It can also leave the screen house feeling a little claustrophobic. It’s also one of the very few screen houses to come with an attachable floor. You can leave this off if you’ve brought a picnic table inside or attach it to the tent if you want to walk around in your socks.
The durable nylon-mesh fabric boasts water-resistant construction to keep people and items dry in light rains. Additionally, the built-in roof flaps feature drip edges to prevent rain from running down the side panels. Should the sun pop out after the rain, the roof’s polyester fabric protects not only from rain but coleman sundome UV rays as well. The entire screen tent folds into an oversized carrying bag and weighs just 37 pounds. This screen tent features a traditional fiberglass pole setup, but it’s easily accomplished in under one minute. Both the tent and poles collapse to fit in a carrying bag similar to a medium-size duffel bag.
The carefree room is a very thick material and looks like it will stand up well. There are gaps in the corners where it meets with the rv and awning. We will play around with it and see if we can eliminate them. I do with the flaps to close the windows were on the inside but it isn’t a huge issue. You probably already have too much stuff, so your screen tent should be spacious enough to entertain but compact enough to store. A tent that comes with a storage bag makes it both portable and simple to store.
Straight wall screen houses are best for those who want to maximize the usable space inside the house. Most shelters for camping have about 100 square feet of floor space. The CAMPROS screen house weighs 22 pounds, which is middle of the road compared to other shelters for camping. One thing I also like about this screen house is the wheeled carrying bag (which helps relieve the high weight).
That being said screen houses are, of course, also far less weather resistant. This screen house is also fairly spacious, with a base area of 99 sq ft and a peak height of 7.5’. Like the previous model I mentioned, it also features a straight-wall design, making the space inside feel more open. You should keep in mind that, while this screen house is marketed as suitable for 8+ people, it’s more appropriate to call it a 6-person model. With a 100-square feet area, it’s hard to imagine how that many people can fit in. With three poles available, it provides plenty of space for you to place the table and chairs.
We do appreciate your feedback especially if you have used it before. Share with us your experience in the comment section below and help other outdoor enthusiasts make the best choice. It is a little bit expensive but its worth every penny you spend. If you’re concerned about continuous and long-term use, for example, to put it up in the garden it may not be the best choice. It does not look great at first, but the pre-attached poles make a lot of sense.
Because screen shelters that come with floor kits don’t have fully-sealed ‘bathtub’ style waterproof floors like true camping tents, some water can get underneath the walls. A screen tent or screen house is a tent-like structure with mesh walls and a solid fabric roof for shade and rain protection. Any $75 canopy tent from a big-box store—we’re talking about the common square canopy with four spindly metal legs—can provide shade during midday. But when you’re camping or eating outdoors, you’ll likely want protection from insects, as well. That’s why we focused on collapsible camping shelters with mesh walls to keep bugs at bay.
Often, there will be a YouTube video tutorial on setting up your model of screen house if you need some extra help. The remainder of the shelter body is made of 150D polyesters (also reasonably heavy duty) with a PU 2000 mm waterproof rating. The Wenzel Magnetic Screen House is a lightweight and large screen shelter with two magnetic doors. Finally, you’ll have a little under 100 square feet of usable space due to the sloped wall design. Ozark Trail is a brand well-known for its affordable products, and this camping screen house is no different. And especially with the rain panels down, wind can hit the side of the screen house and may cause some jostling.
Note the size of the tent when collapsed to be sure you have the space available to store it in your RV. Take note of the peak height of any screen room you’re considering, especially if you or any of your family members are tall. If you want to be able to stand up in the tent, height will matter a lot. First, you’ll need to ask yourself how many people or how much “stuff” you plan to accommodate inside the tent. If, for example, there are two of you planning to use the screen house, you’ll want to be able to fit your chairs inside comfortably with room to spare.
