Alvantor Screen House Gazebo for 6-15 People Instant UV Shelter

UPDATE: Added a short video to show how it handles heavy rain. As you can see, water collects on the roof until there is enough weights to drain itself. Then the tent resets itself. We purchased this pop-up screen so we could enjoy our backyard pond without the threat of those pesky mosquitos. We also live near the beach and thought itmight be handy to have there as well. The tent is very easy to set-up – basically just take it out of the carry bag and stand back! It practically opens itself. One person can set it up, but it is definitely easier to have a second person, especially for the larger tents. And you will need a hand folding it back up to put it away in the carry bag. The build quality is good, but keep in mind it is not meant to serve as a permanent structure. If you leave it out all summer, the sun, wind, and rain will likely take it’s toll. And that would the case with any tent or screen tent. They simply are not meant to be permanent structures. But, since it is so quick and easy to set up and take down, it is no problem to take down and store it when you are not using it. I just would not recommend leaving out all summer long in the elements if you want to be able to use it for the seasons to come. It is lightwieght, so you will want to use all the tie-down ropes. These will add stablity if the wind picks up. We left it out in a really stong thunderstorm and of course it buckled and collapsed as the wind blew. But as soon as the wind died down it just popped back up into shape. Water will accumulate on the top of the tent, also causing it to eventually collapse from the wieight of the water. But again – as soon as it that happens, the water just drains off and it pops right back up into shape. You can see this in some of the videos posted by other reviewers. I don’t see this as a problem since you would not want to be out in it during a storm anyway. Bottom line: if you are looking a simple, effective, low-cost solution to being able to enjoy being outdoors without pesky bugs, we can recommend this tent. Just keep in mind this is meant to be a quick and easy screen tent for when and where you need it, not a permanent structure.
