Take the family car camping with the Big Agnes Big House 4 Tent. Designed to fit four people comfortably, this large, spacious three-season tent is easy to set up so you can pitch it in a hurry and move on to making dinner for your hungry kids.

  • Durable polyester ripstop fly and polyester floor feature a PU coating to shed wet weather
  • Tent body is made from lightweight polyester mesh and durable polyester ripstop
  • Lightweight aluminum poles feature press-fit connectors and color-coded pole ends, grommet webbing, and buckles for easy set up
  • Reflective guy lines improve nighttime visibility
  • Two large doors make entry and exit easy
  • Welcome mat by the front door provides a space for muddy shoes and wet gear
  • Fly and floor seams taped without using solvents (PVC or VOC) to prevent rain penetration during spring and summer storms
  • Super-light aluminum stakes included
  • Note: Accessory vestibule sold separately and adds an additional 52 square feet of covered space
  • Note: Footprint also sold separately

Bottom Line: Sleep the whole family in roomy comfort.

Is the fly on the back side of the tent full coverage? I can see the front isn't but you can buy the vestibule.

No, just an awning the both doodrs are waterproof I have never had issues in any weather with this system. You can buy the addtional vestibule that will give you this or look at the King Creek model from Big Agnes it has a full featured fly.

Fantastic Tent!

By:
April 25, 2011

Just wrapped up the maiden voyage using this tent. 3 days in Yosemite enduring cold wet weather and even a little snow. The tent set up in a flash and was easy to figure out. I got the vestibule and it was a real asset to have during the weekend. There was just two of us and the dog in the tent but there is no doubt enough room for four and possibly 5. There were no drip or leaks and the seams look great. I am not sure if i will add seam sealer to the tent (I usually do) but we will see. There are a lot of interior pockets for gear and having a front and back access door is convenient too, especially to let the pooch out in the early morning. Great job Big Agnes!!!! I would highly recommend this tent and the vestibule.

Roomy enough for two chairs to stay out of the rain and be comfortable.

There is no informatioin saying that the extended vestibule (the one we see in the pictures) is an add-on item. It is not mentioned in the description. If I buy this tent I would expect the large vestibule we see in the pictures to come with it. Is this correct or no? we don't get the big vestibule?

Yes on the front doors. The fly will cover the mesh on the sides for privacy.

great tent! worth every penny

Upgraded to this from a 2p marmot, the space is amazing! it's not a "backpacking" tent unless you split it among 2-3 people (easy to do) but very well made, tons of storage, and my favorite part, the headroom! i'm 6'1 and can stand in the center with no problem! due to the height just make sure you use the provided guy lines to secure the tent and she's as stable as a brick s*#t house! with four people + gear there is still room, for two to three it's lonley any you may get lost! ;)

They're clipped in to the same hooks as the main poles. There aren't any hubs on this tent.

Incredible Tent

By:
August 25, 2009

We have had our Big Agnes Big House 4 tent for about 3-4 years now, and we have loved every minute we've spent inside it. We camp about once a month, so it has gotten a lot of use. This tent is absolutely amazing. We are a family of 5 with three adults and two teenagers, and although we rarely are all camping together at once, we all are able to fit in the Big House 4 (with our sleeping pads and bags) comfortably. We've used the Big House 4 to camp in Spring, Summer, and Fall and it has kept us comfortable in all of the elements. It is a breeze to set up as well. It can easily be set up by one person, but because of its size, there are usually two of us working on it, and we have it ready in no time. One of our poles has become slightly bent due to some mishandling, but it is not enough to cause any problems. The Big House 4 is an amazing tent that is definitely worth owning, especially for a big family of avid campers. You will fall in love with it!

I tried to research the Mondo Condo but all resources have dried up. The Big House 4 does great in windy situations but not as good a lower profile tent. The Mondo Condo has been replaced by the Moken 4 which is 4 sq. ft. larger, 7 lbs. heavier, & has a 45 sq.ft. living/vestibule area.
