The instant-up tent boasts PU water resistance and a seam-sealed flysheet, promising a dry and bug-free camping experience. While we can't confirm it matches the durability of its pricier counterparts, it more than makes up for it with its unbeatable bang for buck.

Judging by reviews of previous iterations of the Aldi instant-up tent, it's likely to be a hit.

One satisfied customer who purchased the Aldi six-person instant-up tent in January 2023 posted his review of the item, stating, "Easy to set up, no issues, no leaks. Pretty sure this is a knock off oztrail fast frame tent but at a third the price."

It's safe to assume the new version will likely be quite similar, just on a larger scale!

For those of us more accustomed to plush hotel rooms than the insides of tents, what exactly is an instant-up tent?

Well, it's pretty much what it sounds like—a tent that can be set up in about three minutes, thanks to a frame that instantly pops up for a hassle-free setup; no fiddly bits or difficult instructions. This news is a dream come true for anyone who has wrestled with setting up or taking down a tent in windy weather or dwindling daylight.

But that's not all, Aldi is about to have an entire middle aisle littered with camping goodies on the cheap.
