Rating and Summary

The Core 9-Person Instant Cabin Tent has a super quick, fuss-free set up, and even though I’m just 5’3″, I could set the entire tent up on my own in just over 10 minutes, which includes staking and guying out the tent. This is easily the biggest pro of this tent.

On the other hand, the cons are fairly minor (like requiring a little seam sealant), so this is a solid case where the pros outweigh the cons. Do read on to find out more about the pros and cons!

*This is a picture of me beside my Core 9-Person Instant Cabin Tent in my yard.*

Pros: Easy set up, easy pack away, good quality, huge doors, cabin shape, great hot day ventilation

Cons: No tub floor, requires seam sealant for heavy rain, huge packed size

Set Up

How to Set Up the Core Instant 9

To set up this Core 9-Person Instant Cabin Tent, first unfold the tent until it lays flat on the ground, and the only thing that isn’t flat is the center hub that’s sticking out.

*This is the Core Instant 9 unfolded on the ground. The red arrow is pointing to the center hub.*

After that, step onto the tent body, and pull the tent upward using the 2 other hubs to the left and right of the center hub, like so:

This picture shows the hub on the left of the Core Instant 9 having been pulled upward. — *This picture shows the hub on the **left** of the Core Instant 9 having been pulled upward.*

And this picture shows the hub on the right of the Core Instant 9 having been pulled upward. — *And this picture shows the hub on the **right** of the Core Instant 9 having been pulled upward.*

If you’re wondering, here’s a close up of what the hubs look like:

*A close up shot of one of the hubs of the Core Instant 9.*

The 3 hubs are these hubs at the top of the tent, where multiple poles are connected together. So, by pulling on the hubs, the rest of the poles will be pulled upward as well.

*This is a close up shot of the center hub of the Core Instant 9. Notice the poles are all connected to it.*

You might also have to prop some of the other poles up yourself, in case the hubs don’t pull them up, and you can do so by pulling on these elbow joints. (I’ll show you a close up of these elbow joints in a bit.)

*This is a picture of me trying to prop up the poles of the Core Instant 9.*

When you’re done, your tent should be set up about halfway, and should be able to stand on its own.

Then, extend all the telescoping wall poles by pulling them apart until you hear the button clicking into place.

*This is a picture of me extending one of the wall poles of the Core Instant 9.*

When you hear the click, this green button should pop out, like this, and that’s when you know the pole is fully extended.

*A close up shot of the green button on each telescoping wall pole of the Core Instant 9.*

I usually start with one end of the tent, and then make my way to the other end of the tent.

Next, drape the rainfly over the tent, and secure the extended portions of the rainfly to the tent.

*This is a picture of me securing the rainfly of the Core Instant 9.*

To do so, there are 6 of these hooks on the rainfly that you attach to these notches in the middle of each steel pole of the tent. Each of these notches actually has the word “Rainfly” written on it.

A close up shot of where you're supposed to attach the rainfly to the poles of the Core Instant 9. — *A close up shot of where you’re supposed to attach the rainfly to the poles of the Core Instant 9.*

Tip: One tip I have for you here, if you’re not tall like me (I’m about 5’3″ or 160cm tall), is to attach the rainfly before extending the wall poles, like so:

*This is a picture of me putting up the rainfly of the Core Instant 9 before fully extending the tent upwards.*

To tighten and adjust the rainfly into position, just pull on the strap in the front.

*This is a picture of my brother tightening the rainfly strap of the Core Instant 9.*

After that, pull the entire Core tent out tight, and use 10 stakes to stake down the tent base. Then, use 6 more stakes for the 6 pre-attached guylines around the tent.

*This is a picture of me guying out the Core Instant 9.*

Finally, use the last 2 stakes to stake down the 2 vents, 1 at each length of this Core tent. (I’ll show you pictures of this down at the ‘Ventilation’ section.)

How Long Does it Take to Set Up the Core Instant 9?

Altogether, it took my bro and I (so 2 people) about 6 minutes to set up the entire Core 9-Person Instant Cabin Tent. When I set up the entire tent on my own (so 1 person), it took me about 12 minutes, so about double the time.

Take Down & Pack Away

How to Take Down the Core Instant 9

To take down this Core 9-Person Instant Cabin Tent, first remove all the guylines, stakes, as well as the rainfly, by undoing the rainfly clips.

To take down the tent body, just press on this green button on each of the 6 telescoping wall poles.

*This is a picture of me about to press the green button on the poles of the Core Instant 9.*

Pressing on the green button allows you to then push down on all the poles, to retract them.

*This is a picture of my brother retracting the poles of the Core Instant 9.*

After that, push all the elbow joints inwards, and these elbow joints are covered with this small gray cushiony thing.

*A close up shot of the elbow joints on the Core Instant 9.*

Then, push in the 2 right and left hubs, until only the center hub is left standing.

How to Pack Away the Core Instant 9

To pack up this Core 9-Person Instant Cabin Tent, fold the tent body up first starting with the 4 corners, like this.

*The Core Instant 9 with the corners folded in.*

Then, stand the center hub upright, and fold the rest of the poles towards the center hub.

*This is a picture of my bro and I folding the poles towards the center hub of the Core Instant 9. You can’t see me in this picture because I’m bending down and folding the poles up.*

When all the poles have been aligned together in a bunch, you should be able to place them on the ground horizontally.

*The Core Instant 9 with the poles horizontal on the ground.*

After that, pack the tent fabric together as tightly as possible.

*My brother and I using some rope to tie up the tent fabric of the Core Instant 9.*

I found that the carry bag is pretty big, and everything goes back in no problem at all.

*My brother and I putting the Core Instant 9 back into its carry case.*

How Long Does it Take to Pack Away the Core Instant 9?

When my bro and I packed up this Core 9-Person Instant Cabin Tent, it took us just 4.5 minutes or so (2-people timing). On my own, it took me about 9 minutes (1-person timing), so about double the time.

For more info on how to set up and pack away this Core Instant 9, check out this video that I published on my YouTube channel:

Height

Peak Height of the Core Instant 9

The peak height in this Core 9-Person Instant Cabin Tent is about 75.5 inches, and I can stand upright under the peak height no problem at all. (I’m 5’3” or 160 cm tall.) I can also reach the top of the tent very easily by just stretching my arm out.

Lowest Height in the Core Instant 9

The lowest height in the tent, which is at the four corners, is about 64 inches, which is still taller than my height, so I could stand up there too. (Please excuse the mask I was using, I was just camera-shy and didn’t want my face to be in the videos/photos!)

*This is a picture of me standing in one of the corners of the Core Instant 9.*

Livable Space

The side walls of this Core 9-Person Tent are pretty much vertical, so there’s a lot of livable space inside the tent, and I can walk around the tent easily.

*One of the side walls of the Core Instant 9.*

Overall, I felt that it’s really spacious for someone with my height.

Base Area

The length of this Core 9-Person Instant Cabin Tent is about 13 feet and 6 inches, while the width is about 8 feet and 9 inches, so quite a few inches smaller than the marketed dimensions of 14 by 9 feet.

*This is a picture of me using a tape measure the measure the length of the Core Instant 9.*

Mattress Sizing

Single Pads in the Core Instant 9

But despite the slightly smaller than marketed size, I could still fit 9 regular sleeping pads inside the Core Instant 9, and here’s what having 9 pads looks like. You do have to sleep shoulder to shoulder though, and there’ll be practically no space leftover for any camping gear.

*This is what 9 pads looks like inside the Core Instant 9. There are 3 single pads and 3 double pads in this picture.*

Queen Beds in the Core Instant 9

Instead of 9 pads, I found that I could fit just 2 queen-sized camping mattresses, and here’s what these 2 queen beds look like inside the tent.

*This is what 2 queen beds looks like inside the Core Instant 9.*

There’s plenty of room for 2 queen beds or 4 people to sleep inside this tent, plus lots of leftover space for camping gear as well. Surprisingly, there was not enough space to fit a third queen bed, even when I pushed both queen beds closely together (pictured above).

I also tried fitting them in different positions, and I found that the width of the tent is too short for 2 queen beds side by side.

*The width of the Core Instant 9 is too short to fit 2 queen beds side by side.*

The length fits 2 queen beds perfectly though.

*The length of the Core Instant 9 fits 2 queen beds side by side, just perfectly.*

Room Divider

When you buy this Core 9-Person Instant Cabin Tent, you’ll get this removable room divider, so you can split the tent into 2 rooms.

The divider comes with 1 loop to be hooked to the top of the tent, and 4 more latches to be attached to the sides of the tent.

*A close up shot of one of the latches of the room divider in the Core Instant 9.*

When using the divider, each “room” can fit 4 sleeping pads or sleeping bags with not much leftover space for gear, like so:

*This is what the 9 pads in the Core Instant 9 look like when the divider has been put up.*

Alternatively, you can fit just 1 queen bed with plenty of leftover space for gear.

This is what the 2 queen beds in the Core Instant 9 look like when the divider is up; there's 1 queen bed in each room. — *This is what the 2 queen beds in the Core Instant 9 look like when the divider is up; there’s 1 queen bed in each room.*

The divider has a zip in the middle so that you can access either room, and you can also pull back the sides of the divider for easier access using the 2 extra latches by the sides.

*This is a picture of me pulling back the sides of the divider in the Core Instant 9.*

There are 2 things I didn’t quite like about this divider.

First, one room, on the left side of the tent, will have only 3 windows, and no door, while the other room has 1 window, and 2 doors. And second, it’s sooo see-through! You can almost see the entire room through the divider.

*This is a picture of me unzipping the divider in the Core Instant 9.*

Windows

This Core 9-Person Instant Cabin Tent comes with a whopping 7 windows, if you include the mesh panels of the 2 doors as well. (More on these doors later!)

Window Size of the Core Instant 9

Each of these smaller windows measures about 43 inches in length, by 21 inches in width, and there are 3 of these windows on the left side of the tent.

*The 3 smaller windows on the left side of the Core Instant 9.*

On the right side of the tent, there are 4 windows with a lot more ventilation. The largest window on the left measures a whopping 68 inches in length, and 36 inches in width.

The mesh panels of the doors are smaller, the 2 middle panels measure 38 by 36 inches each, and the last one on the right measures 33 by 36 inches.

*The 4 windows on the right side of the Core Instant 9.*

Other Window Features

Each window comes with 2 green zippers, and a bug net to stop larger bugs (like mosquitoes) from getting in.

*A close up of the window zippers in the Core Instant 9.*

Some windows also have a window latch to hold the fabric when the window is open. For those that do not have this latch, you can just tuck the window fabric against the mesh of the window, like the picture below, so there’s less fumbling when opening and shutting the windows.

This is the biggest window in the Core Instant 9. Notice I didn't use the window latch, I just rolled the fabric up and tucked it against the mesh. — *This is the biggest window in the Core Instant 9. Notice I didn’t use the window latch, I just rolled the fabric up and tucked it against the mesh.*

Doors

This Core 9-Person Instant Cabin Tent comes with 2 doors, both at the right side of the tent.

T-Door of the Core Instant 9

One is this humongous T-door, which measures about 96 inches in length, by about 51 inches in width.

It also measures about 55 inches from the ground to the top of the door, but it’s still shorter than my height, I do need to duck a little when entering.

*This is a picture of me ducking to get through the T-door of the Core Instant 9.*

Side Door of the Core Instant 9

The other door is right next to this T-door, it’s this smaller side door, which measures about 52 inches in length, 36 inches in width, and about 53 inches from the ground to the top of the door, and I also had to duck when entering and leaving the tent.

Door Zippers

The T-door comes with 3 green zippers, so you can unzip it, roll back the 2 sides of the door, and clip both to the sides, 1 clip on each side, like this.

*A close up of the T-door latch in the Core Instant 9 that you can use to hold the door open.*

The smaller side door comes with just 2 green zippers, and 2 latches by the side to tie the door fabric up to keep it open.

Storage Options

Pockets in the Core Instant 9

For storage, there are 2 pockets inside this Core 9-Person Instant Cabin Tent. The bigger pocket measures about 21 by 10 inches, while the smaller pocket measures about 14 by 8 inches.

*This is the bigger pocket inside the Core Instant 9.*

Lantern Loops in the Core Instant 9

There’s also 1 loop at the top of the center of the tent, where you can hang a lantern for lighting at night. This is the same loop that I hung the divider from.

*This is a picture of my brother hanging up a lantern in the Core Instant 9.*

Other Features

Also, there’s 1 e-port in the middle of the tent with a Velcro closure.

*The e-port of the Core Instant 9, pictured from the outside.*

Rain Test

Light Rain Test

When I put this Core 9-Person Instant Cabin Tent through some light rain, there were no leaks inside the tent after 1 entire hour.

Heavy Rain Test

I also managed to put it through 1 hour of heavy rain, which looked like this.

*My Core Instant 9 in my yard in heavy rain. This picture is **not** edited.*

After the hour was up, and the rain stopped, I found some leaking through the seam between the flooring and the green tent fabric.

*A little bit of leaking in my Core Instant 9 after one hour of heavy rain.*

There was leaking in 2 places from this seam, one with less leaking (pictured above), and another with quite a bit of leaking through the corner (pictured below).

*The corner of the Core Instant 9 also started leaking water into the tent.*

Also, I found that the window latch was soaked through, and the water dripped into the tent from this latch. This is because this window latch is connected to the outside, so to stop the leaking, you’ve probably got to seal the seam from the outside too. (It’s already taped from the inside.)

*Water dripping down from the window latch in the Core Instant 9.*

Foot Mat of the Core Instant 9

Oh, and this Core 9-Person Tent also comes with a pre-attached foot mat, which will get super soaked in heavy rain, because there’s no vestibule or shading outside the tent.

For more info on this Core 9-Person Tent’s rain test, you can check out this video here:

Hot Day Ventilation

On a hot day without the rainfly, this Core 9-Person Instant Cabin Tent has quite a bit of ventilation. There are 7 windows, and some of them are pretty huge.

*This is a picture of me opening all the windows on the right and back wall of the Core Instant 9.*

*This is a picture of me opening all the windows on the left and front wall of the Core Instant 9.*

On top of that, the rainfly is removable from the outside, and you’ll get a lot of mesh on the roof of the tent. This is great for tons of hot day ventilation.

*The ceiling or roof mesh of the Core Instant 9.*

Rainy Day Ventilation

On a rainy day though, you have to put the rainfly back on, to cover up and protect the ceiling mesh from any leaks.

Also, because the rainfly is quite tiny, it doesn’t offer that much rain protection. The rainfly’s there to only protect water from seeping in through the ceiling mesh, and that’s about it.

*The rainfly of the Core Instant 9 in light rain.*

So, during the heavy rain, all of my windows and doors were pretty soaked from top to bottom, and you’d definitely have to shut them.

*One of the windows of my Core Instant 9 completely drenched in heavy rain.*

Even in light rain, a lot of the rainfall will get onto the mesh of all the windows and doors. This reduces rainy day ventilation by quite a bit.

However, I highly recommend staking these 2 ground vents out from the outside, so that you’d get some ventilation on rainy days.

*My brother staking out one of the vents of the Core Instant 9.*

These 2 vents are quite big, each measuring about 74 inches in length and 18 inches in width from the inside. They can also be opened and shut from the inside of the tent, which is super cool.

The 2 ground vents of the Core Instant 9 are shut in this picture. — *The 2 ground vents of the Core Instant 9 are **shut** in this picture.*

The 2 ground vents of the Core Instant 9 are open in this picture. — *The 2 ground vents of the Core Instant 9 are **open** in this picture.*

To do so, just press down on this black latch here at the bottom of each vent, and push the fabric along this cord. This makes the vents shut. Even when opened, no water got into my tent through these vents.

*A close up shot of the black latch of each vent in the Core Instant 9.*

*A picture of me beginning to shut one of the vents in the Core Instant 9.*

Quality

Materials of the Core Instant 9

The flooring of this Core 9-Person Instant Cabin Tent is made of polyethylene, which looks like this:

*A close up shot of the polyethylene flooring of the Core Instant 9.*

The rest of the tent is made of 68D Polyester, both the rainfly and the tent body.

*A close up shot of the tent body fabric of the Core Instant 9.*

Waterproofing of the Core Instant 9

All the fabrics of the Core Instant 9 have a hydrostatic head rating of 600 millimeters, and after 1 hour of heavy rain, I found that the top gray fabric was still dry, though the green/yellow fabric at the bottom was slightly damp after an hour of heavy rain, because it was exposed to a lot more rainfall.

*My hand is damp after touching the yellow/green fabric at the bottom of the Core Instant 9.*

This is a picture of me touching the top gray fabric of the Core Instant 9. — *This is a picture of me touching the top gray fabric of the Core Instant 9 (still dry).*

Seams of the Core Instant 9

Most of the important seams inside the tent have been seam taped, like this middle seam between the gray and green fabric.

However, this green fabric to flooring seam isn’t taped, and is inverted instead, which is why there was leaking.

*A close up shot of the inverted flooring seam in the Core Instant 9.*

The seams are generally good quality, double-stitched, and consistent, and I found only a couple of loose threads.

*Some loose threads near the e-port of the Core Instant 9.*

Mesh of the Core Instant 9

The mesh is just regular mesh, not no-see-um mesh, and it’s decent quality.

*A close up of the mesh in the Core Instant 9.*

Zippers of the Core Instant 9

The zippers are also decent quality, and all the window zippers are catch-free. The door zippers are also decent quality too, and I had no snagging issues on the T-door.

*A close up of the 3 T-door zippers in the Core Instant 9.*

I did find that the zippers of the side door sometimes catches on the rain cover, but other than that, they’re pretty snag free too.

*The rain cover from the outside of the side door of the Core Instant 9 sometimes catches on the zipper.*

Additional Features

Also, the huge T-door has a small little rain collar/cover thing, which trapped the water that seeped in through the door zip, so that the water doesn’t actually drip into the tent instead.

*Extra rain protection for the zippers of the T-door in the Core Instant 9.*

Portability

Packed Size of the Core Instant 9

This Core 9-Person Instant Cabin Tent has a packed size of 46 by 13 by 12 inches, and here’s what it looks like beside a Coleman 2-Person Sundome Tent and a 32-ounce Nalgene bottle for a size comparison.

*From top to bottom: Core Instant 9, Coleman Sundome 2, 32-oz Nalgene bottle.*

Weight of the Core Instant 9

It weighs about 30.0 lbs for everything.

*A picture of my brother picking up the Core Instant 9. You can ignore the (cute) dog scratching himself in the background.*

Pros and Cons

Pros

For pros, the biggest one is easily the super quick set up. Since the poles, the pole clips, and the guylines are all pre-attached, I didn’t have to fuss over any pole sleeves, and it took me just 12 minutes on my own for such a big tent.

*A close up of the center hub of the Core Instant 9, pictured from inside the tent.*

*A close up of one of the pre-attached pole clips of the Core Instant 9.*

*A close up of one of the pre-attached guylines of the Core Instant 9.*

Also, the pack up is equally simple. It’s pretty easy to squeeze all the air out, the carry bag is pretty big, and getting everything back into the bag was no problem at all.

On top of that, I liked that the carry bag has a little more cushioning at one of the widths to protect the tent.

*A close up of the cushioning of the carry bag for the Core Instant 9.*

I also really liked that all the poles of this Core 9-Person Instant Tent are made of steel, which is more durable than fiberglass.

*A close up of one of the steel poles of the Core Instant 9.*

Another fantastic pro is this huge T-door, which is really quite big, and makes getting in and out of the tent super easy.

*The 2 doors of the Core Instant 9 completely open, pictured from the outside of the tent.*

There’s also plenty of livable space inside the tent due to the cabin shape, and hot day ventilation is also fantastic, with great air flow.

Cons

As for cons, I think the biggest one is that there’s no bathtub flooring, the green fabric extends all the way to the ground, and I had to keep my tent away from the light flooding in my yard.

Also, Core didn’t seal this flooring seam. Instead, they made it inverted, which let in a little bit of leaking in 2 places during 1 hour of heavy rain. But I guess it’s a pretty easy fix, so it’s not as big a con.

*A picture of me pointing to the flooring seam in the Core Instant 9 that needs to be sealed in heavy rain.*

The rest of the cons are pretty minor, like the see-through divider, which I don’t see the point in using. Also, the base area is a bit of a weird configuration that doesn’t fit more than 2 queens.

So, if you expect to fit 6 people inside this tent on 3 queen beds, you’d have to buy a 10-person Core tent instead of this 9-person tent, and here’s what my 10-Person Core tent looked like with 4 queen beds.

*Here’s what having 4 queen-sized camping mattresses would look like inside the Core 10-Person Straight Wall Cabin Tent.*

There’s also not enough storage, with only 2 pockets and 1 lantern loop.

And lastly, the packed size is humongous. Surprisingly, this Core 9-Person Tent has a bigger packed size than my Outdoor Products 10-Person Instant Tent, and is also more than twice as big as my regular 8-person and 10-person tents. It’s one of my bulkiest tents to store.

*The Core Instant 9 (gray, bottom) next to my Coleman Red Canyon 8 (green, top) for a size comparison.*

*The Core Instant 9 (gray, bottom) next to my Outdoor Products Instant 10 (green, middle) and my Core Cabin 10 (gray, top).*

But, this makes the pack up super easy, so it’s a trade off I guess.

Recommendation

Overall, I feel that the cons are fairly minor, and some are easily fixable, like the leaking seam.

*A picture of my Core Instant 9 in my yard.*

I think the pros clearly outweigh the cons here, because there’s a lot of pros, like it’s super easy to set up and pack up, the quality is decent, and it’s feature-rich, making it super comfy to camp in.

Overall, I can definitely recommend this Core Instant 9 for warmer weather.
