Thanks a million! Frustration averted! Failure reversed! Your way is much better than the instructions that came with my King Camp multi-tent. I love that it is done standing up and the tent stays cleaner, not to mention the knees. Thanks again for taking the time to make this super helpful video.
Thank you! I just got one of these tents and I didn't pay attention to how it popped up when I took it out of the bag. We couldn't figure out how to fold it back up and tried a bunch of times, without success. After watching this video - I only watched you do it once - POOF! I was able to fold mine in about 10 seconds. THANK YOU!
Tried 3 previous tutorials, lying it flat and bringing each end together, wasn't having any of it...then watched this video and worked effortlessly. Brilliant, thank you.
Thank you so much!!! I couldn't for the life of me work out this contraption and have withheld feedback on ebay until the seller sends me a set of instructions.
Of all the videos showing how to fold these things, this one is the best. There are many folding methods, but this one is by far the easiest. Also nice that he does it 3 times, the 3rd time in slow motion. Still, the technique this guy uses is what makes this method the easiest. Note how he gets this to work. Hold both sides at the base just above the curve between the sides and the bottom. As he folds in, the top immediately moves down. If the top doesn't move down immediately upon starting the fold, your hands aren't low enough on the sides. Once the top starts moving down, then just continue to fold in both sides, and the top should curl under, making the 3rd circle, by itself. For those of us who know how to fold a bicycle tire (not a tube) in thirds in order to carry a spare on a long-distance trek, the idea is the same, but the technique to get the tri-fold started is different.
Just bought one today to take the kids to the beach. Bought a "sun-shelter-dome'.When i got a demonstration in the shop it looked sooooo easy. On the beach I saw multiple people struggling with their dismantling, including myself. After viewing this video it was done in 10 seconds flat. Thank you so much for posting. Great product, but a pain in the arse if you don't know how to dismantle it properly.
Cool! Funny, I didn't know there were actually different ways to fold it easily & quickly. Your way is the best for keeping it free from dirt, sand, etc. as it never touches the ground! 👍⛺
Whew…thanks for this. Best video I've seen. I've carried mine flat for two years of camping trips. Finally in the bag (although once it's not completely flat…it will pop up as soon as I unzip it, lol)
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Myself and my partner were cracking up trying to put the darn thing away and then slapping ourselves after seeing this and realising just how easy it really was. Thank you again you are AWESOME!!!!
Thank you, after buying the spinifex and learning how to fold it, it was a year before I took it out to use it and had completely forgotten how to fold it, so thanks again as we are going on a trip from Sydney to Perth and back.
Thanks so much for the video...I knew it was easy to fold up...but couldn't figure it out. Lol The slow motion was perfect. It allowed me to fold up the tent along with the video.
yay. Good video. I managed to do it right by a fluke the first time but then I couldnt remember what it was I did LOL I've written a little instruction paper to put with it now based on your directions.
Omg.. You did that flawlessly! Thank you so much because I could never figure it out.I also have a pop-up shelter that folds the same way that I have never been able to fold..
A HUGE thank you. The appalling instructions left us frustrated and bewildered and with a weirdly folded pop-up that deformed the bag it came in, but we had to pack it away! I've just done it twice to make sure it wasn't a fluke. Soooo easy! (when you know how). J&M
Thanks so much for this video. I felt like a dweeb looking for such a video and I am happy to say I wasn't the only one. :) Took me a few tries as I wasn't holding it close to the bottom enough, but we finally did it!
Excellent and very clear. I wish you had shown it starting with the tent still erect, but I assume getting to your starting point is simple and obvious (don't have this tent; thinking about it).
Bought a Shengyuan pop up potty tent from banggood.com. for about $20. Very sturdy and good quality. BUT NO Instructions included! ( Made in China)Your video was the best among 10! Thank you! Please let confused beginners know that once you have the left under right, then cross lower left side in a figure 8 over right and pull up the last circle towards you. On my new tent the figure 8 did not automatically happen like it did on your video, but mine folds with help like yours did. I think with use and repeated folding the figure 8 gets some memory!!! Or maybe that is why this quality tent is so inexpensive! Keep making videos! Grateful is the best word for me right now!!!
It's a pop up tent about 6 feet tall and 36" square at the base that becomes an out house when camping or keep in your car for roadside bathroom emergencies (you place a portable toilet in it), or use as a shower stall when camping, or a dressing room (when camping or at the beach).
Thanks to your video I was able to fold mine up in seconds. Thank you! Of course now my the wires in two if my panels seem to have mis-adjusted themselves so it's impossible. Waaah!
Would like to add my own opinion of your awesomeness and THANK you, so damn much... As for 'Leapair' (the tent's maker): what gives? Let's recap (someone please correct me where/if I'm wrong here): 1. You make a solid value product (the consumer's return on his purchase price is spot on--couldn't be better). 2. Therefore, all else being equal, each and every last one of us should be 'happy campers' (literally!) the moment after our un-boxing and 'test drive' of your product. 3. With #1 and #2 correctly describing the buyer experience here, then you would have--by now--built up a momentum of popularity leading to frequent "Sold Out" notices being posted by your re-sellers. Because, again: this is REALLY well made and well priced and it fills a niche that is unusually specific but universal, at the same time! (The copy is exactly right about it being perfect for all manner of folks--not just campers.) HOWEVER... *Sadly...* There can't possibly be more than 1% of your customers able to return the tent to its carry case without seeking third party help. Can there? Unless my delivery was in some way shorted something--like a cutsheet with instructions or a manufacturer's Web address... I received *(a)* the product, with the 4 stakes; and *(b)* a tiny, 3.25" x 7" slip of glossy paper. The slip of paper provide: on FRONT side: a larger picture of tent with a smaller insert pic of fkw and the alpha-numeric characters *120x120x190cm* buried in the green grass of the larger picture like some arcane snippet of DiVinci code; and on FLIP side:six tiny boxes, each with a simple line drawing. Per those six boxes: *that* is your 'instructions'? The first is a useless image of some *vaguely similar to this one tent,* in its opened state. 2nd box: essentially the same pic but which seems to depict a "Step 1" (FAIL). Making fully half of this solitary insert I received with the tent useless, the 3rd box appears to be the carry case with, presumably, the re-inserted, folded back up tent... As for the 3 of 6 boxes that I suppose were intended to describe how someone folds the open tent back up for a return to its carry case: *Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot*???!!! OK... God bless anyone who even started to read this long-assed post--especially anyone still reading it... So, quickly wrapping up then: a simple search fails to bring up any website for the manufacturer. But, as noted herein, 'Leapair' has been blessed by a guardian angel in the form of this kind soul (PrivacyPopUpTent). Now, if the poster IS the manufacturer (I haven't clicked on the name to find out)... then, Leapair... sigh... you poor bastard... YOU, my friend, deserve some sort of world-wide prize for the walking embodiment of the stereotypical characterof an engineer who is a magnificent genius at what he knows; but who knows *absolutely nothing else.* Laslty, since I hate people who bang on about a challenge with nary a single suggested solution... Leapair: if you lot are, as I suspect, a team of 'meat-and-potato' types with an EXTREMELY BROAD definition of those 'feather merchant' types who have always baffled you: *please* find it in your hearts to hire or at least contract with a person or entity which might assist you in the various measures needed for you to get this and other great products to the market in ways that will serve to self-perpetuate sales and allow you to stay alive long enough to thrive! I truly HATE thinking about great gadgets I'll never own or know about simply because the makers had definitions of "intuitive" that can only apply to someone with an engineering degree.
MA-A-A-A-A-A-ANN!!! You saved my life, i did it once then forgot how. . .yes!! you saved me from staying up an extra hour trying to figure it out. thank you !! Thank you!! THA-A-A-ANK YOU!!!!! Whew!
Thanks. I have a KOA Kid's Mosquito Net Pop-up tent that uses the same folding sequence. The instruction sheet was comical -- "place your hands at 1/3 the length and push upwards folding into 3 rings, then flatten out rings"....just hilarious. Why not just say, "grab the bottom 2 corners and fold"?
Videos like this are the number one reason why I love the Internet. THANKS FROM TEXAS!!!
Thanks a million! Frustration averted! Failure reversed! Your way is much better than the instructions that came with my King Camp multi-tent. I love that it is done standing up and the tent stays cleaner, not to mention the knees. Thanks again for taking the time to make this super helpful video.

As with all the others, I too struggled. Your video was exactly what I needed. Thank You. Thank You

Thank you so much!!! I couldn't for the life of me work out this contraption and have withheld feedback on ebay until the seller sends me a set of instructions.
Thank you!! I left "Gumby" in the garage flat for days. Now I can finally fit it back in the bag. Thank you for posting!!

Thank you!! I'd had mine set up in the living room for a day because I couldn't fold it back in to the bag!! Hero!!
Yup. Me too!
You saved our marriage! Thanks so much for the slow motion demonstration!!
Kathi Bellew can I marry you?
Cool! Funny, I didn't know there were actually different ways to fold it easily & quickly. Your way is the best for keeping it free from dirt, sand, etc. as it never touches the ground! 👍⛺
Tried for an hour to get mine closed...frustration level HIGH...saw your video and did it in seconds....God Bless You xoxo
THANK YOU!!!!!! had two engineers and one camping experts give up on how to do this...you rock.
Thanks! I found that the slow motion folding demo was the most helpful.
You make it look sooo easy. However because you did it several times and once in slow motion, I got mine folded. Never to open it again.
THANK YOU!! This is so much easier then Green Elephants instruction video!
THANK YOU!!!! This video is MUCH simpler than the directions that came with the pop-up!
Whew…thanks for this. Best video I've seen. I've carried mine flat for two years of camping trips. Finally in the bag (although once it's not completely flat…it will pop up as soon as I unzip it, lol)
You guys are awesome for showing this! Thank you
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Myself and my partner were cracking up trying to put the darn thing away and then slapping ourselves after seeing this and realising just how easy it really was. Thank you again you are AWESOME!!!!

I've written a little instruction paper to put with it now based on your directions.
Omg.. You did that flawlessly! Thank you so much because I could never figure it out.I also have a pop-up shelter that folds the same way that I have never been able to fold..
I had a difficult time putting this down !
A HUGE thank you. The appalling instructions left us frustrated and bewildered and with a weirdly folded pop-up that deformed the bag it came in, but we had to pack it away! I've just done it twice to make sure it wasn't a fluke. Soooo easy! (when you know how).

Great video! Thank you! We were utterly defeated by this evil folding trick and felt like total failures!!
Best video I've seen on how to do this the Slo Mo did the trick and I got it as soon as I tried it while watching the Slow motion!
THANK YOU, SIR! I have been struggling for days!
Thank you so much for this video! I use it every time I can't remember how to fold this damn tent!! 😄
Wish I'd seen this before I wasted 10 frustrated minutes trying to fold mine up. Thanks so much!
Your a savior !!!! Thank you !!!! I lost the instructions & struggled with it at the beach with my kids for like 10-15 min before I gave up :-)
Thanks so much for this video. I felt like a dweeb looking for such a video and I am happy to say I wasn't the only one. :) Took me a few tries as I wasn't holding it close to the bottom enough, but we finally did it!
I literally have this video bookmarked and come back to it all the time!
Excellent and very clear. I wish you had shown it starting with the tent still erect, but I assume getting to your starting point is simple and obvious (don't have this tent; thinking about it).
Thank you so much!! Especially for the slow motion part. It took a few times but we got it.

Thank you so much....I have been fighting that thing for over an hour.
Thank You! This is the best and easiest way yet.
Thank you thank you! You and CZcams just saved my night!!!

Definitely not the way I was trying to do it. Haha thank you! This helped a lot.
Sir, I believe you deserve a Nobel peace award for this video.
Good video, helped with folding my tanning tent, thank you :)
Thank you ! could not figure it out! You made it simple! Piece of cake now!
Wow thanks for the simple but effective trick!
Thank you sooo much mister!
Thanks to your video I was able to fold mine up in seconds. Thank you! Of course now my the wires in two if my panels seem to have mis-adjusted themselves so it's impossible. Waaah!
Thank you, Master!
Ok this guy knows the real technique 😂 ty 👍
I like this way better because it doesn’t get dirty on the ground. Haven’t tried it yet but looks right.

Thank you. Much better than the instructions...
What is the weight of the tent?
OH MY GOODNESS!!! THANK YOU!!!
How do you get it flat first and foremost?
