HASIKAScreen Camping Tent with Floor 4 Season 8x8ft Large Mesh Room Shelter Canopy for Outdoors Gazebo Outside Poles Excluded

My tent just arrived----very quick delivery----arrived sooner than predicted. I got this tent so that I could sit outside on my patio and read....without getting eaten alive by mosquitoes. My tent arrived yesterday, and rain is predicted for the next week....so I didn't want to set it up outside on my patio yet.....but I did want to see if I could actually put it together.....so I did a trial run and put it up in my basement. The tent seems very well made and has nice features such as a floor and 2 doors and toggles to hold the flaps of the windows up and the doors of the tent open if desired. The two poles that come with the tent are very long once they are put together (they connect very quickly), so to me, they are a bit cumbersome to work with, simply due to their length. They need to be long however as they arc up one side of the tent and then down the other. Once you put the two tent poles through the top loop of the tent, and then connect the fasteners from the tent to the poles (and secure the tent to the poles with the bottom metal round "hook" type piece which goes into the bottom of the poles to keep the tent from sliding up the poles) you're set. I placed gallon water jugs in the corners of the tent just to secure it a bit. When I set it up, it took me probably 15 min, but that was because it took me that long to realize I needed to secure the tent to the poles with the "hook" type piece at the end of each pole. Once I figured that out....I was good to go. Next time I should be able to get the tent up in probably 5 min. The tent is light weight and primarily mesh/screen, so it is not a heavy canvass tent material; it is more delicate, therefore, and careful handling is necessary to calmly work with the tent....you don't want to strong arm it like you might a heavy canvass tent. So far, I've only had it in my basement, but based on the trial set up and easy take down (easy to fold back up) I think it's going to work just fine on my patio and will hopefully give me years of mosquito free enjoyment. I can stand up comfortably inside the tent (I'm 5'4"). Once inside the tent, you can see through the screen perfectly as though the screen were a clear/glass window (even though the screen looks dark in the photos), My plan is to put an outdoor rug in the tent, my outdoor lounge chair and a small outdoor table. I plan to take the tent down when strong winds or heavy rain are forecast (which should not be a problem as dis-assembly is quick and easy, as is folding the tent for storage), and then bring it back out and set back up in nice weather.

This is a great Screened Canopy (during the day) as described...BUT we used it as a 'TENT' also and slept in it also at night when we don't sleep in the bed of the truck. We were camping in Southern CA AND Arizona Desert, so we did not endure any EXTREME weather and were very comfortable. We have used it twice now...once at a 3000ft elevation at Culp Valley Primitive Campground, CA 1/2021 and the second time Kofa National Wildlife Refuge, AZ 2/2021. We will update with any problems we have in the future.Here are some Pros and ConsPROSLightweight and easy to set-up. It can be set up by 1 person, but 2 will make it quickerHeadroom - I am 5'6" and the mr is 5'9" and we have plenty of room to stand tall and are able to move around freely in the room2-doors, entryways: This makes it very convenient to go in and out and access your equipment and supplies through any entry point4 full screen walls - this is great when the sun starts moving on you throughout the day, you can close wall/panels independently to keep coolKeep bugs out - screen provides a bug free environmentEnclosed floor - most screen room do not include a closed floor, this makes it great to keep everything contained and cleanStorage bag provided give you extra room to put other things inside, like a tarp/aka footprintCONSI gave it a 4 star for warmth, I don't think this canopy/tent will keep you warm in extreme weather if you are using it in the deep winter...anything below 40 degrees could be tough as an overnight shelterthe material is not the best quality, so thickness is a 4 star...BUT it is priced under $150!Zippers are flimsy...I can see if you are not gently and careful you could break or jam the zippersUpdated 3/1/2021We took the tent out for our 2nd camping trip and were in a wind storm. We set up the tent in the front yard to assess the tent (and sweep it out) a week later. We wanted to update you that all is good and in tact! The poles, zippers, ropes, fabric, etc...all held up very well! Since we had it set up I thought I would update it with more pictures. I still give it a 4 stars since the materials could be better, but it held up like a champ in the wind storm.

Set this up about 2 weeks ago and have been sleeping in it since with 2 small dogs. live in northern Calif so it's been hot but cool at nite outside. While it hasn't been tested yet for rain, the dogs love it & due to the floor, can't burrow out. Also the zippered doors keep them in. This is delicate tent, nicely sewn but materials are very light weight & time will tell how well it holds up. have it in the yard with a single cot against one side & there is plenty of room inside. At 5'3" can stand inside without crouching with inches to spare. It also has a hook in to hang tent light from.Set tent up in about 5 min. It has two long poles connected by bungee cords that cross over the tent top, with hooks that hold onto the poles on outside so makes for very easy setup.Inside there's plenty of air flow. At night the material is translucent that you can see the moon & trees through it. However, during the daytime it doesn't provide solid shade for the same reason.the four flaps that zip down & have spots of velcro along the sides make it much more versatile than a simple screen house. Leave one side down (toward the street) for privacy & still have plenty of air flow. When it was colder I zipped down another side or 2 to keep the heat in.very happy with size, could accommodate a couple too; & like it has a floor & two entrances too.
