What type of tent is this
I guess it is most appropriate to say – this is a giant type. There are no many bigger tents on the market in a poled version of a tent. So here you have a tunnel-shaped structure
with 3 sleeping pod, 1 large living area rooms plus one front porch which is just like another room. The only difference between the inner area and the front room is the floor; the inner area is with the fully sewn-in and sealed floor, while the front room is without a groundsheet but if you buy the option groundsheet protector this will cover the front porch area.

This is an enormous structure and it is not freestanding. So to set it up, you have to stake the back corners first and then start adding the poles.
You then do it from back to the front, raise the poles and stake the tent. This is best done by two people and in this case, you will not need more than 20 minutes.
