9 x 8 ft. Flex-Bow Deluxe Canvas Camping Tent

Practiced setting the tent up a couple of times in the backyard when I first got it. The canvas definitely stretches out after the first time of putting the cross bar through. Went three days of camping this last week with the new tent. We had incredible amounts of rain and wind for the majority of 3 days. The tent did not budge nor did it leak. It got filthy dirty with mud and debris but it stood like a rock. I was also very pleased the difference between other tents that I have where I was always hunched over moving around. With this tent I was standing tall and had a ton of room. So I'm a happy camper and just the ticket for how I base camp and do long day hikes. Worth the money in my book.

Today the weather was finally nice enough to put up the 9x8’ tent I purchased. It literally took me 30 minutes to put it up by myself (ground over and tent fully staked), and I’m a 5’5” 69 year old woman. So excited to start camping in it!

Super simple and quick to set up. Very durable and well made, I'm very impressed with the quality. The 9x8 "can" sleep more than 2 adults, but I'd recommend not more than that for maximum comfort. If you're planning on camping with kids, dogs, etc, I'd highly recommend one of the larger sizes.

I love this tent, but when it comes to adding other features to it, it’s limited. I’d love have a wing vestibule and a gear loft that would work with it. Other than that, I’m super happy with it. I docked this tent a star on this review, due to the limitations. I may be able to adapt the tent with these myself, but I’d rather it came with the tent right from the start.

My husband set up the tent in our front yard last weekend. It didn't take long at all for him to have it put together. (I wasn't able to help. I had surgery late last December and haven't been cleared to lift anything.) Once it was, we both stood back and admired it. Everything about this tent was better than I had anticipated. The canvas, the double-stitched seams, and the durable zippers, it is all made very well and made to last. I don't know if you are supposed to say that a tent is beautiful or not, but it is. The design of the tent is aesthetically pleasing with its clean lines and neutral colors. Both my husband and I are impressed! We couldn't have found a more perfect tent. This is to be great. We are going to enjoy this tent for many years to come.

Everything came as expected, and looks great...I wish that I had purchased the 10 x 10 my SJ cot hits the walls.

Amazing! My first Canvas tent that I have purchased and it’s nice. Quality materials and simple instructions, everything shipped fast and on time. Amazing company and quality materials, highly recommended, With easy setup Thank you Kodiak

We are delighted with our new 9x8 Flex-Bow tent. We used it the first time for 10 days in the dusty, dry northern Nevada desert (August 2022). It survived all the wind and dust storms, and kept most of the dust outside. The zippers worked well in the dust with just a bit of wax added. It is the perfect size for two people and our gear, and we loved standing up inside. We look forward to many more outings with this tent.

This is our second Kodiak tent. We have the 10x10 as well, liked that one so much that when we needed another tent, we selected this brand again.
