This tent is a brick house compared to the tent we had previously. That thing was a paper bag in comparison (won't mention the brand). The solid construction is mind blowing in every regard. The materials are tough and long lasting (we hope), won't tear or shred in the sun and wind like our old one. We've already had some rain as well, and though it's not completely waterproof, it is water resistant and kept us and our stuff mostly dry. Our primary concerns have been durability, warmth/coolness, and zippers. We have a Kitty with us who managed to tear through our old tent a couple of times and we did our best to repair it, but it kept tearing. Our new Kodiak tent, though, is tough enough to thwart her claws! And it's quiet in the wind, though that hasn't been too bad lately. The zipper on the main front door is a little tight in places. Is it a metal zipper or plastic? We can't quite tell. Do you have a lubricant or a recommendation for something to make it a little easier to use? We are in and out of the tent many times during the day and this is a vital function for us. The window zippers seem just fine so far. If the zipper does fail in the future, do you have replacements for it? I realize we have another door we could utilize, but would prefer to use the main front door. Anyway, I would give this amazing tent a 9.5 out of 10, only because of it not quite being waterproof (felt dampness seeping through in places) and the tightness of the door zipper. Also, when putting the tent up initially, we had a difficult time with getting the two side poles onto the rings at the bottom. But that may have been because everything was still zipped up. We may try to put the poles on the bottom rings first rather than the top and see if that is easier to do, if/when necessary. Hopefully we won't have to do that any time soon! Found a permanent place to camp for as long as we need it. We are very pleased with the Kodiak canvas tent and feel it is worth every cent! Highly recommend it, as it was recommended to us by another camper!!

As expected. Will protect tent floor.

This makes camping just a little bit easier especially if you already have a Kodiak tent because it pairs so well. I use it every time I go camping.

Very nice heavy duty ground sheet.

I have always used a ground tarp with every tent I have ever owned, and am pleased that Kodiak offers this as an available option to add to our camp kit.

I bought the extra ground tarp for the basic tent. It looks like it will do the job keeping out the dampness and provide another layer of insulation on the floor. I definitely recommend the getting the extra tarp if your on the fence about getting one. This one is heavy duty and will do the trick.

Cannot buy a more heavy-duty tarp for this price........very thick and should do the job nicely

Well made ground tarp. Seems durable.
