A high ceiling makes the tent feel brighter and more airy than other camping shelters with a similar footprint. Our favorite canopy tent is a simply designed, comfortable shelter that offers protection from bugs, sun, and rain. The screen area is not floored, so you can use your camping furniture in it without being worried about the floor. It provides protection from flying insects, and it is with a roof so you can sit in the shade and use the area for cooking as well. I have included it in my list of best family camping tents with a screen porch.
Interest does not accrue during the period of the plan. There is no administration fee charged for entering into a special payments plan. Each month during an equal payments plan you are required to pay in full by the due date that month’s equal payments plan instalment. The L.L.Bean Woodlands Screen House has a much more consistently glowing history of online reviews than does the REI tent. The add-on rain fly and tent-floor combo is also well liked. The Woodlands Screen House uses six lightweight aluminum poles, just like the Screen House Shelter.
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. The Clam also sets up and folds down with remarkable speed—we timed ozark trail screen house the process at 60 seconds. However, this model is too big to fit in the trunks of most sedans, and the muted colors look good when it’s sunny but can feel a bit gloomy if it’s already rainy out.
Fellow campers and sun-baked spectators consistently gravitated toward the REI shelter over the L.L.Bean. Though the two tents have the same footprint, the REI’s roof is 6 inches taller; we found that the higher ceiling made the REI shelter feel significantly roomier inside. The six-pole structure is intuitive to figure out. In our tests one camper took less than 10 minutes to put it up on the first try. Two shorter aluminum poles cross to support the roof while four longer poles join to the roof poles at the top of the tent and slide into pegs at the ground. The tent roof is made of polyester taffeta treated with a DWR (durable water repellent) coating.
I was told to try and return it to the place I purchased it or wait the 4-6 weeks. Well I’m a camper and I intend to use this weekly. A gust of wind probably around 50 MPH took it down.
The mesh doesn’t seem particularly durable, and given the cap-like roof, the shade provided is much more limited than with our top-pick tents. In early March, we took our second trip to the oceanside Sycamore Canyon Campground (PDF) near Oxnard, California. There we encountered mild temperatures in the 50s and 60s. A later check of the weather at nearby Point Mugu Naval Air Station confirmed top recorded wind gusts of 40 miles per hour. 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). However, don’t expect much privacy if you’re sleeping in a screen tent due to the mesh walls.
Broke all four corner hubs and bent all 1b poles beyond repair. Now unable to get all the parts I need to make it worth repairing. 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.
I already gave a few alternatives in the comparison table above. If you need more, just look around in this site, it is all about family camping tents and you will find something for you. Check this Coleman 12 Person Skydome XL Tent which is officially with the same capacity but an extended dome tent. In summary, this Ozark Trail 12-Person Cabin Tent with Screen Porch is nicely designed and the price is appropriate. Also, it would be great if the manufacturer provided some reliable information about its fabric and rating, this is disappointing. So do not put it to harsh tests, this is a tent for quiet summer weather conditions.
