will this tent work in ohio or just montana ?

I bought this for my son & his girlfriend to use at a music festival in Tennessee!!! Tennessee is nowhere near Montana!! Do you think they could trick the tent into believing it is in Montana by hanging posters of the Rockies on nearby trees?

Since the main gripe has to do with weatherproofing on this tent...is there a way to prep the rain fly to keep it dry inside?

I use tents a lot. Properly set up, guy lines secured, this tent does leak even after water proofing. It may hold in a light sprinkle, but any constant drizzle or short showers, you will be soaked. Even after water proofing it. The tent is nice sized but you will get soaked. Mine is now in the trash. If you want real water proof, you’re spending 1500 or more on a canvas tent that needs water proffing but they work much better.

I have only used this tent twice why is it leaking on the sides and through the floor?

You need to use a footprint (tarp) and trench around the tent. You should also set the tent up before using it in the field and use seam sealer on it. Follow the directions on the bottle. Some tents even come with a small bottles of it but its not expensive. This advice goes with just about every tent made of nylon.

If i was going to lay a tarp down first before setting the tent up(so nothing pokes through bottom), how big of a tarp would i need?

I used a 10x16 tarp, but it needed to be folded a little so it was completely hidden under the tent. The perfect size would be 15x6 if you could find it.If any part of the tarp sticks out from under the tent when it is raining, the rain will roll down the side of the tent onto the tarp causing it to pool up on the tarp under the tent. The bottom of your tent will get soaked!
