Canvas Wing Vestibule Accessory for Flex-Bow Tents

I am so happy I decided to get this vestibule! The canvas is strong and study and thick enough to keep out the elements. It extends my camping experience by allowing shade and dryness away from rain and coolness away from the sun to enjoy the "outdoors". Easy to put up and no issues for me. Great extra to the Kodiak Canvas Flexbow.

So I have a 10x10 Canvas Kodiak tent. This vestibule is a fabulous extension to living space. It cuts out excessive heat on the tent, and protects from the rain. When I go on a camping trip, it will be great for privacy. The canvas is water proof and strong. Stakes and strong ropes come with this. This really gives the front porch flap on the tent strong structure. Very happy.

This Vestibule adds very usable space and protection from the sun. Even in the tent during the day, it shades the tent and keeps the mid-day temperatures down. Great protection for gear as well and it really bolsters the awning which I have never fully enjoyed until now.

Will hold up I'm sure. Wish the stakes were the same as the ones for the tent. I did not like the fact that I had to put grommets in the Awning on a new tent. This should have been rectified by now with Kodiak tents. I just purchased mine 2 months ago so it's not an old model.
Apart from that, I'm happy. That is rare.

On a semi positive note I did find the people that I interfaced with at Kodiak to be generally friendly and helpful but a bit disorganized. They got my order processed and shipped to me in good condition very quickly and efficiently. The products I received seem to be well constructed at first glance and set up and I expect to perform well in the field.

And now the but-

In my opinion, it is EXTREMELY lame that the seller does not provide a ready to go out of the box product. The buyer, possibly not particular knowledgeable about the how-to-use involved) has to potentially purchase a grommet kit. (add $12-$35) to the cost of the vestibule) and then spent time to install 3 additional grommets. The argument of not wanting to stock multiple wings is bogus since the alteration occurs to the tent not the wing. Tents could just be manufactured to allow use of a wing. It should cost their Chinese manufacturer very much to add a 3 more grommets to the tent awning. Why would you want a non professional to modify your product?

Also Kodiak is not definitive on the web site description as to whether you actually will need to add grommets or not. If Kodiak needs to add $5-$10 more to the cost then that's the way to go IMO.

On top of that the wing requires multiple stakes to work. None of which are supplied with the wing nor is there a mention that you will need them.

Thirdly the descriptions states that a 3rd guy line is included with the wing. The one I received did not. Thankfully I have extra rope and know how to tie a taut line hitch. Another lack of attention to detail.
The instructions could be better written as well.

Very disappointing. All in all, a ONE FINGER RATING.
