Won't ever camp without one of these again.
David KIM•July 2, 2017
Bought this based on other user reviews. I was very nervous about buying it, but the specs and look told me that it would be great. Just went camping in Yosemite for 2 days and found that it worked great. It was solid and easily fit around the picnic tables with 2 feet to spare on even the longest ends. See included pictures. It was easy to put together and pack up. It was awesome to be able to sit there with thousands of bugs around me outside of the tent and yet have very little bugs in my face. I hardly wanted to leave the confines of the tent. For awhile, the sun hit the tent directly and there was no wind. I baked in there and it was miserable. The mesh held the heat until a light breeze came through. So don't look at the whole thing as a 100% protection from sun either. My other negative points are as follows: From the top to the first magnet, there was a 1 inch gap that let it bugs on a somewhat regular basis. Wish there were a way to fix that. Bugs land on the screen and start crawling and then they reach the crack and come right in. After leaving for a day, there were probably 50-6- small flying bugs buzzing around under the canopy. So my first tip when getting this thing is to have a bug spray with you. You'll spray all over the under canopy to kill all the bugs, let them drop and enjoy the bug free space again. The other problem I had was with the uneven floor leaving gaps under the tent walls for bugs to get in. Having mentioned all these negatives, I would buy this tent again without hesitation. It is strong, held off 98% of the bugs and was so easy to get in and out of with the magnet enclosures.
Update 8/11
I went back and read some recent reviews. I want to comment on some of their points
1) You could do the setup with 1 person, but it's risky. The tent poles are strong, but I wouldn't say they were so strong as to sustain heavy pressure while waiting for you to run around and adjust the test and poles as it's coming up. I suspect that some people do try to do it as a 1 person job. I'm confident that this would be the cause of 70% of the damage in setting this thing up. I'm a big strong guy and I admit that this tent demands a minimum of 2 people to setup so as not to apply excessive pressure on the poles cuz they do bend when the other 3 sides are awaiting for their poles. Even if you insert all the poles while the tent is on it's side and then tilt it up, I can see that the odds of breaking a pole or permanently bending one is pretty moderate.. See the pictures of my original post and you'll see that 1 -2 of them have a slight bend. But that's because the tent was on a slanted foundation so the whole tent was wanting to tilt backwards. The same is true about breaking down the tent. Get careless and your bound to break something. The tent box/bag it came in was already quite big. I think it's crazy to demand solid poles or the weight of the whole kit would be unmanageable. I think the whole kit is a good even balance of function and weight.
2) Stability - There are long strings that one is supposed to use to stability the tent on each corner in wind. I didn't set them up cuz we didn't have much mind. But I can see that it would be dumb not to use them. Again, from the pictures and comments of others on their reviews, it seems like they didn't make the effort to use the included support lines.
3) Bugs - I admittedly was surprised to see some bugs get in cuz I wanted a bug free environment. but, I think some people can too bent out of shape by even seeing a few since they did spend the money to buy this thing. I think a 100% bug free environment is unrealistic. You need to bring a can of Raid or bug spray to "refresh" /cleanup the number of bugs flying around every so often. The way I see it, there are so few bugs in the tent that when even of a few get in, it's extremely noticeable. If you want a bug free environment, stay in the car or your home. This is a great solution for the outdoors to greatly reduce bugs landing on you. This is not a miracle tent for "bug -free" I don't think any tent can be that.
4) I think the top part of the magnet closure is a real problem for me. The top 6-8 inches really doesn't close well and there is no solution. Some people suggest not setting the tent so tight so as to cause the pull that opens this gap. I would argue against that solution because I didn't do anything to "over-tighten" the tent and it still had the gap. It's so tight in that area that I don't even know if additional agents would help. The more I think about it, I think the only solution is to bring safety pins to close that part and deal with a lower entry or to sew that section closed. The magnets would have been nicer if they were 25-35% bigger. They are big enough to work and once you close the top one, the rest fall into place like an imaginary zipper is closing. So that's cool. But nearly every time you leave the tent, you have to pause and close that top magnet to get it to self seal. I feel that if the magnets were bigger and heaver, the tent would auto-seal without needing initial help to close. maybe if that first could of magnets were 40% bigger might solve the whole problem. Hmm, I think I'll mcgyver me a solution and try this myself.
I don't work for this company, but I think there are lot of overly demanding customers that are expecting too much from this thing and rather than taking responsibility for their product abuse, are trying to poo poo a product that doesn't deserve the ridicule it's been getting.

Works wonderful! Definitely a two person assembly but was up in 15m. Keeps all the bugs out and holds up against the wind. Has plenty of space and the magnet doors close every time for us.

Got this screen tent in February when it was on sale. Went to put it up in April to check it out and the fabric was ripped. Missed my window to return the item. Now I have a screen tent I can't use.
Tailgaterz screenroom is the bomb!
Craig R.•February 6, 2017
Super nice screen room but will require at least two if not three people to set up. Nice and roomy and the Magnetic doors are the bomb
It's also good for keeping all the falling leaves and flowers off ...

I have this set up on my back flowered vine covered deck to have a bug free eating area outside. It's also good for keeping all the falling leaves and flowers off the table and food as well. The magnetic screens are bonus when we're carrying the food in and out of the house and keeps us from fumbling with zippers on most screened tents, especially since our youngest can never decide if she wants in our out of the sitting area.
