We love the tent and have had it up for a couple weeks and serves our purpose well. We thought if bad weather was coming, we would take it down with no problem. Well, we had some bad weather coming our way and when we tried to take it down, l couldn't figure out where to loosen the tension to fold it closed. The instructions to close are not on the outside if the carrying case, just how to open it. Luckily, the bad weather passed to the north of us.
