R446 4x4 Grow Tent, 48"x48"x72" Roof Cube Tent with Observation Window and Floor Tray for Hydroponics Indoor Plant for VS4000/VSF4300

Love this tent. Easy to set up, in about 10 minutes. Easy to set up equipment and plants. Zips work well and the tent is very well made.

First I would like to say, Vivosun you could have done better!! So yeah exactly like other reviews said the stitch job on this is horrible!! I had to use an entire roll of aluminum tape to cover every stitch in the seams of the tent!! The needle they use is to big vs the thread used. You can see all the holes where it was stitched. After I used the aluminum tape it was light proof. One of the connections for the roof did not have the holes drilled in it so the metal tabs could click in place. After I drilled the holes myself it worked! The zipper flaps that cover the inside of the zipper to cover the light leaks is to short, the flaps about .75 in wide! FYI that's why gorilla tent has 3in flaps that cover zippers! Floor liner to stop water leaks let out a major smell when we unfolded it. Strong chemical smell! Aired it outside for an hour and was fine. Velcro covers for the vents and door window are cool but really no one uses them anymore, that's what the duct ports are for!! Also velcro not that great and let light in. Ok so overall the tent price is the only reason I kept it and did the extra work myself!! If you buy the aluminum tape and have an hour to tape all the seams I would buy this tent! Way cheaper than real grow tents. The zipper is all metal and have a good quality to them. Oh and those that destroyed the box and couldnt return, they put signs all over the box that said this must be returned in same box... READ BEFORE YOU DESTROY!! For some reason Amazon wouldn't let me upload the pictures!!

When it arrives, there is a single page-one side-with a very good diagram for the assembly of the frame. That is where 'very good ends and 'why in the world did I buy this tent when there are so many others to chose from". This is because THERE ARE NO INSTRUCTIONS-AT ALL- ON HOW TO INSTALL THE TENT SHELL-N O N E. Besides the frame, the single page appears to say to put the tent shell down over the frame and it seems to show some bent arrows to close the window and door flaps. We got the frame assembled easily. Putting the cover over the frame was like trying to stretch a buffalo hide. And because there are VIRTUALLY NO WRITTEN DIRECTIONS, I got the 'buffalo hide' tent skin on BACKWARDS (because there are NO written directions). I bought this tent because I plan to use it in my greenhouse and the flat roof of this tent will (barely) fit under the slope of the greenhouse roof. But I can not possibly turn the tent around, as there is 1' space on each side of a 6' wide greenhouse and the roof shape of the tent will not permit it. So, because THERE ARE NO WRITTEN DIRECTIONS and the tent is built BACKWARDS and can't be turned around, I may have to completely disassemble it and start all over. It took 10 minutes or less for the frame. It took over an hour to get that very well made, tightly fitted 'buffalo hide' tent shell stretched over the frame. This was mostly because there were NO WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS. I cursed several times. I took a short ice tea break and burned one. I went back and stretched tent hide. Twice. I think I finally got it fully assembled, but it will be VERY DIFFICULT to use unless I start all over because the tent door faces the back of the greenhouse, not the entry door. This is because it was assembled backwards BECAUSE THERE ARE - N O - WRITTEN ASSEMBLY DIRECTIONS - not even little hints. Once it is fully assembled it appears to be really nicely made, of good construction and materials. But before I can use it, I'll have to figure out how to get in it since I can barely get to the tent door. This is because - Oh, have I said that there are no written instructions?

Very easy to put together and there aren’t any light leaks! Those are the two most important for me and why I gave it 5 stars! I love that you can step inside of this tent and that it’s tall enough so the plants have room to grow and not hit the light yet you don’t have to pay a small fortune to get that! What I didn’t like is closing one of the vents holes as I was putting it together and the spring broke. The part was very cheap but that didn’t diminish the product just made the outside vent part not as easy to close. I love the storage pocket inside so I can take notes in the plants and leave there without losing. The window in the front is also an added bonus! Over all it’s a nice tent. Just for comparison this is my 5th tent and have been growing for 6 years. ****After having the product for 6 months I’d like to add it has leaked water “condensation” through the seams on 2 of the 4 corners and caused mildew damage on our carpet. None of my other tents leaked in all the years of growing so I did not expect that. I put lined painters cloth under on two sides but it went through that as well! Changing my review due to these leaks!

Just received the grow tent and set it up by myself in about 30 - 45 minutes. The instructions aren't great but they are clear enough to support a rather intuitive process. I'm very happy with the materials - the outer shell is substantial and inner lining has good strength. I'm not worried about rips or tears. The overall design is impressive - the placement of vents, windows and pockets is very good. Now the downside -- the stitching is a bit suspect. There are loose threads in a number of locations. More troubling -- the zipper, while seemingly rugged, catches and snags along the zip line. In one section, the zipper teeth had come apart ahead of the zipper being drawn over that section. Anyone whose has had this happen knows it's possible while trying to fix the issue, to ultimately ruin the zip line resulting in the zipper never marrying the two sides securely ever again. I'm taking a chance (rather than dismantling and repackaging the tent) of keeping this one and crossing my fingers that the zipper get stuck or worse - break, in the coming days/weeks/months. If it does, I'll update this review.
