Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Just came back from a 3 night camp trip. Our campsite did not have trees to provide shade and privacy. My wife said it would've been miserable without the Clam Screen House. The screen house provided shade, privacy, and protection from the flying bugs. We had the screen house over the picnic table. I set it up in an open area, then had my wife help me maneuver it over the picnic table. The night I received the screen house from Amazon, I tested it and was able to set it up for the first time in a couple minutes, in the dark. After setting it up once, I was able to put it up and take it down in less than a minute. When in the storage bag, the stowed tent is about 6 feet long. To transport it, I had to strap it to a fence board on the roof rack of my Prius. A few notes: - Images in the instructions sheets do not have a lot of contrast so details are hard to make out. Watch the video on set-up and take-down in the Clam product images above. Be sure to get familiar with how the cinch clips work for staking down the tie lines (not in videos). - Stake down the bottom of the left door/screen panel. It makes it easier to open and close the zip door with one hand. - If you are using your Screen House on hard dry ground, get the 10 pack 10" steel spike tent pegs. The 7-shaped tent stakes provided will bend when trying to hammer it into hard ground. - Get some lashing straps or cordage to contain all the extra material when it is folded. It makes it easier to get it into the bag. I used a rope that doubles as a clothes line.
