Wenzel Sun Valley Screen House

Went up well no issues. Waterproof to a certain extent

My family and I do a LOT of camping each summer and years ago chose to get rid of an older screen house we had. Our main complaints with the old screen house was that although it had a large footprint (approx. 9x13'), the walls slanted upward making getting around the table difficult. In addition, when it rained it really didn't offer much protection from the elements. That left us with a small but necessary set of requirements for a screen house:1) must allow easy movement around the table2) must have vertical or nearly vertical walls3) must offer adequate protection from rainI searched through hundreds of offerings on Amazon and kept coming back to this one. All others that had vertical or nearly vertical walls would allow for nearly no movement around the table itself. Many picnic tables at campgrounds in State parks we go to are quite large (8-10 feet long). We need to be able to move around it without scraping the walls and bumping into each other. This screen house DOES have nearly vertical walls. It's a true 12x12' allowing PLENTY of room all around a large campground picnic table. There's actually so much room we could put our Coleman RoadTrip stove and cooler inside with room to spare. The ceiling doesn't allow the water pool when it rains, but due to the construction of it, the rain is effectively routed off toward the corners making them very effective "gutters". Entry in/out of the doors is easy as the zippers work well.Other nice touches of it are that it's easy to assemble. 2 people are preferable, but it CAN be done with 1 person if needed. The tie-downs have reflective piping in them, and there is also a strip of reflective material on both sides of the screen house. It folds down into a very compact bag that's easy to transport. The stakes that are included are reasonably heavy duty, although the two large plastic ones might break with aggressive hammering.All things being said, I couldn't be more pleased with this screen house. I literally can't think of a con to it other than the possibility of failure of the two plastic stakes to stake down the center of each door.

Ist für das Geld echt gut. 3,65 x 3,65 relativ einfach zum Ausstellen, jedoch muss man zu Zeit sein. Sieh gut aus, gute Verarbeitung.

I’ve had this screen tent up on a concrete patio for nearly two months. It went through a very severe wind/rain storm that threatened to destroy it. The CEO’s poles that form the roof actually inverted due to the wall poles being bent and pushed so far out of shape. I had one guy line tied to a foundation block and it drug the block about 2 ft. That gives you an idea how powerful the wind was. But I ran out and pushed the roof back into shape before enough water collected in it to collapse the thing. Then it inverted again and I again pushed it up. The wind was pushing the tent snd one side had moved a couple feet. So to try to relieve the wind pressure on the screen sides I opened both zipper doors completely so wind could pass through. It made it, though the yard nearby were littered with several large limbs and bunches of leaves, etcAs to waterproof, I’ve stayed in it during a couple good thunderstorms. The seams in the roof let a bit of water through and it created a few very slow drips. Other than that, not a drop came through the roof. I’d treated it with nikwax tent cleaner/waterproofer when it was new, mainly as a UV protectant, since the material of the tent will weaken and deteriorate with exposure to sun and UV, but think it would have done well without it.I’m very pleased with it. It very large and tall enough to walk anywhere in it without coming close to hitting my head. (I’m 5’9”)Some crawling bugs get in under the skirt, and flying bugs seem to get in easily if they’re attracted to a light. I put a bug zapper inside and was amazed at the hundreds of tiny moths that were somehow able to get inside. Still can’t figure it out.But I’ve since used a floor lamp and have no problems with any more than a few flying bugs. It really does keep out 99.9% of them. Earlier in spring there were swarms of gnats/flies and it would have been impossible to enjoy back yard without this.Inverted T design of zippered entrances is a little inconvenient, but I’ve found if you can step on the skirt and then pull up on zipper it works ok.Had a 10x10’ floored tent and it was a hassle if it rained as water/insects would get under ground tarp and floor and would be a mess to dry and clean when packing. This is the perfect solution. Water runs across patio in rainstorms, but can easily dry. Simple matter to sweep patio and simply sweep stuff out under the skirt. Also easy to run power cord and coax cable into tent under skirt to enjoy tv, fan, floor lamp, phone charger, etcVery pleased with this tent. So far has held together under severe conditions.

Sous une pluie ordinaire et sans vent cet abris est parfait. Leger, facilement montable et démontable préferablement à deux mais je la monte seul habituellement. Par contre, sous de fort vent, le dessus de l'abris se virera à l'envers et si il pleut l'eau si accumulera et brisera les poteaux.Lorsqu'il pleut très fort j'ajoute une bâche pour éliminer tout les problèmes. La prochaine abris aura des côté refermable pour empêcher la pluie d'entrer et mouiller tout les accessoires sur la table de pique nique.
