Good tent for car camping
By Helen S. Lam
PROS: Relatively easy set up, 90 sq. ft. of interior space, height of the tent allows everyone to stand up inside, nice duffel to store and carry the tent, large optional vestibule for cooking and storing gear(64 st. ft.!), 12 all-around mesh pockets inside the tent to stow away everything, mesh around the entire perimeter and top of the tent - fly can also be folded up half way for 360 degree views with weather protection of the fly for top 2/3 of the tent, skylight for star gazing even with the fly on.
CONS: Pole for back awning is difficult to insert into the grommets - we had to aggressively bend ours to fit! No full fly for front and back doors so we are concerned about water leakage in a heavy storm. Only provided 4 guylines even though we need at least 2 more to properly stake down the fly. (We can obviously buy more guylines but it's still annoying that Big Agnes would skimp on guylines!)
WISH LIST (Hope you are listening, Big Agnes): "Zip-offable" vestibules for the front and the back doors. This will provide the added weather protection but also allow for more ventilation when no vestibule is needed. (We bought the optional vestibule which attaches to the front door but the back door is still exposed.)
BOTTOM LINE: The Big House 6 is a great tent for our family of four for mostly warm weather car camping. We can fit a pack 'n play and 3 sleeping bags in the tent without any problems. The abundance of mesh on the tent body is great for warm weather camping and beach going. (The tent is airy and open enough to use as a beach cabana.) On the other hand, with the abundance of mesh, the tent may be too chilly for true 3 season camping. Thus, it is an excellent tent for car camping during warm weather where comfort and ease of set-up are your key criteria in selecting a family tent.

Big Agnes 6
By Burger
We purchased our Big Agnes tent just prior to our 3+ week Maritime Province trip. The trip gave us opportunites to see how well the tent would perform in a variety of environments. First of all I should say it was difficult to find one available as everyone had them backordered. Even though only two of us would use the tent, we chose to get the 6 over the 4 for the extra space. The tent very easily accommodated our queen sized air matress and still gave us very adequate room to move around and store materials in. The tent is very easy to set up and take down and we had to do that several times in rainy conditions. Initially the tent had some small leaks so I taped all the seams on the fly and it has been dry ever since. I agree with several of the reviews that the fly should be taped from the factory and should also include the four lower fly tie down cords which I fabricated prior to leaving on vacation. The tent stores very easily in its bag. It does take some time to get the air out of the tent when you need to take it down quickly and we did have both the front and rear screens open. The tent ventilates very well is easly noticed in a campground! We would strongly recommend the tent and purchased it only after reading many positive reviews. We hope it will give us many years of wonderful service.

Several version of the tent out there
By Steven
After a couple of camping trips with the Big House 6, here's my review.
Be aware. there are at least 3 versions of this tent (maybe 4).
1. Pre 2013: most of the reviews you read are for the pre 2013 version of this tent. As best as I can tell here are the features of these tents:
* Trapezoidal foot print
* Two doors
* Two brow poles (front and back)
* Non-full coverage rain fly (even with optional vestibule, back door is exposed)
* Screen mesh covering two sides of the tent (non-entrance points)
2. 2013 version
* Trapezoidal foot print
* One door
* One brow pole (front only)
* FULL coverage rain fly (with optional vestibule)
* Screen mesh covering three sides of the tent (back, left and right sides)
3. Post 2013 version
* Rectangular foot print
* Two doors
* One brow pole (front only)
* Non-full coverage rain fly (even with optional vestibule, back door exposed)
* Screen mesh in a totally different configuration (both left and right sides at angles, nothing at the back due to the door)
As described above, the newest version of this tent (2014) goes back to the two door, non-full coverage rain fly configuration. It also is a smaller tent in that it is now a rectangular foot print instead of the trapezoidal one. Both the pre-2013 and the 2013 version have a third full tent pole which goes from side to side, making the trapezoidal shape of the floor.
The newest version has a rectangular floor with a partial pole which goes from left to right on the tent (ala, half a "halo", similar to the Marmot)
My 2013 version:
As mentioned, we've had a couple of camping trips with this tent. The quality is very good, with fully taped seams on the floor, exposed door, and rain fly. Inside there are two nylon shelves for gear at the top back, two upper mesh gear pockets toward the front, as well as plenty of mesh storage around the bottom of the tent.
There's plenty of head room. I'm a full 6' tall and don't come close to touching the top of the tent.
The trapezoid design allow for a more vertical wall structure, thus more room. We sleep with two air beds, and use the "bump outs" of the trapezoid to put some of our gear.
I'm a huge fan of full coverage rain fly's. That's the reason I bought the 2013 version of this tent. Two doors are useful at times, but for our family of 3, it's not a necessity. I'd much rather have the weather protection of the full fly. It also appears Big Agnes has done away with the high quality DAC aluminum poles and now uses something a bit cheaper. The poles they use now are no longer anodized, but just the plain aluminum color. They look and feel to be good quality, but only time will tell if they're as nice as the DAC poles. I think they'll probably hold up fine.
The tent and optional vestibule come with nice reflective guy lines, and pretty stout aluminum stakes. I like that the "guy outs" on the rain fly are also reflective. That said, I wish the guy lines were a more "florescent" color. They're dark maroon, which matches the tent, but in the shade and at dusk, they're a bit hard to notice if you're just walking around the tent without a light shining directly on them. I purchased 100 feet of florescent reflective yellow 550 paracord from Gorilla, and replaced the stock lines with this during down times on our two camping trips. HUGE difference in visibility.
When researching to buy a tent, I also looked at the Marmot Halo 6 and Marmot Limestone 6. What sold me on the Big Agnes Big House is the ability to roll up the rain fly for extra ventilation with the rain fly still staked out. This feature really rocks. The ventilation with the fly rolled up is awesome. You can roll up the fly around the tent in about two minutes, and put it all the way back down in about one.
During one of our trips we had some fairly heavy rain, but the full coverage fly kept us completely dry. The optional vestibule doesn't have a floor, but I just used some old canvas tarps to make a floor. It seemed much nicer this way, and made it easier to keep dirt out of the tent when coming and going. The "welcome mat" is worthless in my opinion. It's just one more thing I have to clean before I can tear down the tent. We just use an old door mat we've used for years. Beat it against a tree and you're done. (remember, this is a car camping tent, it's really not for backpacking. That's why we use extra tarps, mats, etc...)
All in all I'm really happy with this tent and can see many enjoyable camping years to come. (4.5 stars, but I round down)
Cheers
