Camping Gear Review: Coleman Instant Screen House, Keep Away Bugs and Hide from the Sun

Note that the packed size is 48 x 13.8 x 10.2 inches (122 x 35 x 26 cm) so it is quite long when packed. It comes with a wheeled carry bag for relatively easy transport. Note that the mentioned area more or less corresponds to the shade that this screen house offers, the walls are completely vertical, see the picture below. You have telescoping poles and they are easy to extend and to lock into place thanks to what they call pinch-free Comfort Grip technology. Note that the poles are with large feet so that the structure can stand on while you set it up. There are three main elements here, the frame, the roof, and the screen around.

Even if you never set it up, it’s nice to have this option in your car in case the park you are visiting is particularly buggy or in case of rain.

The poles also use a pin setup instead of the grommet setup seen on all the other tents in our lineup. Once the poles are on, it’s time to move on to the fly. However, you can’t put the fly on without fully staking the entire tent first. But because Coleman uses cheap elastic straps that clip to rings attached next to the poles, it is very hard to clip everything when under tension.

We believe in offering the very best value, quality, and selection. Refunds are issued to the original form of payment, unless returned in store coleman screen tent where some exclusions may apply. Refunds are issued to the original form of payment, unless returned in store

The Evanston is a solid dome design with a fairly low profile and heavily slanted walls. It also comes pre-installed with guylines and a full set of totally adequate stakes, so this tent passed our wind tests quite well. Thanks to all of the open mesh and optional window covers, it is extremely well-ventilated with or without the rainfly. With 90 sq ft of interior space and an additional 40 sq ft of vestibule space, you will have plenty of square footage. The main tent will easily fit a full and a twin air mattress, while the vestibule will hold two chairs, a table, and then some. However, both areas are short, with a max height of 5′ 8″ — which is only at the top dead center. The vestibule area is a little shorter than that at 5′ 4″, forcing most campers to duck and change sitting down.
