Got the 10×10. Simple to set up. The provided stakes are junk. Replace these, especially if you plan to drive into hard dirt. Included stakes will probably be fine on softer soils. Zipper action is a little tough if you don’t brace the tent a bit so one handed operation is tougher. Wasn’t a strongest, but being that it is foldable like a windshield sunshade, I expected this. Its a bit floppy if you don’t stake it down. Haven’t tried sandbags. My only complaint is that I’d like to be able to fold it as small as it came. I’m guessing they had it twisted twice to form 3 loops. Might need 2 people to accomplish this. I had to put the back seat down to fit it in my car, which means I can take this if I have passengers in the rear. Makes packing the car for a camping trip a bit tougher as well as it goes in last so I have to leave room on top. I actually bought this one for my mom, but she had me try it out first. 10×10 gets around a standard picnic table, but with only a small amount of room to walk. I may get the 12×12 for myself in the future though packing it may be even more challenging. Both are likely to be easier to back then a typical EX-up though. This product brought a lot of compliments at the campsite for its apparent simplicity.
Overall I am very happy with the purchase and we plan to buy the largest version next year. My only wish is that it had more airflow. Keeps yhe bugs out for sure.
I wish that It came with more sachets to hold it down. It’s as pictured but it will fall over when it’s windy outside. But some simple bricks to hold it in place should it the trick.
**UPDATE!** – I have used this daily since receiving it and have enjoyed such wonderful peaceful evenings inside this amazing screen tent. It is soooo see through and good that my dog tried to jump through it. Luckily for me she did not damage it so it’s pretty strong too. I am really amazed with my wonderful place to sit bug free and be able to enjoy dinner without flies all over the place.
I have two huge chairs and ottomans and it is a pretty tight fit. If you used smaller chairs you could probably fit four and perhaps a round table or two. I wouldn’t recommend you get a table with sharp corners, just so it doesn’t accidentally rip it.
I also have the screen tent covers and I HIGHLY recommend you purchase some if you like privacy like I do. They work great and keep nosy people from spying on you. They attach to the top and bottom for added privacy.
I HIGHLY recommend you purchase a screen tent. This will be a part of my travel bag wherever I go! I love it so much. I wish I would have bought this much sooner! WONDERFUL PRODUCTS!
I don’t ever write reviews to be honest but THIS tent.. is literally so amazing! So, we bought it about 2 weeks ago and we have gotten sooo many compliments about it. I go to my kids soccer games and I have 4 small kids, and they were even able to be the ONLY team to hide from the rain when they were awaiting their turn to go into play!
I open the package, SLOWLY let it go, and UP it goes into a tent. You adjust the sides a little and it is the pop up tent of our dreams! It also fits in our jeep wagon when it is all closed up! I hope these pictures I have shared help understand how amazing it is!
This is very easy to set up, but as others have noted, when removing it from the storage case, it will “fly” out and take you by surprise. It includes an accompanying strap to keep it sandwiched together once folded. Just be careful when undoing the strap.
One person can reasonably put up and take down, but if you have two pairs of hands, it will be much easier and faster (to take down definitely).
The zippered doors are simple to operate. The zipper pulls are on both the exterior and interior of the two doors and there are two sets of zippers per door. The doors do help with keeping the bugs to a minimum. One thing to note is that if there is no breeze flowing, it can get pretty warm inside depending upon how many bodies are inside.
This was set up with two 4′ folding tables and some folding chairs and a couple of plastic chairs- so, 6-7 people sat comfortably (two more people could have fit, but they opted for a different “tent”). If you’re only using chairs and perhaps a smaller round table, then the advertised 12 people may fit.
Taking this thing down isn’t too bad, HOWEVER folding it back is a bit of a challenge for one person. It has to be folded in a figure 8 shape (I have car sunshades which fold like this). The challenge is that because the ribbing is rather stiff, when folding, IT WILL fight back. This is where having an extra set of hands is very useful.
Once getting it into its carrying case, it weighs about 20lbs. The tent in its case is a bit awkward to carry because it’s about 3′ in diameter. You can put it on your shoulder to carry. It would be nice if the carry case had a set of zippers on both ends (like the doors) instead of just one which zips from one side to the other. It would make closing the case a little simpler.
It comes with tie downs and stakes which weren’t needed at the time.
Overall, it appears to be a great buy and the setup is great. Maybe 3 minutes at the most once you understand how it unfolds.
We are not using this as depicted. We live in Hawaii and there are several vegetables we cannot grow because of flies/larva. Cucumber in particular grow well, but as soon as they fruit, the plants are attacked by cucumber moths and their progeny. We need a screened, greenhouse to grow them, but building one from scratch was more expensive than ordering one of these. We use raised (3 fat tall) beds to grow vegetables. We can fit three beds inside the “tent”. The raised beds also save most of the wind issues, as they provide support for the walls. This is working out well for us. My issues are with the screen material being prone to snags and tears if you are not careful.
De trs bonne qualit +++ Je l ai install seule sans aucune difficult et en peu de temps . Pareil pour le rangement ++++++++ c est l 1 re que trouve une tonnelle qui se range en 2 minute dans le sac de rangement ! Trs satisfaite ! Je la recommande !
Ps au vendeur : due que la votre promo est eu lieu peu de temps aprs mon achat .
It has lasted beautifully, and I take it up and down each week. I’m able to unfold it and pull it over the chairs and table my myself — saving myself the step of getting the furniture in through the screen door. Since it is on concrete, I cannot stake it to the ground, but I tie it to a pole with the provided cords. I’ve trained my 15-pound dog to lift the corner with his nose to enter and exit so he may come and go as he wishes.
It folds easily and has a travel bag to take to watch a lawn sporting event or to put over a picnic table.
It’s very sturdy, and I have not a single rip, pull or hole anywhere on it. I recommend it highly to anyone needing an enclosed space on their patio.
This screen house is awesome. Not only did it keep out mosquitoes and flys, while camping, it also kept out the no see ums. Easy to put up and take down and the flat circle design makes it easy to store anywhere. It actually goes into the storage bag easily. My only complaint would be that it did not include the shade/privacy panels. It takes 6 to surround it and they come in sets of 3 for $29.88, so an additional $59.76 for the 10 x 10, if you want one for each section. In my opinion, at the price of $159.99, it should include 2 sets of 3 shade/privacy panels. Having said that, I did purchase one set and they were a great addition. The 10 x 10 fit around a round table with 4 chairs nicely with a good amount of headroom.
This dome screen tent is awesome. Easy set up and take down. I actually used weights to hold it down and tied it to the light pole. I put the weights in the provided bags for sand. I attached the support ropes to the car a chair and the table and the pole. We were on concrete and there was no where else to support. It was windy. To avoid it blowing in you have to attached the support ropes to something. My tent stood out from the rest as I was told. I love this thing. Looking forward to using it again.
Update: returned it lol and bought a clam Instant shelter because it’s rainproof and sets up in less than a minute
Really wanted to be able to leave my chairs etc out without getting we
Trs bon produit. Idal pour protger votre spa contre les insectes. Avec un vent parfois assez fort elle ne bouge pas
Vite dmont et pli en cas de temps orageux.
I bought the 10×10 and I’m pleased with the size.
Pros:
Since the screens are bowed out, it feels like a lot of room inside. Setup and take down we’re far easier than expected! I was intimidated by the size when trying to fold it, but it was really not a big deal. This tent is large enough to fit over a picnic table and absolutely keeps the flying bugs out.
Cons
There is no floor, so ants and crawling bugs can be a problem. For as big as this tent is, there is very little actual shade. There are small gaps at the corners that will allow smell pets to escape.
Wishlist
I wish this tent had two doors!
Love the way it looks and it worked really well keeping bugs off food table. Although it doesn’t hold up well with wind and rain so don’t leave it up when not using. The top hold water as it dips down and unable to run off. Very easy to set up but a little hard to get it back in the storage bag for storing. I’ll have to work on that skill lol.
This pop-up screen-house is very easy to open and position. It is 12 feet at the longest, measurement. It easily fits a round patio table with 4 chairs. If it’s going to be left up during any inclement weather, it may be best to stake or weigh it down with the included equipment. In addition, it’s not a bad idea to add some support to the top to keep any rain from pooling. The maker sells a center pole for that purpose. We use some hoops made of 1/2 inch CPVC pipe. The mesh is very tight and excludes mosquitos and most other bugs. We’ve had it for only a week, so can’t say too much about long-term durability, but so far so good.
Beware, once you open it, it will not fit back in the shipping box. They ship it “folded” 3 times but they designed it to be stored folded 2 times. You will need to figure out how to force a 3rd fold to get it back in the shipping box.
We used this in Wisconsin this (10’x10′) year. We placed two zero gravity chairs inside which was tight but doable. We put down some outdoor carpet for a little extra protection – not really needed. It was great place to go and read, often sleep and it did a great job of keeping bugs out. There were lots of cords to secure it which was nice. Only negative thing was that the dogs loved it too b/c they could see each other through it and they played the chase game around it breaking those cords. Not the manufacturer fault. Others in our group are buying more now.
Great value for money, great space we use it outside our campervan, easy to take down and gives great protection from bugs
This has come at such a needed time in the UK heat wave warning and it provides a nice shade away from the sun. The mesh on the sides allows a nice breeze but also keeps flies away. I got 10×10 and assembled it alone easily. It also folds away easily when not needed and don’t take much space. It’s value for money for such a good item and you can move it around the garden and set it anywhere you want depending on the sun position.

I love how easy it was to set up the screened tent and just as easy, in my opinion, to fold it up again to put it away in a nice carrying bag. I really haven’t had it for long, but I can hardly wait to be able to use it in the fall with cool evenings and nights. I’m pretty sure that the tent is not water proof or resistant, so you have to watch out for the weather when setting up the tent.
I sent in a post card which was included with the tent, to activate my one year warranty for the tent. The very next day I received a reply from the email that I sent and my warranty was activated…that was simple! The Alvantor company seems to be one that is friendly and can be trusted.
No pictures, yet, but I will post a couple as soon as I get some to post. NICE PRODUCT! I’m glad I was able to purchase this. I plan on using it for many different uses and for many years to come. I bought the side sunshades to go with the tent and extended warranty for this, also.
If I could change or update this item another side or two for venting/airflow. The netting definitely keeps bugs out but on a hot summer day could’ve used more airflow. There is no bottom which is nice because you can put it over yourself and chairs. If for kids, a tent base would’ve been nice to have in my situation.
Flaps for additional shade. I was able to push a stroller and carry this for a mile on may own but if there were 2 straps to carry like a backpack it’d have been easier.
I was quite sceptical about this product even though I had read all the reviews and looked at the Alvantor site, but it is really easy to put up and it folds away very quickly and easily back in to its packaging. It’s robust and we found it great last summer to shelter in and read our books etc.

Found it very protective from the sun and flying insects. Very pleased with my screen house and even larger than I expected,bought the 10×10. Definitely can be opened out in one minute and taken down in one minute by one person.
We have this for an outside space for four adults – who are very seldom all in the space at the same time – which is a VERY good thing – Not sure how it’s measured, as we couldn’t get close to 10 ft in any direction when we checked it after setting it up. It sets up super easily – it seems very sturdy – it looks cute enough beside the house – but it is small. It held up very well during a wind storm – collapsing on one side during the wind, and popping back out with minimal intervention when the storm was over. It’s just really small. Perfect for two people. More than two people – not so perfect. We do have four chairs (two comfortable outside chairs – and two very small not so comfortable outside chairs ) in it – so it can be done – just not comfortably. – I’d buy it again in a second for just two people – for four – you need the next size up.
Love this. It is so easy to put up and to put down. Though it has some weight to it when carried, it isn’t so much that I can’t carry with one hand. It comes with one tiny little patch fix, probably worthless. Plenty of stakes and bags for sand. I am not using sand bags but it does come with them (no sand). It has tie downs as well on outside. Plastic hooks for the shade screens.
Obviously it is not waterproof, it isn’t made to be. I mainly purchased it for weekend outdoors for my dogs and me so I also purchased the shades screens. Now seeing them, lete tell you that if you have an old sheet and hair elastics, you can easily creat your own shade screen.
Is it bug proof….not 100%. Bugs will fly in when people leave and come back in. Plus I place this over grass which bugs come out from or they wiggle under the frame through the grass blades. I don’t fault the product because it does cut down the biting flies and mosquitoes so much that I can avoid using that nasty bug spray while reading a book.
I will probably either purchase their ground tarp or see what Walmart has in-store to help further limiting bugs.
Oh, pincher bugs love to hang around this pop up screen tent as well. They love the bottom folds of the tent and the sides where the screens are connected.
I would and have recommended this to others.
We bought this to surround our new 2m x 2m hot tub to stop the bugs in the evenings.
It fits perfectly, is sturdy enough, flexible with the dual openings, and so easy to “open”.
No idea how to put it away yet, but probably wont be.
Comes with everything you need.
You get what you pay for in a positive way. Not a cheap chinese product. Very impressed.

UPDATE: I’ve used this twice now and I’m still happy with it but there are a couple of notes. If there is even the slightest breeze it will collapse. Tying it down is a must. That’s more of a slight aggravation than anything. Also the sun shades that you can put up do work but they blow inward about a foot so they will hit anyone sitting in front of them. Other than those two annoyances I really like it. It’s nice not having to worry about bugs when enjoying the outdoors. It is absolutely gorgeous if you hang lights and it has hooks for the sun shade that work perfectly.
Bought the 10 x 10 screen house and it’s just big enough for our 3 person family, though not really quite big enough to use over our full size patio table and 3 chairs. Very easy to set up and take down with 2 people; haven’t tried it alone yet. Nice quality mesh and zippers; I just wish the floor could attach with zippers to be completely bug-proof. The “sand bags” are designed wrong and I won’t be using them; they’re only about a foot long and wider than necessary. A traditional weighted door snake draft stopper across each bottom flap would be perfect for basically sealing the screen house to the floor. I’m glad I ordered the sunshades, but they sent the wrong ones so I’m waiting for the replacement. I haven’t needed the extension pole yet but it’s a very nice, lightweight aluminum pole and the ball over the top spike is clever. Meanwhile I’m using the pole in it’s bag across one of the 6 bottom flaps-it’s the perfect length. The hooks inside the screen house are perfect for hanging a lantern, stringing lights, etc. So glad to be able to enjoy being outdoors without being eaten alive.
QUALITY, QUALITY, QUALITY… This thing is built extremely well from the mesh (extremely high quality nice tight micro fiber that definitely looks military grade and i think would keep out noseeums which is saying something)… the zippers and connecting materials are solid and do not feel flimsy… It comes with ground stakes and sand bags…. and a nice carry case for the stakes as well as a nice carrying case for the entire screenhouse… The only minor minor minor wish is there aren’t enough stakes to leverage all the tie down points and ropes on the screen house. (That’s ok i just added some)…. You have i think 7 stake/sand bag points on the base and then another 4 or so upper tight lines for windy situations… Which is fantastic just wish they threw in a few more stakes to leverage them all.
The specs say 22 lbs… but it sure doesn’t feel like 22lbs.
Just chill in the garden with ours. Quality ok. You need to use the guylines as a stiff breeze causes parts to fold in, but they pop out easily enough. Be warned, dogs and cats can’t see the mesh netting and will run into it, so get them used to it being there and show them the entrances.

Brilliant. Will definitely keep the midges from biting. Easy to erect, unfortunately had to search for a demonstration in order to take it down .It does need two people to fold away.

Haven’t used it yet as it’s not the weather,but looks okay
I wanted something I could throw up quickly to protect my children’s 12′ above ground pool from detritus and dead animals/insects over these cold months.
Literally unpacked, untied, and lifted over in a matter of minutes. It popped up perfectly, and was light enough for two of us to move around. There are loads of tie-downs and guide ropes integrated in the tent, and it comes with additional sandbags if needed.
Very happy :).

Simple to set up and fold away very pleased with the produc
Loved this product. Increased the time we were able to spend time outside this year. Bees,wasps and midgies did not chase us into the house. Easy to put up and take down to store. Worth every penny.
The cream roof apppears to attract the insects, so I recommend leaving the doors down.
In the rain, it’s not so great, So far , we haven’t really had a problem with rain collecting on the roof and the collasping inwards as other reviewers reported, although we do give the roof an aoccasional prod with a broom handle just to be on the safe side. The main issue is that the rain will come through the gauze sides, so you need to pull yourselves and the furniture directly under the cream roof space to stay dry.
I’ve talked a lot about negatives, but really I wouldn’t swap this for anything. It pretty much assembles itself when you release it from the bag and comes down just as easily, It’s a very good-looking piece of kit and its got hooks inside where we hang fairylights at night and it looks really magical. Highly recommended!

That being said however, in fine weather this thing is a gem. Measuring 8’x8′ inside it has decent space for almost any use and is lovely to sit inside and enjoy the fresh air without providing the local insects with a feast.
Very easy to put up obviously and not too much trouble to put down (we read comments and watched the YouTube video first!) I’ll certainly be keeping hold of this but probably for the garden with a patio umbrella inside rather than extra space while camping. Be aware you’ll want extra space around this gazebo as you will definitely need to use the guy ropes to keep it secured in place.
For me this scores a solid 8/10 and only misses out on a higher score purely because it needs some way of pushing the centre of the roof up to avoid collecting the rain.

I liked how easy it is to put up and it’s very sturdy.
So we figured we would give this screened tent a try. Success!!
This tent pops into form easily and has sand bags and tie downs for stability. I only use the sand bags because it’s on a paved patio.
I sit in there and the darn pests will land on the outside of the screen near my head, but they can’t bite me. It’s a win for the humans!
Anyway, the mesh is so fine that it’s nearly clear to look out into our yard. It does minimize the breeze a little so if you are in it while it’s still warm outside, you will feel it. But when it gets a little brisk in the early evening, it’s PERFECT.
DOUBLE ZIPPERS help seal it up and they are on two opposite panels. The sand bags help keep it from moving if it’s breezy.
One caveat: it is water resistant, not waterproof. So it needs to be disassembled if it’s gonna rain. But, folding it up is a breeze and this should not deter you from getting this.
At this price point, I rationalized that if I can enjoy the summer without all the bites – it’s totally worth it!
UPDATE: this tent has been terrific for keeping the bugs away in a space where yard sprays and a bug zapper really didn’t work at all. I ran an extension cord under the edge of the tent (under the sand bag to prevent any gaps) and put a small oscillating fan on a table. It made it 100% more comfortable during the warmer parts of the day. And the shape can be altered slightly from an octagon to more of a rectangle to accommodate chairs and tables inside. I wish it was just a little bigger for our needs, but overall, this thing is terrific.
Haven’t tested its waterproof ability yet.
Had to watch online tutorials for safe dissembling.
I was surprised how easy it was to set up the first time I use the gazebo and bought the sides altogether it took about 2-3 minutes to get sta
Arrived just in time for our camping trip. Brilliant design,easy to put up and very attractive! 5 stars all around!
its fantastic very spacious value for money id reccomend it to anyone
Nice and airy inside as wel once all zipped up
it des what it says. nice product east to assemble and take dow
We bought the additional screening sails for added protection from any breeze.
This tent is easy to assemble.. it does just pop up. It’s strong and very well made which you’d expect for the price.
This is a brilliant size and excellent quality highly recommended
It keeps the midges at bay no small feat on the West Coast of Scotland
Other reviewers have mention that it’s not great in a shower as the centre of the roof is not supported so can fill with rain. Not yet experienced that, but will report back on that as and when! It was never our plan to use it as a rain shelter! and I do not think this was a design criteria! Strongly recommended.

I’m 5 foot nothing in my 60s and I highly recommend this tent so easy to assemble and after a quick demonstration from the granddaughter I could pack it away.
I have the 10 x 10 and when I have the family round plenty of room for us all to have lunch ,and no bugs around us when eating.
The only problem I have when its windy the top dips down even with the ties its not good not happy about this and we are facing south the sun shines through the sides . Not pleased unless you do a cover to keep sun from the sides ?

I dont usually write reviews but credit where credit it’s due. This is an excellent product. You walk in out of the sun and it’s instantly cooler, this past week it was cooler in this tent in direct sunlight than in the house. My garden is a sun trap and I have artificial grass. As a childminder I have lots of little ones and crawlers, burning grass isn’t ideal. I looked at loads of gazebos/event shelters but everything required 2 person assembly. This I have assembled myself, it was really easy. I have managed to get some of our bigger toys in it as you can see. Mine is the 12ft x12ft. I brought sun panels to go with it however I don’t think you need them, the mesh is so dark it easily keeps the brightness of the sun out whilst keeping it cool. I love that I can shut the doors and keep the children in the safety of the shade and coolness whilst we enjoy this heatwave. It’s been a bit windy here and it’s not moved either. Haven’t had to fold it back down yet though so can’t report on that but it’s just such an amazing product I felt it deserved a review
As for the screen house well it’s just perfect! Self assembles within seconds; excellent quality and sturdy!! Even the sandbags are designed to match and branded.
We were a little worried about taking it down – things never go back in the bag! – but didn’t need to be. It was so easy and just folded right up and slotted in to the bag! Easy peasy and light weight.
We have the 10×10 which easily fits 4-6 adults with tables and chairs!
Can’t wait to show this off to friends and family!
Since we decided to put this up on our actual deck and not on grass, it takes a bit more effort to secure the tent from the wind. It comes with 5 ties with bags that you can fill with something heavy like rocks. That was not good enough to keep the tent from collapsing in the wind. So we took the top ties and extended them out as far as we could and also secured them with weights. So far this is working much better. If only there was a way to actually secure the ties into the deck. If you were placing it on grass, it comes with stakes so you can drive them into the ground for a secure fit. We love sitting in the tent to read or just relax. You feel as if you’re outside, yet are protected from insects and also too much sun since the top does shield some of the rays.
I would recommend this product and am looking forward to enjoying it on many nice days with the warmer weather now here.
A little difficult to errect (by yourself) initially but once you get the hang of it, it’s quite easy.
