Coleman Back Home Instant Screen House 12 x 10 Review 3-Minute Setup

First, the cheap fiberglass poles get snagged when pushing them into the sleeves. The poles also use a pin setup instead of the grommet setup seen on all the other tents in our lineup. 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.

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. So the fabric elements are separately removable and you can use this structure as a gazebo with the frame and roof only. With the net in place, you have two access points with vertical zippers, the doors are on the opposite sides.

The Woodlands Screen House uses six lightweight aluminum poles, just like the Screen House Shelter. Like the REI model, the L.L.Bean tent uses polyester (ripstop, in this case), which is more resistant to UV damage and absorbs less moisture than nylon by weight. The Woodlands Screen House also has the advantage of eight guylines, whereas the Screen House Shelter includes none. In addition, this model has the same bug-deterring flap of fabric along the base as the REI tent, but while the REI’s flap is about 9 inches wide, the L.L.Bean’s flap is about 10½ inches wide.

The tent is easy to erect with its cross frame and assist function, even by one person. It also features side windows that can be opened to let light in as needed. For optimal cooling, the tent can be used with a reversible fan ventilation (sold separately) that allows outside air to flow into the tent, creating a cooler space with the power of the wind. It’s 10 x 10 feet and 7 feet tall, with an easy one-minute set-up that could qualify it as one of the instant tents.

Some of the dome types have seen being used at restaurants in their patios. I would use for extra cover over my Dodge van, and extra cover over any of my tent collections and just in yard. Overall, the Ozark has the most reasonable price if you’re searching for the best screen tent in 2021. The slanted design does mean slightly less than 100 square feet of usable space inside. But it’s still spacious and only weighs a total of 17 pounds.

It has two doors for access in and out and sets up in three steps, taking only three minutes. Because of its durability, shape, and size, the tent is on the heavy side at 45.2 pounds. But for simple portability and storage, it comes with an easy-pull coleman instant tent wheeled carry bag that fits inside most vehicles. Bulk items will only be delivered within a 100km radius of the Store. The tent has an inner size of approximately 300 x 250 x 175(h)cm and a body size of approximately 560 x 340 x 215(h)cm.

On the other end of the weight spectrum, the Alvantor is the best tent if you’re looking for the lightest available that also features a large usable space. Its extra weight makes it sturdier to withstand strong winds and heavy rain. The Gazelle is nearly the same usable size than the CLAM and it has all of the same high-end key features.
