Cedar Ridge Rimrock 6 Person Dome Tent Review

The Rimrock 6 has two windows and one door and a maximum center height of 6' 0, which is a little bit smaller than the average height of the 107 other 6 person tents we have studied. With 100 square feet of room inside, it is a little bit smaller than some other 6-person tents, and it could be a little cramped for you and, up to five other campers during the 3-seasons, this tent is suggested for use in, larger tents like this one often can make a suitable choice for families that appreciate having lots of room inside their tent for sleeping and hanging out.

A few of the cool things about dome tents are, that they are generally speaking lightweight, making them simple to carry. In near all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are generally speaking, freestanding and very simple to set up. In calm weather, you could do without securing the tent with stakes and ropes, not that this is recommended.

Dome tents are without a doubt the most common of all the different sorts of tents you will see when camping. They tend to do better in storms than other types, allowing rain to easily slide off the sloped walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, resulting in the rain pooling on the top. The simplest dome tent should have a square footprint, slanted sides a couple of poles which cross in the middle of the roof. Because of the way they are made, it is generally thought of that they are ideal for up to a maximum of 6 people.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Rimrock can support its own weight on any terrain. It does not need to be staked down in most cases. But in case of strong winds, it is always best to secure it to the ground with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Has Gear Loft. It is nice to see Cedar Ridge adding a gear loft in the interior to store some of your things.
3. Has awnings. The awnings protect the walls of the tent.
4. More than one window. With 2 openings it is simple to keep the tent cool on a hot summers night.
5. Breathable. The Rimrock's interior uses a mesh fabric on the inside of the tent, and this helps maximize the flow of air. With the extra ventilation, and this tent is great for use in the warmer months.
6. Other sizes are available. Cedar Ridge has also made this model available in Other Sizes.
7. Low price. It is a great buy for a 6 person dome tent that provides this much room. Not many tents available on the market provide this level of quality for only $129.99

CONS

1. Susceptible to wind. Because of its size and shape, the Rimrock may not do well in strong winds if it is not firmly secured with the provided guy lines and stakes. Even though the tent is listed as freestanding in all but very calm conditions, one would want to stake and tie it down correctly.
2. Not spacious. With a floor area of 100 square feet, the Rimrock 6 is smaller than quite a few of the 107 other 6 person tents we have looked at.
3. Only one room. The Rimrock is suggested for 6 people, some other tents of a similar size have more than one room allowing for a little more privacy.
4. No Vestibules. If you want to keep your dirty shoes, clothes, and backpacks protected from the elements, you must store them inside the tent.
5. Rainfly does not completely cover the tent. The rainfly only covers the ceiling and part of the tent body from the top. Meaning it might not protect against heavy rain.
6. Uses Fiberglass poles. Even though the poles are comprised of shock-corded fiberglass. Using even some fiberglass with a large tent like the Rimrock 6 could possibly lead to problems, if there were to be extreemly windy conditions.
7. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one available separately designed for the Rimrock 6 footprint Even though the floor may be made of Polyethylene Tub, it is still better to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
8. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have many things to be positive about. The sloping sides do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
