Just had to comment after reading these old reviews of folks who couldn’t seem to set it up without either A. It take 2 people at least to set this screen house up. Tried to buy replacement parts but they were discontinued. Repaired the cracked gable with duct tape and was able to use it one more time but then gave up on the cracked part and bought another smaller screen room. Had I have known that this particular screen house was so hard to find, I would have bought a kit and tried to repair it.
Now unable to get all the parts I need to make it worth repairing. We bought this screen house at an auction for $5. Great for our buffet line for family camping. Sadly it blew over over in a storm last night breaking two corner pieces ozark trail sleeping bag and the middle X broke. We are looking for these pieces if anyone wants to sell. It is of poor design, in that this could be avoided using 2 more yellow, curved roof poles which would not allow the rain to puddle on the roof.
What about the rain, or the potential for 120-degree heat? For the moment, my dream of an extra room in the back yard has come true. Wish me luck putting it up at the wedding. We have a love-hate relationship with this screen tent.
My family and I have used it a total of 3 times and the seams have ripped. There is no way we can camp with this tent, if it would rain it would ruin everything. This tent is only $47 at Walmart, ozark trail screen house however that is not the point. The hubs on the tent and the construction of the design are worthless. A light misting rain and it’s all over. The hubs break and the legpoles bend beyond repair.
There’s also 1 lantern loop at the very top of the tent for some lighting at night. A gust of wind probably around 50 MPH took it down. Broke all four corner hubs and bent all 1b poles beyond repair. We loved it when it stayed together.
Hopefully I can find a replacement part. I contacted Wal-Mart (1-800-WALMART) to see where I could get a replacement pole for the tent. They are idiots and seemed like they didn’t want to help me by supplying me with the manufacturer’s phone number. When I got the thing home and deboxed it, the reality began to set in.
