The Tailgaterz is the best screen tent for you if you go in and out of your screen tent a lot or like to have your hands full carrying food and drinks. The transport bag has wheels so that extra weight won’t feel that much heavier. The assembly is also easy at 45 seconds and weighs only 34 pounds for easy transport.
Both sizes offer a lot of usable space and the 10 x 10 is only 25 pounds. The benefits are the easy pop-up installation and fold down, and even come in smaller sizes at even lighter weights if that makes more sense for you. It’s even spacious enough to fit a full-size picnic table inside for 6-8 people, which is helpful when eating in a humid, bug-infested campsite.
This instantly downloadable ebook is a seven-day guided exploration of the Michigan Upper Peninsula. Rather than fiddling with a zipper to keep the bugs out, you can be hands-free entering and exiting. The magnets will help automatically close the door behind you.
Bugs are tiny; they can crawl under almost anything, so with all the above, you can create a lovely outdoor space without them. So this Coleman Back Home Instant Screen House is really nicely built and it looks cool. It is incredibly tall and even the doors are with a stand-up height. It is heavy but the wheeled carry bag helps when you transport it around.
The Screen House Shelter packs into a reasonably roomy drawstring bag with a strap that makes the canopy tent much easier to transport than tents, like the L.L.Bean, that lack a strap. We eliminated canopies that were not big enough to comfortably shelter a picnic table, concluding that a table is probably the number-one coleman ice chest spot where campers would place such a structure. We also eliminated bulky, heavy shelters that are intended to be used as semipermanent backyard fixtures. A lower roof makes this shelter feel notably smaller than our top pick, but it’s also durably made and ready to pair with a superior rain fly (sold separately).

We also tested and liked the Coleman Mountain View 12 x 12 Screendome Shelter; it was an also-great pick until Coleman discontinued the model. The Coleman Back Home Screenhouse is the next level up for Coleman screen tents. This gazebo-style screen house adds beauty and functionality to any event, whether camping or in your backyard. It also has a doubled-up heavy-duty Polyguard fabric, so you and your camping guests will be protected from the sun, wind, and bugs. The Clam Quick-Set Escape was by far the toughest canopy tent we tested. It’s made with reinforced polyester and heavyweight no-see-um mesh, and it comes with the strongest stakes we’ve seen on any tent.
While the price of this tent is low, so is the quality and overall design. It fell short in every category and scored among the worst in our entire lineup. This could perhaps provide good value if you are looking for a fair-weather tent for a bug-heavy area. But for most normal camping conditions, the value just isn’t there. If you are looking for a budget 6-person tent, we are sorry, but this isn’t the one we would recommend. It was very easy to install and creates so much more space!
It always cost more than our top pick, but the price has gone up another $150 since we first tested it. ● conditions, malfunctions or damage not resulting from defects in material or workmanship What do you have to do?
