Alvantor Pop Up Bubble Tent - 12’ x 12’

Just received it a few days ago. It is exactly as large as we wanted/expected, is straightforward and easy to put up and take down with two people (I imagine it would be bukly and harder with just one). We set it up on a sunny 70+ degree day and it was sweltering inside. Definitely will benefit from sun shades (which we did purchase and set up as well and they clearly help) but we bought it predominantly for the fall, winter, and early spring. I think the "greenhouse effect" it clearly has will be exceedingly beneficial in keeping things warm inside even when far too cold for comfort outside. This looks like a winner! Hope to update this after several uses when the weather turns colder - and especially during/after a snowfall. Thank you! Updated December 31, 2020: After using it during the winter I can update my initial post. While I am not convinced that this would be ideal for deep cold weather (e.g., <20 degrees F), at this point I can say two things I was not able to say before: 1) With "reasonable" temperatures as noted above, this works exactly as advertised. In fall/autumn and spring, if there is sunshine take advantage of the greenhouse effect as well - it will stay comfortably warm inside even with cool temperatures and mild to moderate winds you will NOT feel the winds and you will be far warmer and more comfortable inside than outside; and 2) The customer service from this company is unparalleled. I had an issue that I needed to deal with and they took care of it immediately. If I could give this company 6 stars I would do so. Summary: I don't believe that this item is meant for the arctic - and I don't think that will be a big surprise for anyone. I also bet that with a heavy snowfall it could not tolerate that weight and would collapse. So I would not think that this should ideally be advertised as a winter gazebo, but rather a fall-summer-spring and maybe mild winter gazebo! But now that we got that out of the way, EVERYTHING else I could say about the product, and especially everything I could possibly say about the customer service and the company standing behind its product, I would now give five stars and six stars, respectively, if I could. And that is not all that common today, and is so very appreciated. Thank you, Alvantor - well done.

I bought the 10’ x 10’ bubble tent in January 2025, used it last winter and this winter at my home in Michigan. I have 2 small electric heaters that blow the air to circulate it. I wrapped Christmas lights around the top of the inside, put a tarp underneath to prevent moisture from coming in, and put a 6’ x 8’ carpet down. It’s the best man cave for me and my dog. My wife sits inside the house watching the TV and me and the dog in the igloo. I’ve name it Fish Camp. Great in the snow, rain, wind, sun, any conditions. Even when it gets to 5-10 degrees outside, inside fish camp it’s 70 degrees with the heaters on. Definitely a must buy if you want to go “outside inside outside” as I call it. Fits 2 and a dog. Four people and a dog is good. 6 is a little crowded.

Edit: I have now had this up since November over my hot tub. Overall it has been good, however, the quality is lacking. There is a large rip in the top- nothing sharp has touched it and we keep the snow cover on. I put flexseal on it to stop the spread and will see how that lasts. The same day I put the flexseal on I was opening the zipper (which I always do carefully) and the thread that connects the zipper to the tent broke. This shows a lack if quality. I did sew it back on as best I could, but I am waiting for the rest to unsew. I contacted alavantor and they have given me nothing but trouble. First they couldn't find my order even though I had contacted them previously and registered my warranty with them. Then they stated I needed to contact amazon. When you contact amazon it tells you to contact alavantor. I have replied to alavantor with this information and am waiting for a reply...which usually takes 4 or so days. For how much money this is I expect better quality and for zippers to not break. I get plastic can become brittle, but there is no excuse for the zipper. The set up was super easy and fairly quick-just be careful when opening it as it will get you in the shins! We got it to put over our hottub for the winter as we get a lot of wind. So far it has been great. The only issue we have had is with the zipper on the window not closing right (the teeth seperate a bit). It doesn't impact too much. They offered me $50 back to pay a local seamstress to fix it- I doubt I will find anyone to fix a zipper for that cheap. Since it is just a vent windowits not abig deal. Update: we got a lot of freezing rain and I found it collapsed. Once we cleared it off it popped right back into place. I could see why they sell an extendable pull for extra support in the center.

Amazing! Easy to set up and well made. Enjoying my time in it. If you are using during the winter, buy the telescoping support pole

Great to extend the outdoor living space for the winter. Bubble is pretty solid but needs a lot of weight to prevent it from blowing away in moderate to high winds. I finally got it solid with 40 lb weight bags (rocks or water filled) at all the tie down points. The middle pole is an absolute must of the bubble will collapse in snow. Even with the pole, the edges will collapse in with over 1 inch of snow. You will need to intermittent knock the snow off the rood from the inside to prevent it. The seam on the zip us door has ripped twice and needed repair. This was accomplished with heavy duty tape and nylon thread. This 15ft bubble is on its second season but will likely not last more than 1 or 2 more. All in all I am happy with the product however the seams should be a bid more sturdy on the door. It should also specify that anything more than minimal snow will lead to collapse if not cleared intermittently.

商品はすぐ破損。出品者には連絡が途中でつかなくなり返金対応もされず。無駄な時間を費やした上に精神的にとても疲れました。

Nous avons reçu la tente très rapidement. Produit de grande qualité. nous l'avons mise en service rapidement, faire attention lors de l'ouverture, elle se déplie rapidement. Pour la mise place des arceaux il faut aussi faire attention lors de leur mise en place. sinon tout est bien de qualité, les petits sacs à sable, les tendeurs. je recommande.

just as the description says! Good quality and arrived in perfect condition.

Bin begeistert wie schnell sich das Zelt erwärmt und man damit elekt. Heizkosten spart

I purchased this because I bought a hot tub , I am positive I would not have used the hot tub without this as we are protected from the elements , especially the wind this year . I have been amazed of the fact this has stood up against some pretty nasty storms without issue . I am very please and recommend this to anyone ! It was easy to assemble just like it says .. excellent product ! Samantha
