"The footprint of the floor is a square for the T4 hub tent, so you should find the available space easy to work with, even with mattress. ... We have the T4 plus, which is just two squares with a room divider. We use cots and there is room for 5 and the dogs."
"I like to have the room and be able to stand or sit in it with a chair shoud it be raining, all while having my pad and bags in there."
"Never had a tent I could stand up straight in before!"

"I can tell you I just used a gazelle tent in Ottawa last week for six nights with tons of mosquitoes and biting horse flies and everything and not a single bug in my tent at all."

"I have a Gazelle, but due to the sheer size and weight when packed, I don't use it as often."
"it is HUGE when folded down for storage transport ... You need to have a large SUV or a roof rack to transport this thing."
"Downside it’s heavy and big. ... Like the size of a small person in the bag. ... And I think it weighs maybe 30 some pounds."

"I saw over a dozen gazelles that totally failed during a storm at an Overland event two years ago. ... They did not hold up well at all. ... Guy lines were used etc, but they were some of the worst fairing tents among them all. ... I was a volunteer and had to go around taking stock of the damage and help people and after that I would not buy one of their tents. ... I was a volunteer at an overland rally two years ago and saw a bunch of gazelle tents fail in a wind storm. ... It was wild. they were the worst failing tents of all the tents there. ... esp if they are going to fail in bad weather."
"You have to make sure to guy out the hubs in strong winds, and the more horizontal the guy line can be the better, or else wind can collapse the hub. I'm taking 15-20mph plus wind. Was in 30-40mph gusts and it held up, but I'd guyed out the hub the direction the wind was coming from with two guy lines, each as horizontal as I could get them, 45 degrees from each other."
"Oh, and I ditched the stakes that came with it and instead use heavy, all metal spike stakes."

"the mesh is so tight that the ventilation is horrible in temps over 70."
"poor ventilation"
"My beef with nearly all nylon tents is how they collect condensation. ... I’ve had 5 people and 2 dogs in the Gazelle. All of that breathing made the inside pretty wet."

"Constantly leaks"
"The silver exterior will wear and you'll soon have moisture ingress."
"I did have an issue with water seeping in during very heavy downpour. I'm taking several inches of rain in an hour downpour. It would soak in through the stitches around the hubs, and also where the interior mesh bags are on the sides."

"Constantly leaks"
"mine had a bunch of needle holes that I needed to seal ... Also some loose stitching ... Not very well made for roughly $400 in cost."
"2 out of 4 metal sheath ends for the rain fly poles went loose into the dirt."
We camp with a Gazelle 10 man tent, so yes. We downgraded from a 26 foot camper. https://preview.redd.it/e4iauq1yw6be1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d345f3586946515c50a44c2cfae616777cd22605
r/camping • Massive tent ->I have a Gazelle, but due to the sheer size and weight when packed, I don't use it as often.
r/camping • Looking for a tent to hangout in ->We love our Gazelle gazebos. Don’t know about a firepit, but super easy to put up, plenty of room to stand, side panels that can be put up. The only downside is the weight. We have a five-sided and a six-sided depending on how many people we’re camping with. https://gazelletents.com/collections/6-sided-gazebos
r/camping • Looking for a tent to hangout in ->Coleman Skydome 6 with full rain fly might be worth looking at. I hate my Gazelle screen tent. Constantly leaks, poor ventilation, and a pain to deal with due to large folded size.
r/CampingGear • Recommendations for a car camping tent for two people that you can stand up in. $500 budget. ->We have the Gazelle. It’s built well and all, but the mesh is so tight that the ventilation is horrible in temps over 70. Unless it’s pouring out or massively buggy, we don’t even set it up most times.
r/camping • Timber Ridge instant pop up hub vs Gazelle T4? ->I love my Gazelle. From the inside, it has a smiling face. https://preview.redd.it/q1pj3tjxh9de1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=76c1a899f46a5a1e9502a4754044d726496ff4b3
r/camping • Looking for a functional, but aesthetically pleasing, tent. ->Tried the Gazelle, liked it until I put it away on the first trip and 2 out of 4 metal sheath ends for the rain fly poles went loose into the dirt. Terrible quality for the price, went back to REI and got the Nemo Aurora.
r/CampingGear • I analyzed Reddit data for the 25 most recommended camping tents (in the past year) ->We like the gazelle too. Husband can stand up in it. Quick set up/tear down. Very roomy and seems to be holding up really well.
r/overlanding • Tent Recommendations ->Check out Gazelle, it's bulky but I love it anyway.
r/camping • Looking for a high-quality tent for car camping in Utah ->If you're spending that type of money, look at the gazelle tents.
r/camping • Do you guys have experience with these? ->I came here to say this. It's big, but it's easy peasy.
r/camping • Do you guys have experience with these? ->+1 for Gazelle. In addition to being very roomy, the Gazelle is very very fast to set up and tear down. It handles inclement weather and strong winds (with the guylines staked down) very well
r/overlanding • Tent Recommendations ->It's always kind of amused me that Gazelle is known for being heavy. Gazelles, famous for their immense bulk and weight. And yes I know it's called that because it's fast to set up lol. They really are super nice.
