Coleman Instant 12′ x 10′ Backhome Screenhouse with Sidewall

James has been escaping to the outdoors for as long as he can remember. This first started in family camping trips but soon turned into adventure camps and hiking through the Scottish Hebrides. Now he has turned towards trying to make camping more coleman ice chest comfortable and accessible. There’s even additional space for a picnic table in the screen house as well. You can go from grill to table without having to risk running the gauntlet of insects waiting to pounce when you leave your screen house.

If you prefer to take in the sun and fresh air free from insects and other nuisances, a screen tent can be a welcome refuge. The YDYL Screen House is the best instant screen house of this group. The screen tent is tall and wide, highly versatile, great for cooking and hanging out in alike.

The tent’s accordion-type supports and telescoping legs ensure a simple setup for two people. The best screen tents should offer features that can aid in an enjoyable outdoor experience with the benefit of being effective in rain or shine. 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.

This is one of the larger camping shelters at 120 square feet, and while the setup isn’t quite instant, most people can manage it in under 30 minutes with 2-3 people. If you’re ready to take your next camping trip up another notch, we’ve rounded up our picks for the coleman sundome best screen houses for camping, no matter your group size or weather. The shelter has a 10-by-10-foot footprint—the most common size for tents of this type—and a peak height of 7 feet. It will shelter a standard-size picnic table, but with little room to spare.

As the name suggests, this screen tent pops up right out of the box, requiring just one minute and one person to erect it. It boasts a 12.5-by-12.5-foot surface area encased by six panels that quickly collapse for quick disassembly as well. The selected picks are made to be UV protectant, water-resistant, versatile in use, and easy to set up. Many selections take just seconds or minutes to set up while offering UV-protective waterproof mesh for sunny and rainy days. Whilst it still might struggle in stronger winds or heavy rain, the Coleman is more protective than the camping screen tents on this list. Its large four to six adult capacity makes it an excellent family screen house.

The best screen tent shelters have mesh screens that prevent no-see-ums from entry. L.L.Bean’s Woodlands Screen House is remarkably similar to our top pick, REI’s Screen House Shelter; the two canopies have an identical footprint and pole structure. But the L.L.Bean tent’s peak ceiling height coleman ice chest of 6 feet 6 inches is half a foot lower than that of the REI tent, making it feel notably darker and less spacious. It typically costs more (in fact, the price has risen substantially—more than $150—since we first tested it) and lacks the convenient strap-equipped carrying bag we like.

It is also fully freestanding, and you will realize this from the video below. The structure is a hexagon at the base, and it has 6 strong legs with support bars for the roof. But you have guylines and stakes to secure it against winds, so do not miss doing this. This shape you can see also in this unique Gazelle Tents G6 Pop-Up Portable 6-Sided Hub Gazebo/Screen Tent. However, when it comes to rain, this tent prefers to collect it rather than shed it.
