Coleman Shelter 15X13 Instant Screen Hexagon 2000004414

Product Information

It comes complete with stakes, guy-out cord, repair patches, and a duffel storage bag, providing everything you need to set up your outdoor oasis. No-see-um mesh screen and an extra-wide skirt keep you bug-free inside, while the 210 denier Poly-Oxford fabric roof with taped seams offers additional shelter from the elements. While it’s one of the most affordable options on our list, I personally struggle to fold structures like this correctly (some users reported the same issue), so it didn’t make it to the top of our list.

This screen house is easy to use and set up. You can pop it open and fold it up in a matter of minutes. However, you should note that this tent is not recommended for use when wind force reaches level 6.

As for fabric materials, the walls are mesh, and the fabric top has UPF 50+ protection, but it’s not waterproof. Other features to keep the tent stable in the wind include four sandbags, metal stakes, and guylines. To summarize, the tent protects well against the sun and stays still in the wind but doesn’t keep water out. The Verdict What makes the Northern Breeze particularly stand out to us, however, is its outstanding versatility: Each of the four side panels can be rolled up and stashed away for a classic screen house experience, or you can roll them down and secure them in place for a 100% waterproof safe haven in bad weather. Eureka even designed each of the side panels to function as convertible awnings and included three additional aluminum poles in the bag so you’ve got everything you need to set one up as well. The other main part of the comfort equation is height, and once again, we generally apply the same rules here we apply to a large camping tent: You’re going to want to be able to stand up and move around freely inside without touching the ceiling. Ideally we look for a screen house with around seven feet of peak height, as this leaves room in the ceiling to hang a lantern or two without impacting head room. Weather Resistance

If you want to be able to walk around inside your screen house without bending over, the Coleman Screened Canopy Tent is for you. Its design makes it feel spacious even though the floor space isn’t the largest, and the canopy protects you well from the sun.

When this weather comes you do not want a cheap tent. Cheap tents will collapse more easily, they are less durable, and you will probably need to replace them sooner.The best screen houses for camping – no matter what kind of adventure you have planned in the wild. For smaller groups of 4-6 people, we’ve found the best screen houses for camping are around 10’ x 10’. This leaves enough room for a standard camp table, plus room for everyone to sit, with space left over to walk around the table without being too cramped. Any more than 6 campers and you’ll likely want a bit more square footage, so plan accordingly. Screen tents are also more breathable since air can flow through the mesh net freely. But regular tents tend to protect against water and wind better since they have a more shielded design. Many mesh houses come without floors as well, while a tent floor is standard with a regular tent. What To Consider When Buying a Screen Tent Tired of mosquitoes biting your arms, gnats buzzing your ears, and flies circling your camp kitchen? We’re right there with you, and a good screen house is the best solution we’ve found when the weather gets warm and the bugs come out of hiding.

Stretch your legs in the generous 6-foot walk-in height and enjoy plenty of space to stand up and move around with the 92-inch peak height. But the YDYL screenhouse offers the most durable option out of these screen tents. Customers have found that it’s a strong enough screenhouse to withstand fairly regular use in Summer.
