Reliable, quick to pitch, and with options to expand your set up with more shade, the Instant Up 6P Gold Evo Tent from Coleman will get the whole fam set up in a jiffy.
The integrated frame makes setting this tent up a breeze as all you need to do is lay it down, spread out the arms, extend the poles out from the hub until it locks into place, and pop on the fly. It’s got a front awning that provides a small amount of shelter at the entrance to the tent, or you can attach a separately available EVO shade awning which also connects to an additional 3x3m Coleman Lighted Instant Up Gazebo so you can relax with more undercover protection. This model has ultra-fine mesh floor level vents and windows throughout the tent for airflow as well as internally adjustable window screens to keep you warm and allow for privacy.
To protect you from the ground underneath there’s a heavy-duty Poly-Oxford PVC floor, and to create a comfy and organised campsite there’s an internal storage hammock plus pockets, power cord facilities and a handy welcome mat. With versatile shade options plus a user-friendly design and quality construction, the Instant Up 6P Gold Evo will help you create the ultimate campsite.
One of the arms has snapped off where the 4 arms join at the top of the tent during strong wind. is it possible to get it replaced or do i throw the tent away

Difference between EVO and previous version? 3 answers
Hi, I'm wondering what the differences are between this EVO version, and the prior non-evo version it replaced: https://www.snowys.com.au/instant-up-gold-6p-tent
Steven - Baldivis, WA (8 months ago)
G'day Steven,
The fly design is the only difference - the Evo doesn't have the optional side awning, but it is compatible with the separately available Evo Shade Awning which extends the front shaded living space, and connects to a 3x3 gazebo. Hope that helps!
Lauren - Snowys(8 months ago)
From what I can see, the EVO also only has 1 entrance compared to the previous model with dual end entrance options.
Rachael - Brisbane City, QLD (7 months ago)
G'day Rachel,
The 4P has a single entrance, but the 6P still has both a front and rear entrance. Hope that helps.

2.4m Gazebo1 answer
Can the awning be attached to a 2.4m gazebo?
Jom - North Strathfield, NSW (9 months ago)
G'day Jom,
The 6P Gold Evo tent has some velcro along the edge of the awning, so you can attach it to your gazebo if it has corresponding velcro. If it doesn't, it wouldn't be too hard to do a DIY fix and install some. You'd be able to pick up velcro strips from somewhere like Spotlight.

Rear door?1 answer
In your answer to a previous question you indicated that the 6P Evo Gold has a rear door, just like the (now discontinued) 6P Gold. But in the diagram it looks like a rear window, not a rear door. Can you please clarify?
Emma - Melbourne, VIC(10 months ago)
G'day Emma,
This current model now has only 1 door at the front and a window at the rear of the tent.

Different from Northstar Darkroom Tent?1 answer
Hi there, What are the big differences between this tent and the Instant Up 6P Lighted Northstar Darkroom Tent? Is it just the integrated light and the darkroom coating?
Aaron - Elderslie, NSW (3 years ago)
G'day Aaron,
The 6P Northstar has the darkroom coating on the fly and the front vestibule to help minimise light getting in. Because it is so dark inside the tent, there is the inbuilt lighting. The 6P Evo is the improved version of the standard 6P Gold, having an attachment option for you to use with the Evo Shade Awning. This optional shade awning is not compatible with any other Coleman tent, other that the Evo series. Hope that helps!

Repair1 answer
Hi, I have enjoyed using this tent very much. As unlikely as it seems, a cricket has chewed through the main tent material - not the fly (I suspect it was trying to escape after packed up in the tent for several days). Is there a repair kit that can be used on this tent to patch holes? Thank you
Jay - Brisbane, QLD(3 years ago)
G'day Jay,
We've done a video taking you through the different options for repairing your tent fly, this will probably be perfect for your needs! Check it out here.

Lighting system & battery pack?1 answer
Hi, Does this 6 person tent come with the strip lighting built in and the battery pack? (Same as the 4 person tent). It’s just that it’s not mentioned in the description and content list.... Thanks
Paul - Warriewood, NSW(3 years ago)
G'day Paul,
You have commented on the Instant Up Gold EVO series from Coleman. If you are after the lighted option, search for the Instant Up Lighted Northstar series.

Gold -v- Silver1 answer
What are the practical differences between the gold Evo as against the silver Evo?
Steve - Annandale, NSW(3 years ago)
G'day Steve,
The Silver is the base model and is a lighter, more fair wether/entry level tent option, having 1/2 the waterhead rating as the Gold. As you would assume, the Gold is a step up on this, has a higher water head rating, has a heavy duty PVC floor, and is more suited to year round use.

Gazebo1 answer
Does this tent front awning attach directly to a gazebo, and if so what type?

Wind2 answers
Hi there, just wondering what kind of winds this tent would hold up to?
Sara - Woolgoolga, NSW(3 years ago)
G'day Sarah,
Tents do not come with a wind resistance rating, as there are quite a lot of variables to inclement weather situations! It's impossible to give any indication or guarantee of a limit here, but we have a podcast covering all the tips and tricks of setting up your tent in wind & rain, you might find that helpful.
Lauren - Snowys(3 years ago)
I know there is no official wind rating on these tents, but I bought one and had it shipped to Texas, U.S.A. The very first time I took this out there were severe thunderstorms. We had winds estimated at 40MPH (64Kmh) with gusts much higher. The tent survived. You can get more details in the review I wrote.

Gold instant up vs gold evo infant up1 answer

claude - Liverpool, NSW(4 years ago)
G'day Claude,
The Instant Up Gold Evo Tents are the new version of the Instant Up Gold Tents. They've made a few minor changes, and now include a zipper above the front door to attach the EVO Shade Awnings for extra undercover space. The size, shape, pole design and materials remain the same.

Floor Material: 1 answer
is the 420D Polyoxford PVCFloor Material same as the previous Gold instant up model like the cabin instant up which is listed as 420D Polyester/PVC https://www.snowys.com.au/instant-cabin-gold-8p-tent
josh - Parramatta, NSW(4 years ago)
G'day Josh,
As far as we're aware Coleman has made a few changes to the floor material, and now use Polyoxford. The Cabin Gold 8P has discontinued around 4-5 years ago so unfortunately, we don't have the exact specifics on file to double-check this for you.

About awning and door1 answer
Does this evo tent has back entrance? The old version gold series tent has the side awning, does this new one have that?
Esther - Hawthorn(4 years ago)
We are yet to set one of these up in full and have a good look over it, Esther, all the information we have so far is what is on our website.
Coleman has removed the side awning option and placed a zip at the front to allow attachment of a new awning/shade accessory, and the 6P version still features both front and rear doors as per the previous models.
