Alvantor Pop Up Screen Tent House Room Instant Outdoor Camping Canopy Sun Shelter Gazebo for Patio, Backyard & Deck, Privacy Tent(2-10 People, 8'x8' 10'x10' 12'x12')

I have a hammock that has a screen netting. But sometimes I just want to set outside using my existing patio furniture. So I wanted something that provided protection from the bugs.I’ve had a more permanent gazebo with netting but it limited where I could be on the deck. So I wanted something more flexible and wasn’t a permanent structure.This pop up tent was the answer to my outdoor needs. It allowed me to have shade and protection from bugs anywhere on my deck.Now I can enjoy the outdoors in peace.PROS- easy to open and set up.- Great protection from bugs and the sun.- Can be used anywhere such as your deck, patio or grass. Has accessories to keep it grounded.- Instructions on how to close it are attached to the bag so you can’t forget or lose them.- nice carry bag- Compact enough to hide when not in use or to carry to sporting or outdoor events.- Big enough for two people when opened.CONS- Wish it could be broken down to make it even smaller so I could put it in a regular suitcase when traveling.- if this is not secured down with the included ropes or putting some weights at the bottom like a chair or sandbag, winds can carry this away. But easy to fix this.Overall this a great pop up canopy tent. I was surprised how easy it was to close back up and put in the bag. But the directions and video make it easy. And the poles naturally want to go back to their positions so that makes it easy. I highly recommend this.

This gazebo offers plenty of space, making it perfect for setting up a hammock, a table with chairs, or a cozy seating area. Assembly is straightforward, though having two people helps a lot since pulling from opposite sides makes it easier to pop open. Folding it back down is just as simple once you get the hang of it. One thing to note is that it arrives double-folded, so the first time you open it, it will spring open with some force—be ready for it and stand back. Overall, a great screened shelter for the backyard or patio.

This is going to be a great addition for enjoying our mosquito filled yard when warmer weather arrives! We recently had a couple warm days, so I set it up to check it out for any flaws and found none. I also wanted to see about the difficulty in refolding it and what to do about weights to hold it in place. It came with four sand bags which should provide enough weight once they are filled with sand. In the meantime three old dumbell five pound weights did the trick on a breezy day. I set it up the next day to air out a bit and for us to enjoy a glass of wine and appetizers outside. It is a perfect size for the two of us and a small table. The mesh is a no-see-um style, quite fine, which cuts down on the breeze getting through. That's great on a 62 degree day, but I think I'd like more air movement on a hot summer day. The second time I used the screenhouse it took roughly two minutes to set up including placing some weights and about 45 seconds to take it down and fold it up plus another minute to put the strap on it and put it in the carry bag. That's exactly what I was looking for, something quick and easy to put up and take down so that we don't have to leave it up all the time. This particular size came folded up one extra time at the factory making it appear much smaller than the included carry bag. After the first use, just fold it once in a figure 8 and it fits the bag just right. At this point the only thing that I don't like is the strap that holds it in a closed folded position. It comes with an adjustable stlye buckle which remains connected in a loop at all times. I think I'd prefer one with a quick release buckle. It appears durable, but I would not set it up on concrete or asphalt. That would quickly chew up the nylon on the bottom of the structure where pole run through under significant pressure. It seems like a well thought out and well constructed screenhouse and I look forward to using it frequenty when warmer weather arrives.

Mosquito in Texas are hard to avoid. They make your outdoors activities unbearable. But not when you use this cute screen house!It comes folded in a zipped carry bag. It weights 9lb and diameter is 43", so make sure it will fit into you car (although it bends a bit) if you want to take it for travel.The folding/unfolding is a bit tricky, so watch the video provided by a seller & there are more videos on YouTube. Once you get a hang of it, it's a few seconds job. Really easy, but you need to practice it few times.The tent is sturdy and provides a total enclosure. Entrance is zipped. The net all around gives you an unobstructed view, great ventilation and UV protection.It could be secured with sandbags, but it's not recommended to use on really windy days. It gives you some protection from a light drizzle, but is not waterproof.It's 6'6" high so even tall people don't need to bend inside. And with 6' circle area it's spacious enough for a small table and 2-3 folding chairs.I am using it on my patio, when I want to sit down with a cool drink and read a book or do some work on the computer. You can set up a baby crib or a small playground for your toddler.Did I mention NO MOSQUITOS to bother you while you work or relax?That's the main reason why I bought it, and it works perfectly.Try it and you won't be disappointed.
