Hey all - Any idea where to buy pop up tents? I know about Lowes, Home Depot, and PTM Tarps, but any other ideas?

I would use Yelp.com for the city in question and start with "tents" or "camping" and then narrow it as needed.

I don't know about the strength of pop-up tents, so that's another concern. I'd read reviews of any model on major retail sites before committing. And buy your stakes separately if they are 6" or something else unhelpful; Coleman 10" (or longer) are nice.

Thanks for the Yelp tip...makes sense! I live in LA and bought from PTM before... seems like the best option.
