Eureka! NoBugZone Screened Canopy Shelter

We needed an area to cook and prep food, as well as a place to sit with protection from bugs, the sun, or rain. We took it camping with us just the other day. Setup is fairly easy if you're used to other tents, but much more complex than the pop up kinds. Takes me about 10 minutes by myself, or 5 minutes with another person. All the poles are metal and click together. Once the shelter is setup, it's a little wobbly, so I'd highly recommend staking down all 4 sides and setting at least 4 flys until the shelter is stable. Each corner has 2 flys for more stability. It survived a 30 minute thunderstorm but be sure to move everything towards the center because the fly doesn't extend past the sides of the tent. I wish there was a side fly like on tents, to drain the water down it instead of it dripping inside, I would highly recommend buying the sides when they are back in stock for heavy rain situations. We cooked food in our tent, not sure if advisable by the company but we were safe and had it far enough away to avoid accidents. It was so much better than combatting bugs on a picnic table while preparing food. You could fit 6 people with a kitchen prep area and still have some room in the middle for a table.Pro: great camp kitchen, roomy, more than enough room to stand everywhere, two entry doors, tons of hooks around the ceiling for things, bag is decently sized (about the same as a popular brand 6 person tent).Cons: wobbly, requires >14 stakes to properly secure, rain fly is too short (solved by purchasing sides), little more complicated to set up.

This screened in house has been a game changer for outdoor living. Bugs still get in from opening and closing the door; however they congregate at the top and leave us alone. It is also very waterproof during rainstorms and looks fantastic with fairy lights. I only gave it a 4 out of 5 because one of the strings broke upon first use but all the others work.

Exceeded expectations! Nice quality.

First time setting up tent the loop on the connector that attaches the tent to stake ring broke at seam with almost no tension. I figured this could be replaced easily so I continued with set up to verify everything else. While putting up sidewalls (purchased separately) I discover no loop in lower corner of one side that is necessary to properly connect the sidewall. I will also add the sidewall clips are thin plastic that look like the will break easily. Returned everything for refund.

I received a free product for review, I was supposed to receive the 3-in-1 shelter however I received the screen house version. We will still use this model, but I did want to note that I didn’t factor that into my review.The instructions are very clear and easy to follow, I assembled it myself in 30 minutes battling the wind. It can easily be assembled in 10 minutes with 2 people. The screenhouse version has a white covered top with screens on all 4 sides. The front and back fully unzip (one has 1 zipper down the center and things to hold both sides open, the other has a zipper on each side and rolls up out of the way). It has both plastic and metal stakes included, you will need them as small gusts of wind will blow it down if it using fully staked down. It is very large, plenty big enough for a picnic table to fit under or many chairs. (In the photo I didn’t have it fully staked down.)

Set up was easy with two people.....alone would be difficult.First us in a really buggie place and inside was truely bug free.....we let some in going in and out but fogger quickly cured that.We weathered a good rain storm and all was good under the center. Outside walls took in some water.Take down and rebag was easy and fast.

This shelter is great at keeping out bugs but it really struggles with everything else. It is not free standing (it will totally collapse if not properly tied down with the guy lines) and it is really terrible at keeping you dry. The roof does not leak but the water pours down the sides and drips right inside even with a light shower of rain... I wish this were just a bit more stable and I really wish Eureka! had a rain fly to pair with this tent.

I love this screen house. It's very well made with lots of attention to detail and high quality hardware and material. I use it to shelter when I am outside with the smokers in our family that visit. Bugs bugs bugs, you can't get us! I need help to get it up - a 2 person job.
