Keeps sun and bugs at bay which was my main reason for buying it. Seems harder to take down than to put up. The way the poles clip into hubs is a little hard to get apart. It seems like I am the second person to review this product, and the second one to give it a 1 Star rating. Goes together well, but as soon as we got a little shower…. Total collapse, hubs (2) shattered and two sets of poles completely destroyed.
Absolutely no offer to resolve the issue. Absolutely no apology for the poor quality of the product. Find something simple to set up, reliable, durable and with product support.
I have large screen house and I love it. It gets used very hard every summer. It’s starting to wear out and I’m looking to replace but can’t find one anywhere. Can someone point me to the person please. I borrowed this screen tent and thought it was a pain to put up…the center hub broke forcing me to duck tape it to keep it together.
This product, when properly set up, is wonderful. I actually use mine in the yard in the areas where my trees don’t give shade. It’s ozark trail chairs starting to wear out and I’m looking to replace but can’t find one anywhere. Queen Bee has been one of my favorite pages to follow!
Now unable to get all the parts I need to make it worth repairing. It is of poor design, in that this could be avoided using 2 more yellow, curved roof poles which would not allow the rain to puddle on the roof. My husband and I were in the screen room, keeping the rain from puddling for more than a half hour. We will not replace the 3-way hubs again. The campground received a moderate rain on the second night and the roof collected water in several places, causing the screen house to collapse.
I had to use every knot I’ve learned from rock climbing. There’s shade, and fewer bugs than outside the screenhouse. I do have some reservations left, though. I wonder what will happen when the ozark trail canopy wind comes. Will I come home and just find the screenhouse gone, or will I see it blowing around in the street, trailing pipe segments? What about the rain, or the potential for 120-degree heat?
Shade can be a matter of survival there if you’re outside at midday. This product from the list of stuff that I wish I never had bought it would in the top two. Setting up the screenhouse you need an army of people to hold the frame in place to put the screen over. Then the hooks don’t even reach the holes at the bottom of the poles. Then if you can manage to get that far, you have to run like crazy to get it tied down before if falls over.
But, with determined hope, I began to wade through the instructions. I used the instructions that come with the products I’ve bought for starter firewood in ozark trail canopy my campfire. Queen Bee has saved me lots of money, but it’s also brightened many a days! A very nice selection of mostly new and slightly used, gift ideas.
