It takes just about three minutes and three steps to set up 90 sq. Find shelter from the sun, wind, and bugs with a Coleman Instant Up Screen House. Easy to set-up in less than 3 minutes with pre-attached poles, the Screen House features a UV Guard canopy, No-See-Um mesh, and two awnings for maximum protection from nature and the elements. Fiberglass poles, cheap mesh, and tarp-like flooring are connected by mid-grade zippers and inverted seams (instead of the superior seam-seal).
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 cap-like roofs on both models provided far less shade than we wanted, especially in the beating desert sun. The mesh walls do have a ribbon of polyester at the foot, but even carefully staked they can leave gaps at the ground; if bug protection is your main concern, these tents would likely fall short. Finally, these shelters feel noticeably smaller than any of our picks.
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 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.
The size of this tent and the mesh-covered vestibule are great for a family. Four people and furry friends will easily fit with some extra room leftover. Storage is a problem with this tent, however, because it only comes with two pockets but because the vestibule isn’t properly protected from the rain.
This 2-room tent is designed to provide a comfortable and cool interior space, thanks to its ventilation function. It features Darkroom technology that blocks sunlight, allowing you to sleep in comfort and coolness. It also includes a canopy, cord pullout, lantern hanger, mesh door, ventilation, storm guard, mesh pocket, side window, and a hanging coleman screen tent inner tent. The tent is also equipped with a wide air mesh for improved ventilation performance, allowing outside air in and discharging heat and humidity trapped inside the tent. The Darkroom roof fly blocks sunlight and cools the living room during the day. The Coleman Screened Canopy Tent is easily portable, weighing only three pounds.
This polyester material is less susceptible to UV damage than the nylon that previous versions of this tent incorporated, but it generally has a feel that is not quite as soft. Despite the change in fabric, this REI shelter still weighs just 13 pounds, several pounds less than many coleman ice chest others of this type. The REI Co-op Screen House Shelter is easy to set up and pleasant to use, providing good protection from bugs, sun, and gentle rain showers. A high ceiling makes the tent feel brighter and more airy than other camping shelters with a similar footprint.
As mentioned before, the door on the Evanston only opens halfway. This means getting your gear in and out of the tent is much harder than it should be. Add only two pockets and a weight of 20.9 lbs, and you get a tent that scores very low in the ease of use category.

The Alvantor Pop-Up Screen House Tent might just be the best screen tent for camping because of its unique shape and low weight of 15 pounds. This quick-setup tent is perfect for summer evenings without bugs. You can even purchase an optional floor, genuinely bringing the indoors outside. The best screen tents for camping should accommodate six adults but still weigh less than 40 pounds.
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.
