Stout Tent Sunshade for Bell Tents

I've had my 5m Stout for several years and bought this sun shade a couple of years ago to combat Toaster Oven syndrome when camping in the desert during the summer. I was thoroughly impressed by how much it cooled my tent, easily a good 10 degrees. The shade is extremely durable and well made, looks great and is easy to install. I can't recommend this addition enough if you're going to be camping in a high heat area, it's seriously a life saver.

I love my Stout tent. I bought it to go camping with a large women’s outdoor group. The first set up was a little longer about 45 minutes because I was attaching all the tielines and making sure everything was correctly assembled. The second time I set up the tent it was super easy and took about 15 minutes. Although the tent has some weight to it I have found that separating the tent, plows,and stakes into their own separate bags helps me move it around easier for set up. I ordered the 4 m tent thing and most of the time I’ll be camping by myself. I was able to fit a real queen size bed with the mattress inside (no air mattress) a small table into chairs and still have plenty of room to move around. I stayed warm at night and cool during the day on my first trip in the Okefenokee swamp with my Stout. And I stayed mosquito free. I would definitely re-order a tent from Stout the process was super easy and they kept me informed every step of the way as my tent was being made. It is a great investment for my camping life.

My first year at Burning Man I used some borrowed Aluminet thrown over my Stout. My second year I purchased this sunshade. This was a very good decision! The fit and shade quality is excellent. I was surprised! After all that is said about aluminet this sunshade was cooler. I think the weave is just tighter and the close fit helps keep the tent in the shade. Also the setup is simpler and the look more elegant. I have been through a very hot year and a very dusty year now. I also camp here in central Texas with the tent. I Love my Stout tent and love it more with this sunshade!
