I'm 13, my dad just got this tent and i can't figure it out, i've read the instructions and everything. i put it up but didn't pull the hub down and while i was putting the rain fly over it, it collapsed.

i finally got it set up again and pulled the hub down, got it set up and the front two poles fell, pushed them up but they sag inward a little and the corners are sagged inward also because of them but it is standing i also had trouble at first because I'm 5'2 and could not reach the hub so i had to stand inside it and un-zip the roof to get it up

Any advice or tips on the sagging?.

"I love the tents I bought two. Got tired of the putting tent poles together in 25mph winds and rain, with two kids. I found these tent 3 years ago at kmart. I had one of them get picked up the wind in process of taking it down.

It got some tears in it."

"One of the tiny plastic pins in the top piece broke the first time the tent was used, and one of the six legs came loose. Can I buy a replacement part? Where?"

"GOOD NEWS -- FIRST-UP TENT IS BACK AT K-MART!!

Saw these "hex dome" "First Up" tents reincarnated as "Mac Kenzie Peak" at Oregon K-marts. Same tent with the first-up mechanism that makes setting up a breeze.

Price is $99. A real sleeper (no pun intended) tent design."

"Overall, this is the best tent that I have owned for base style camping. Not only can you get the tent up in under 60 seconds, you can also depend on it in torrential weather. During a Scout campout, my son and I went through an 8 hour downpour with winds gusting to 50 mph and only had a few drops get into the tent."

"I'm a 59 year old woman who goes camping alone. This tent is perfect for me. Easy to put up and roomy without all the "rooms". I like open and large tents.

I went camping at Yellowstone last year and someone tried to steal my tent! In the process, they completely destroyed it! A witness saw the guy but the rangers never found him."

"I attend the Creationfest for the past 6 years. My first year, I went alone, and needed help getting the tent up. This First Up is exactly what it says. My tent is the first one up. If you are a complete idiot, it might take you 7 minutes to get it up."

"I have had my first up for five years now and everyone keeps asking me where I got I told them K-mart. But no one can find one. The person who had the poles break must not have read the instructions. Mine has been out in storms and has never failed me."

"Found it so convenient, goes up in a couple of minutes. Used it on a cross-country trip, never a problem, would recommend it highly. In fact, looking to buy another, can't find a retailer that carries it, anyone know where? Bought the last one at K-mart."

"The plastic pegs that hold the top of the rods in place broke the first weekend I had it set up. 3 out of 6 rods broke free and tent collapsed. The plastic pegs are too brittle. This was outdoors in the rain and wind.

Maybe if you set it up in your living room it would survive.
