I chose this five sided ice fishing tent for a variety of features with the most important to me being a rounder shape than a four sided tent because that is more sturdy to high winds.
When spraying leaves down the driveway with your garden hose which is very effective, occasionally there will be one stubborn leaf that won't budge as if it's glued down. Spray steadily and directed right at it and it just stays right there. Then pick it up and look at it. The difference is it's dome shape that let's the high pressure stream of water just flow around it as it pushes it down while the other leaves are lifted up and washed away. I'm thinking the rounder a tent is the more it will by nature of that shape resist strong gusting winds.
The six sided tent also presents a close to round shape to the wind and I would favor it slightly except I liked some of the other features of this tent. I like that it's all black to gain solar heat the best. I like the windows all the way around. It is fairly large and taller than most. I like that the fabric is heavy and the stitching is sturdy.
Size:
Center ht: 82".
Wt: 45 lbs.
Dia: 9ft.
Fishable Area: 64 sq. ft.
