The Coleman 10’x10′ Instant Screened Shelter provides an easy, convenient shelter — at the BBQ, the campsite, sporting events, or wherever you want some reliable cover from the sun. The Shelter’s sturdy telescoping-pole frame sets up quickly and easily in under 3 minutes, giving you an instant 10’x10′ shelter with a generous seven-foot center height. The No-See-Um mesh wall keeps insects out, and features two doors for convenience. The Shelter’s heavy-duty 150D poly oxford canopy features SPF 5
Easy, Inexpensive, Portable bug protection,
I can set this up by myself. It is faster with 2 people. I have used it for lounging in my open garage. I intend to use it for camping and for lounging, reading, etc. on my deck at home. It is a SCREEN shelter so don’t expect it to protect you from rain. You would not get wet only if the rain is not driven and you are directly under the center of the shelter (an area less than 10’x10′- maybe 7’x7′). I intend to use a shade (maybe an emergency solar blanket)to block the sun on one side when necessary. There is a loop in the top center from which a light or fan could be hung. Guylines are attached to each corner. There are flaps at the bottom of each wall that can fit inside or outside. There is no floor. Front and back door zippers reach all the way to the ground. There are no vents in the ceiling. After folding, roll it on the ground with light pressure to get it narrow enough to fit back in the storage bag. The storage bag is not wheeled as indicated on Coleman’s website.
On a deck guylines can be tied to weights or to planks in the deck. Use a ground cover to keep bugs out.
On the ground guylines can be staked; use a ground cover
On concrete the guylines can be tied to weights; weights along the bottom tent flaps keep bugs from crawling underneath.

Easy to use,
This is the third screen house I have tried. It is the easiest, by far. By myself, I can put it up in about 5 minutes. And, I’m a short, old lady. I highly recommend it.

Coleman screen tent from Amazon. Easy useful screen tent,
I purchased this screen tent because the product material and reviews said how easy it was to set up and because I desparately needed a place to escape the mosquitoes in my backyard. My sister and I set it up in a few minutes on my back patio. You have to make sure the poles are on the outside. The way it comes packed in the box doesn’t make you realize that. We had 75-mile-an-hour storm winds twice in two weeks and it didn’t wreck the thing. The stakes that come with the tent are not helpful to keep the tent grounded. However, one reviewer said they used heavier tent stakes. I did a combo of that and filling up empty 1-gallon water bottles and tying the corners of the tent to those. That worked pretty well. I am very happy with this purchase. It did just what I needed. I have my patio table and 4 chairs in there with plenty of room around it and no mosquitoes in it.
