Instant Pop-Up
Automatic
Pop-Up Tent
Instant canvas fortress — 10-second auto-lock setup, 8-foot walk-in headroom, and blackout rainfly technology. From bag to basecamp in seconds.
Color: Olive Green / Camo
Why The Automatic?
The rugged durability of a canvas cabin with the lightning-fast convenience of a pop-up. No poles. No wrestling. No wasted time.
10-Second Auto-Lock Setup
Unfold. Extend. Click. Done.
The integrated telescoping aluminum frame rises and locks automatically the moment you extend it. No threading poles through sleeves, no matching colored segments, no instructions needed. One person, ten seconds, fully erected shelter.
Blackout Rainfly Technology
Sleep past sunrise. Stay cool past noon.
The 210T polyester rainfly features a specialized black inner coating that blocks up to 90% of sunlight. Sleep in total darkness past sunrise, and enjoy significantly cooler interior temperatures by preventing the greenhouse effect that plagues standard rainflies.
300gsm Poly-Cotton Canvas
Breathes like cotton. Performs like polyester.
This premium 300 g/m² hybrid blend dramatically reduces interior condensation, absorbs wind noise instead of amplifying it, and naturally regulates temperature — warmer on cool nights, cooler under the midday sun. Significantly more substantial than basic nylon shelters.
8-Foot Walk-In Headroom
Stand up. Stretch out. Move freely.
At 8 feet tall, the Automatic offers walk-in vertical clearance rarely found in pop-up shelters. Stand fully upright, change clothes without crouching, and move around a spacious 9.8-foot hexagonal floor plan that accommodates up to four adults comfortably.
Storm-Ready Anchoring
22 stakes. 6 guylines. Wind rated to 25 mph.
While designed for instant convenience, stability isn't an afterthought. The comprehensive kit includes 22 ground stakes and 6 guylines (4 standard + 2 extended) to firmly secure the hexagonal base and rainfly — rated for sustained winds up to 25 mph when fully tensioned.
All-In-One Camp Kit
Everything you need. One bag. One carry.
Stakes, guylines, awning poles, rainfly, and carry bag — all included. At just 26 lbs packed into a 33 × 10-inch backpack-style bag, the Automatic fits in a car trunk, straps to a pack, or slides behind a seat. No extra purchases required.
Room To Breathe
9.8 × 9.8 ft hexagonal footprint. 8-foot peak. Space for sleeping pads, camp chairs, and all your gear — with room to spare.
Interior Floor Plan — Square (9.8 × 9.8 ft)
Square footprint · Sleeps 3–4 · Full standing room
Dimensions & Capacity
A living room that pops up in seconds.
The 9.8 × 9.8 ft square floor plan with 8-foot center peak gives you genuine walk-around living space. Sleeps 3–4 adults on pads, or configure as a couple's retreat with camp chairs and a full gear station. Packs down to just 33 × 10 inches.
Cross-Ventilation System
Two mesh panels. Roll-up storm flaps. Fresh air on demand.
Two large zip-out mesh panels with roll-up storm flaps allow full cross-ventilation. Combined with the breathable poly-cotton canvas that naturally reduces condensation, the interior stays fresh and dry without mechanical fans — even in summer heat.
Instant Auto-Lock Assembly
Unfold. Extend. Click. Camp.
No pole sorting, no sleeve threading, no instructions needed. The pre-attached telescoping aluminum frame extends and locks automatically. One person. Under ten seconds. Throw the rainfly on top and you're sheltered. Packdown takes under two minutes.
Why The Automatic Stands Out
Three engineering decisions that separate the Automatic from every other pop-up tent in its price range.
Auto-Lock Frame
Traditional tents scatter loose poles that need to be threaded, bent, and clipped. The Automatic's integrated telescoping aluminum hub extends and clicks into place in under 10 seconds — no parts to lose, no assembly to learn.
Blackout Rainfly
Standard rainflies let sunlight pour through, turning tents into greenhouses by morning. The Automatic's specialized black inner coating blocks up to 90% of UV — keeping you in total darkness for better sleep and significantly cooler daytime temps.
Poly-Cotton Canvas
Standard pop-ups use thin 70gsm nylon that traps heat and condensation. The Automatic uses heavy 300gsm poly-cotton canvas that breathes naturally, absorbs wind noise, and regulates temperature — warmer at night, cooler at noon. 4× the fabric weight of typical pop-ups.
Specs That Actually Matter
Engineered for 3-season use from spring through fall. Handles heavy rain, summer heat, and breezy nights — with 10-second setup and zero complexity.
What It's Made Of
Every material chosen specifically for the intersection of instant convenience and heavy-duty performance — heavier than nylon, faster than cotton.
300 gsm Polyester-Cotton Canvas Blend
Premium hybrid canvas that breathes like cotton but dries like polyester. Dramatically reduces interior condensation, absorbs wind noise, and creates a stable thermal buffer — warmer on cool nights, cooler in midday heat. Naturally mildew-resistant for faster pack-up.
210T Polyester + 2000mm PU Coating + Blackout Layer
Dual-layer engineered rainfly: exterior 2000mm PU waterproof coating with factory-taped seams sheds sustained downpours instantly. Interior black coating blocks up to 90% of sunlight, creating a blackout sleeping environment and preventing the greenhouse effect.
Aluminum Auto-Lock Telescoping Poles
Integrated hub system of telescoping aluminum alloy poles connected by a central spring-loaded mechanism. Extends and clicks into place instantly — no assembly required. Rust-resistant, lightweight, and significantly more durable than fiberglass alternatives. No lost parts, ever.
2× Zip-Out Mesh Panels + Roll-Up Storm Flaps
Two large zip-out mesh panels provide cross-ventilation with roll-up storm flaps for weather protection. Keeps airflow moving through the interior while blocking insects and rain when conditions change.
Full-Size Entry + Heavy-Duty Reinforced Zippers
Large door entry with heavy-duty reinforced zippers on all access points. Included awning poles allow the door flap to prop open as an extended front porch, creating additional covered outdoor living space.
22 Stakes + 6 Guylines (4 Standard + 2 Extended)
Comprehensive anchoring kit: 22 ground stakes for the hexagonal base, 4 standard 8.2-foot guylines, and 2 extended 13.1-foot guylines for maximum tension. Full kit included — rated to 25 mph when properly deployed.
Automatic — Anatomy
Material spec for every component
Instant Assembly
Pop Up. Lock In. Camp Faster.
The tent that assembles itself — a spring-loaded hub that transforms setup from a chore into a single gesture.
The integrated telescoping aluminum alloy frame is connected by a central spring-loaded hub. Unlike traditional fiberglass poles that can splinter or steel that's prohibitively heavy, this aluminum framework extends and "clicks" into place automatically — no threading, no matching segments, no instructions. Because the frame is pre-attached to the tent body, you'll never lose a pole or struggle to match parts in the dark.
- Telescoping aluminum auto-lock hub system
- Under 10 seconds from bag to fully erect shelter
- Integrated frame — no loose parts to lose
- Rust-resistant aluminum for years of smooth operation
Premium Canvas Shell
Breathes Like Cotton. Performs Like Polyester.
Heavy-duty hybrid canvas that eliminates the worst problems of both nylon and pure cotton.
The Automatic's 300gsm polyester-cotton blend is 4× heavier than typical nylon pop-up shells. This isn't just about durability — the canvas weave allows air to naturally permeate the fabric, dramatically reducing condensation on the walls and keeping interior air fresh and dry. The heavy weight absorbs wind noise instead of amplifying it, and the fabric density acts as a thermal buffer — holding warmth on cool nights while shielding from scorching midday heat.
- 300gsm — 4× heavier than standard nylon pop-ups
- Natural breathability eliminates condensation buildup
- Absorbs wind noise for quiet, undisturbed sleep
- Thermal regulation — cooler in sun, warmer at night
Blackout Technology
Sleep Past Sunrise. Stay Cool Past Noon.
A dual-layer engineered rainfly that doesn't just keep rain out — it keeps sunlight out too.
The 210T polyester rainfly features a camouflage exterior with a 2000mm PU waterproof coating and factory-taped seams for storm-ready protection. But the real innovation is the specialized black inner coating — blocking up to 90% of sunlight. This eliminates the blinding 5 AM wake-up, keeps the interior dramatically cooler during daytime heat, and prevents the greenhouse effect that turns standard tents into ovens. Sleep in. Nap anytime. Stay cool all day.
- Blocks up to 90% of sunlight — true blackout sleeping
- 2,000mm PU waterproof rating with taped seams
- Prevents greenhouse effect for cooler daytime temps
- Camouflage exterior pattern for discreet camp aesthetics
Field-Tested & Approved
"We took this tent through three weeks of continuous field testing across desert, forest, and coastal campsites. The pop-up mechanism held up flawlessly — not a single jam or misalignment across 40+ deploys. The blackout rainfly was the standout feature: 95°F afternoon, and the interior stayed noticeably cooler and darker than our control tent. Setup averaged 8 seconds. Packdown took under 2 minutes. This is genuinely the fastest shelter we've ever deployed that still feels like a real tent inside."
