Alvantor Screen House Gazebo, 6-10-15 Person Pop Up Igloo Screened Canopy Tent with Mosquito Netting Sides, Instant UV Resistant Sun Shelter for Garden, Patio, Backyard

As you can see, the tent doesn’t block the vire either from the inside or the outside. I was a bit afraid it would look like a black-walled orb, but thankfully, you can easily see through it. I like to garden and hated to think of blocking the view to all my hard work—but it’s all good! And the mesh of the walls is super fine—so no no-seeums, gnats or mosquitoes can make their way in. The 8” of fabric around the edges allows for keeping the bugs out too, if you lay it out with common sense where there are no gaps.We live in Dallas, TX, so we added sand bags to the tent’s built-in hooks and used most of the stake lines because WIND, y’all. We had a big storm with 50+mph winds and 3 inches of rain and this tent stayed right in place. (So, don’t be an idiot—use the stakes and weigh it down, otherwise you have no one to blame but yourself if it goes air born.) Some sides dipped in—but that’s good—as it allowed the rain to run off of the roof and down the sides rather than pooling in the middle and weighing straight down. I highly recommend popping in a side of you leave on vacation to ensure run off.Oh, and there are handy hooks around the inside so you can hang up string lights!You lose some breeze, but the no bugs is worth the trade off. That’s what fans are for.We purchased the 15x15’ to cover most of our patio, which is conveniently round—and you can see we have a loveseat, couch, ottoman—and we’re going to squeeze in the matching chair (removing the deck box). So you’ve got room in this thing. (Forgive the messiness inside—we were pulling in pool toys to avoid them flying away, too, in that storm.)There are 2 doors so you can easily walk through.The ceiling is probably 7.5-8’. My husband is 6‘3“ and I was very conscious of making sure we had something that he could easily move around in. The walls are slightly angled inward, but if you have furniture in there, you definitely won’t be coming up against them. It is definitely more orb shaped than triangular.Yes, it’s not cheap—but you don’t have to cover yourself in Deet, or—unlike with a Thermocell—you can eat around it safely (PSA: you can’t have uncovered food around a Thermocell per their own instructions). So eating summer meals with no flies is also fabulous. So is not needing to re-shower if you want to go back outside at night for awhile (so you aren’t having to spray down again, then re-showering to ensure you don’t get Deet or essential oils on your indoor furniture or sheets at bedtime, because unhealthy for the first case and not pleasant smelling in both cases). It’s also a win for keeping chemicals off your kids as much as possible. And same goes if you’re pregnant.Like I said—not cheap—but sooooo well thought out and worth it. Think of all the bug spray, Thermocell refills, citronella candles, etc., that you WON’T be buying. It might just even out price-wise by summer’s end.

Originally this was not the tent I wanted but because I was looking for quality and affordability I went with this one based on reviews and I’m so glad I did. It is a very nice setup. I was expecting it to be smaller than it was but no it’s a really great size. I bought it for a Father’s Day surprise picnic I’m doing for my honey and this is gone be great. I will post pictures.The only bad or challenging thing is folding it back up, whew me and my daughter had a time so I would say it takes 2 people to fold it but I’m short 4’11 so my arms are not long I needed help.Great quality for the moneyI will update on bugs and sun after I use it but for now this is satisfactory for me
