Purchased for My parent’s cabin in Northern Michigan. It is used when ever someone is up North, which is 95% of all warm weekends. It is extremely quick and easy to put up and take down. It is left out in all weather conditions from April- November. Works great in the rain and wind too. Nothing has needed maintenance done or replaced on this since I’ve purchased it in 2019. Very solid and great quality. I also purchased the wind block panels and we have three that we will throw up randomly later in the season and they also work great/ easy on and off too

I already had two clam tents so I know how awesome they are. But when I found out they had a PURPLE one (my favourite colour) I had to have it!It has even better features than my previous clam tents as the panels are built in and have built in windows included.I also purchased the floor separately and LOVE the results. It has become my favourite tent and the one I now also sleep in since having the floor. Lots of room and easy to set up by myself.

I only use this portable gazebo for a week-end, and it's awesome, 1st there a lot of room, so many features, you can easily roll up any windows, walls and doors, by keeping the mosquitos screen down, so you have the air flow the way you want. One of the best feature is the very easy and fast setup, less then 40 seconds, and to put it back to his storage back it took me 2min without any help.The only thing, it's very tall when it's all pack, make sure you've got the room in your vehicle if you want to bring it, it's almost 8 feet long.

We watched some YouTubes for setting up this tent and when we tried it ourselves, it WAS just as easy as the demonstrations...such an easy process. Taking down is just as easy too. These tents are becoming very popular. When we go camping we notice more and more of them - people are so happy with them. When our friends saw how easy the setup and take down was and how well these are made - they went out and bought themselves one also and they love it like we do. We would hightly recommend this tent.

UPDATE: We had HUGE winds resulting in the dome coming down, not supporting the roof. Originally hadnt staked down with the side ropes. Since then, high winds didnt cause the roof to come down so all is still good.EXCELLENT easy up dome screen tent. BEST in class and has all the features. EXCEEDS expectations.The first one we had was a different name brand and lasted a couple years, it was a good name brand but was over $300. THIS replacement is much better in every way.*The fabric, grommets, zippers, velcro, and even the stakes are high quality. The six strings come with smaller stakes for extra wind protection*The ATTACHED wind and rain flaps are a huge upgrade and bonus! Others have invidual panels that need to be put up by attaching to the tent with velcro. SOME, USUALLY only 2 have windows (so there can be ventalation when the protection, comfort panels are up). These panels have a window in EVERY panel and thus no matter which way the wind or rain is coming from you'll be able to open windows. The quality is notable with small seams fitting over the edge of the panels. There are panels for the doors too. All panels just need to be rolled up and tied when not needing them. Then to use just unroll and velcro down the ones you choose.*The door has two quality zippers, one for the screen layer and one for the wind and rain panel. The zipper can be unzipped from the top or bottom. *The size is larger than most,usually the 12' ones are 11'.5" or at most 12' while this one is an extra 6 inches all the way around (which is really an extra foot inside if adding the 6in from one side to the 6in straight across. This could be used as a sleeping tent for extra guests.The listing pics don't do justice for this screen tent, it's much better. It costs a tad more but overall it's a much better deal. This is a case of you get what you pay for.Review pics were taken with some side panels down and some up to show what each look like. It was very windy when pics were taken. The front anchor strings are not up.The easiest way to set up is go inside and push out the lower wall pieces going around a circle. That takes about a minute. Then stake down, hold stakes at an angle. The grommets are under the rain flaps at the intersections/corners.

I bought this direct from Amazon last summer and had it set up the entire summer and fall in my backyard. I'm impressed with the construction and features of the tent. Very easy for one person to erect and take down quickly. If you are the kind of person who never reads the instructions first, don't do it with this tent! Read the instruction sheet and watch the YouTube video on setup. When setup I can stand in the middle of the tent without my head touching the centre roof of the tent. I'm 6ft.3". Nice dual heavy duty screen door zippers. The mesh panels allow a lot of ventilation and keep the bugs out.The accessory wind panels attach and detach quickly and are nice to have for privacy, direct sun protection and windy days. What I don't like is that there is no doorway cover and no fitted floor.I got enough wind panels to cover all the sides and adapted one more wind panel as a doorway cover. Rolled up around an old tent pole inside the tent at the doorway top and tied off with 2 strings. Undo the strings and drop the panel to the floor. Secure panel at bottom with a couple of office binder clips. For the floor I used a plastic tarp and a plastic outdoor quick dry rug over the tarp. The tent sat on patio stones, so I didn't have to worry about killing a grass lawn.Be sure to secure the tent with ground stakes and bungees or ropes attached to the outside hub rings. The wind will move the tent otherwise.

I absolutely love this tent! It’s easy to put up and take down, its sturdy and kept the area dry in pouring rain. I purchased two packages of the additional weather panels and used the 6th one over the doorway overnight (even though it doesn’t Velcro down) and they kept the inside of the tent area dry. The large flaps at the bottom and the screens provide good coverage and keep bugs out well. The zipper and fabric are heavy duty and the whole unit is strong and durable. The inside of the tent is tall and roomy with the ability to accommodate a table plus multiple guests. The tent easily fits back into the bag with more than enough room for the tent and both sets of weather panels. I highly recommend this tent and have nothing bad to say! I’ve owned comparable Coleman screen tents and this one is miles better. It’s definitely worth the price!

I really didn't want to buy this. I kept trying to talk myself out of it, but after watching several video demonstrations of how easy it was to put up and how cool it looked...I just couldn't resist. We've used a 10 x 10 Coleman sun shelter for a few years now and it has worked well for us. It has built in LED lights, which are very cool, and I purchased the mosquito net walls that were made for it as well. We've used it for special events, yard sales, and camping. Although it has performed well over the years, it is a bit of a pain to set up (especially when adding the net walls around it), it's very heavy, and it takes up a lot of packing space in the back of the truck. Now, I don't plan to throw the ole' Coleman away. I'm just going to reserve it for events at home and take this Clam on the road.This is unbelievably easy to set up. I can do it by myself and it takes less than a minute. It's bigger than the Coleman, giving us a 12 x 12 area to relax in and it provides plenty of space for a table and chairs. It comes in an oversized bag which gives you plenty of room to pack it away. I really hate it when tents and other such things come in bags that are almost impossible to pack them back into. When in the bag, the Clam shelter is definitely longer than the Colman shelter but it has a slimmer profile and is much easier to lift and carry. The bag also has a shoulder sling and I can easily carry it over my shoulder with no problems. When setting it up the first time, I recommend paying close attention to some of the demonstration videos that can be seen online to avoid some of the problems that I've read about in other customer's reviews. I've read that some mistakenly tried to put it up in a "wrong side out" fashion which resulted in some very confusing situations. I try to think of it like "planting a tree". The shelter's central "roof hub" is what rests on the ground while the majority of the tent fabric is up in the air. You just let it open up and blossom like flower in a sense. Then, you just walk to each wall and pop it out with the final step being to walk inside to lift the roof up. It really is quite simple. Now, I saw plenty of videos of people putting it up, but I couldn't find anything about taking it down. I just did everything in reverse obviously and it also was very simple process.The shelter is fairly well made and you the company has put some extra features in to make it more durable. The eyelets that are used to pull the walls out are made of metal and there is extra fabric in the corners which protects those vulnerable areas from tearing. There is also an extra layer of fabric securing the area around the central hub for durability and increasing water resistance. The one thing that I did notice, however, is that the needle holes for the stitching are quite noticeable in the corners making these areas the most vulnerable for water. While the shelter doesn't claim to be waterproof, I will certainly be adding some seam sealer to these areas in order to make it's "resistance" a bit more effective. The shelter does come with small plastic stakes, but I plan on using some longer and more heavy duty galvanized tent stakes to provide extra security. Once the shelter is up, it's quite lightweight enough for you and a helper to position it over a picnic table. I've set it up in the yard twice now (once to check it out and once to show a family member how cool it was) and we had no problem positioning it. I also purchased a set (3 panels in each set) of the privacy/wind walls developed by Clam specifically for this shelter as well. They also go on very easy and are great to have. I plan on setting it up one more time to add the seam sealer to the corners and then it will have it's first run as we take it camping in a few weeks. This shelter will certainly help to reduce the amount of set up time and I am looking forward to using it.Update: 8/19/16 - Just got back from a week long camping trip and this Clam performed very well. We go to a family campground up in the mountains of North Carolina that accommodates both tent and RV campers. We stay in tents but everyone is always walking around and checking other campsites out. The Clam certainly got a lot of attention and I had at least three people (2 who travel in RVs) personally came up and asked questions about the shelter. The folks in the RVs usually sit and eat outside in the evenings and this particular shelter drew their attention because of how easy it is to set up and take down. I put some seam sealer on some of the areas that I had talked about previously in the review and it didn't leak a drop during two light rains and one moderate one. I didn't use the wind screens that I had purchased for it because it was still kind of warm up in the mountains and I didn't want to trap extra heat inside. The plastic stakes that came with the shelter would of been useless in the hard ground where I was at. I was glad that I brought some extra galvanized stakes with me. The wind picked up right before one of the rains and it pushed two of the wall panels in. I ended up using some guy lines around the metal eyelets on the wall panels of the shelter and securing them down with some additional stakes. There were no problems after that. I was very pleased with the performance and it sure made set up and take down a little bit easier.
