That’s what Eureka had in mind when designing this screen house. And with reflective guylines, webbing, and 16 aluminum hook stakes, you can rest assured this screen house will stand still even in windy weather. If these issues sound all too familiar, I’ll let you in on a little secret. All of this can be avoided by simply getting yourself a camping screen house.
This CLAM screen tent boasts 110 square feet, on the upper end in size. Fiberglass poles, cheap mesh, and tarp-like flooring are connected by mid-grade zippers and inverted seams (instead of the superior seam-seal). The bag is also poor quality and will inevitably require ducktape after the first or second season. The stakes and guylines seem adequate for the tent, and the rainfly, though frustrating to set up, is made of polyester taffeta 75D. It’s designed to be used in nice weather, but it also has good UV protection.
This is suitable even for elderly users, no need to raise your arms high up, telescopic legs allow you to do everything easily. I already gave the link above with the setup instructions so have a look. This Coleman 15 x 13 Instant Screen House is incredibly easy to use with its telescopic steel poles and pre-attached frame. It offers lots of space protected from insects for up to 6 people. Look at the materials the tents are made from and the features they offer.
Some of the great things about dome tents are, that they are for, the most part light, making them simple to carry. In near all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are generally speaking, freestanding and very easy to set up. In good weather, you could do without securing the tent with stakes and ropes, not that this is suggested. Some tents feature accordion-style supports and telescoping legs, and they set up in an instant with a little bit of help. Others with pop-up wire frames are simple to expand but don’t offer much support in wind or rain.
However, if you want to buy the best screen tent on the market, the Clam Quick-Set Escape is the tent to go for. It comes in four sizes, ranging from small (6×6 ft) to extra large (12.5×12.5 ft). Do note that only the tan-colored “pavilion” coleman screen tent edition comes with retractable side panels. If you’re deathly afraid of bugs, consider this one person pop up to sleep in atop your cot. If you already have a frame and just need the bug mesh walls, this budget option may be right for you.
The Coleman Instant Screen House is easily portable, weighing in at only three pounds. Hanging out in here, you’ll find shelter from the sun, wind, and bugs. It sets up in about a minute and is made of durable Polyguard double-thick fabric. It’s easy to set up with one person in under 10 minutes and comes with a floor.
