Pads side by side at their listed sizes, with the average man (5 ft 9 in) lying on each. "Tight" is under an inch to a wall or the sloping roof: the fabric gives, but a wet wall wets what touches it. Open it in TentCheck to try your own pads, cots and gear, or read how fits are checked.

| Standing room | 31.2 sq ft at 5 ft 9 in, 42.7 sq ft at 5 ft 3.5 in |

On the campsite
Floor and vestibules together cover 208.1 × 97 in. On a square tent pad, as campgrounds list them: 8 × 8 ft: doesn't fit; 10 × 10 ft: doesn't fit; 12 × 12 ft: doesn't fit. Guylines and stakes need more room around that.
For a groundsheet, cut it a little smaller than the floor, about 2 in, so rain running off the fly doesn't collect on it and run under the tent: about 118 × 95 in.
Notes
Floor 120 × 97 in, 77 in peak (6 ft 5 in, standing height for most), front and rear doors and a 35.08 ft² pole-supported vestibule that REI says fits two camp chairs.

Roof shapes are modeled from the floor, the peak and how the poles hold the walls, not measured. Treat a result within an inch or two as too close to call.
