CLAM Pop Up Screen Tent, Outdoor Camping Gazebo Canopy, Escape, 11.5', Green - Heavy-Duty Portable Screened Shelter with Netting for Beach, Patio, and Backyard

I have only ever bought Clam tents because they are super easy to set up and take down! This model is very large, as shown in picture and can fit 2 sets of patio furniture and a fire pit! It helps with the wind and sun protection as well. Great for privacy while still being able to enjoy your view! Recommended ordering the side screens as well to add as you need. The quality of the model, panels, zippers, are just great! It has become a permanent fixture at my camp site! Looks phenomenal, stands out above the rest and gets so many compliments!

Ten stars! I have the large instant coleman tent. Great product for the price...but it really is too large and thus cumbersome setting up and breaking down. This instant screen house by Clam is totally amazing. Much easier to handle and thus quick and easy. Just as in the video, it really does take one minute to set up. Intuitive. I only read the instructions about the two poles at the doorway. SECOND 9 X 9 TENT BOUGHT AS AMAZON SECOND: Not used, but someone attempted to set this up, the easiest tent in the world to set up, but they undid many hub rods and put them back wrong. I had to undo all the hubs and figure out how to put it back together. Since I’ve been a Clam man for almost 15 years I got it done, but it took over an hour and half. I suppose worth it cause now I can set it up and take it down in less than 5 minutes and I saved over $100 buying the second. I have a great swiss gear screen house. Loved it, and easy to set up, but not nearly as easy as the Clam. Nor as efficient and tight. The quality of materials used is top notch. Reinforcements are perfect. There was no skimping to factiously reduce the price. This company is genius, and they and their product get my highest recommendation. The engineering of this product really is truly genius. ADDED ON REVIEW A FEW WEEKS LATER....... I had this set up in a corner next to my house. Thinking it protected from the wind, only five stakes loosely pushed in half way. Dumb. I woke up in the morning and it was gone, and nowhere in sight. It had been lifted by the storm, and sailed over a 20 foot high playground, 300 feet from my house, and landed in the edge of the woods, leg first into the woods. I pulled it out, uprighted it...AND THERE WAS NO DAMAGE WHAT SO EVER. SCREENS, ROOF, JOINTS.....ALL TOTALLY INTACT. NOT A SCRATCH. OMG!!! I have been loving this since I bought it. Yes, it sets up in one minute. Which is why I have brought it so many places already. Oh yeah.....this is totally amazing workmanship!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I own a first up shelter. It is awesome and first class AND it is only 5 feet long and fits in my camper. HOWEVER I bought this CLAM shelter and LOVE it. It is so easy to put up, it lasted through some sprinkles, dried quickly and it awesome inside. Inside is good size. It take TWO 7.5 by 15 feet rugs to go under it. I wish it had a second door....but I love it. We also looked at a Coleman and it had a very tiny covered area. IF you are buying new, though the newer modes have a rain flap and or have the wind screens built in. I think those are awesome features. If only a few bucks difference I'd go for the upgrades. The wind screens go by color. The green screens Velcro on top and sides match the green shelter. The brown screens match the sides of the green shelter but not the top. I bought the brown wind screens anyway because I liked the windows and decided to alter them to work. The down side of the clam is #1 no roller bag and #2 it is LONG. The bag is like 75 inches long. It is a bit weighty too. Everything remains attached. You have two tie wraps to help wrap around the shelter to reinsert into the bag. I did this along in the dark and had no problem. Just up the feet in one end of the bag and put the other end in. NOTE: might be easier if you put the bag on a picnic table or tailgate so you are not bending over during put in and take out of bag. I plan on rigging up some white "Christmas" lights inside...for fun and frivolity. Be careful with the fiberglass poles. YOU do need to make sure not to have heavy stuff THROWN on top of the bag. They sell a side pole repair kit for the "1660 six pack" for $34.99. There are d rings on the outside of the tent for the wind screens. I added a string to the inside center to tie a light and help with take down. I don't try to shove a heavy wood picnic take in and out. As others noted, you may need a fan inside because this blocks some wind. We like the green (avocado color) because it "is harmonious with the surrounding environs"..he, he, he, it matches the trees...

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!

The clam is the best dining/shelter I have ever owned by far. It literally goes up in 25 seconds, a little more time to install the pegs, and slightly more if you use the ropes for when you have heavy winds. I use an extendable paint pole to put under the center in heavy winds, as this stops the center from collapsing downward which can happen from time to time. It is really quite water resistant if you have the extra panels. Otherwise, its like any other dining tent with no seeum mesh, the rain will get through for sure. But, get the panels, or build your own and this is not an issue. Its an excellent unit, high quality, some say its not, mine sure as heck is and as far as leaking seams? Get over yourself, its a bloody dining shelter, not a water proof bomb proof emergency shelter. I love mine. Enough said!

The tent did not include a rain cover. This was the one disappointing thing. Little confusing when reading over the add and other similar tents at similar prices. That said, I experienced minor rain and it kept everything inside dry. The mesh screen was fine enough to catch most of the lighter rain drops it ran down into the ground. Very quick and easy setup and take down was ideal! True to what it says it takes minutes to set up and take down. Easily done with one person. Overall I'm very happy with this product! I would reccoment to a friend.

Some friends got one of these and when we saw it we knew we just had to have one. So easy to set up in just a few minutes, very sturdy and well made. The mesh is way better quality than other screen rooms we’ve owned. Very spacious inside...we were able to get 6 adults with lawn chairs around the perimeter. On colder evenings we brought our propane fire bowl inside, placed in the centre. As long as the screens are not all closed with the accessory panels, there’s no worry about fumes. I would only caution that setting it up in strong wind is not recommended. Ours nearly took off like a kite! But if you have it staked down it should be okay unless you get caught in a gale. We are very happy with this product and highly recommend it.

When I ordered this gazebo I received a message saying it would be delayed by a week. I then decided to cancel it as I would not be home to receive as I was going away for a month. The seller decided to assist me and gave me a discount and stated that he could have it delivered to a different address since I would not be home. I received this gazebo at the address I was staying and it it awesome. I will say it did take me a little more than 60 seconds to put it up but it wasn’t so bad. It is fantastic. Lots of room on the inside and it’s very easy to dismantle and put away. I would highly recommend this product to anyone. Excellent customer service and excellent product.
