth it as it is solid. I am a small senior and not very strong. I managed to do it with some ingenuity. I did make a video on how to set it up if needed. I also got the canopy with the extra closed in sides to add in case of strong rain or cold because the price was really good. I have yet to use them. A simple extended pole in the center of the awning (if you get the awning) would stop the rain from puddling. Happy Glamping!

[@iasimovscientist4981]

@@thepandemicdiva3369 I just reread this. I’m still recovering from the Texas freeze, have ordered your setup (I think). I’m confused re: the extra closed in sides. I wish to store stuff inside before using for camping while repairing house (or stay in while work being done). Does the xtra sides drape over frame? Same brand as the frame? What do you think? It would be long term set up(even while camping😉). Thanks

I understand having a rug but why white? When you're camping you're gonna always have dirt on you unless you are camping in an open grass field. White is extremely prone to dirt.

[@thepandemicdiva3369]

So true, but I take off my shoes when coming into the tent. I just happened to have that white rug and when I put it in the tent it really brightened it up. I also thought it was a bit comical for camping but promoted the idea of "glamping". On the practical side the rug is very light, rolls up into almost nothing and can be thrown in the washing machine.

[@riograndelily8344]

First thing I thought of when I saw the cot was snakes or mice under the bed. Moth balls is a great solution. Will not harm but the smell will keep them away. Mint too

[@nicoleperron3315]

Where I camp you leave toothpaste or gum in your tent you'll have a whole family of racoons chewing through your tent and moving in faster than you can blink. All food in a locked car, they open car doors too, or a latched container, same for garbage or clothes that have had food spilt on them. No problem with snakes or mice here , mainly raccoons.
