Durability and waterproof – I think this is kind of a given with all Coleman tents, but it was good to see it in print and reinforced. We have had ours for 10 years and I do agree that over the years the sun has taken a toll on the roof.

If you didn't have 4 people helping to put it up, the poles would easily torque on you and then likely bend or crimp themselves.My intention with these posts is to share some of the equipment that I find, or thought I would find, to make my hiking or camping experience better. Since I’m no pro, finding a tent that will be large enough, durable enough, fun for the whole family and affordable was no easy task. Find protection from the sun and bugs inside a Coleman® Back Home 12x10ft Screenhouse with OnePeak™ Technology at your next picnic, BBQ or camping trip.

The telescoping poles are easy to extend into place thanks to the pinch-free Comfort Grip™ technology and large feet that are big enough to stand on while you set up the shelter. fast setup, instructions could be better, fit of screen wall surround ,too tight for door zippers ,feels like zippers or seams will fail . The Coleman Screenhouse is perfect for your next camping trip, kids' birthday party, backyard BBQ or sports day. I'm not sure if it still is or not as we haven't tried to set it up yet this year but will on our next trip hopefully we can still use it, I think we can.Our first time using this screen house was for a full week, going though multiple rain storms with no problems no sagging no water leaking no drooping and when we had set it up at camp site we staked the poles down, but had not even needed the guide tie downs available. We will see how that works out for us but based on other PUP members comments, it should be an improvement.

One by a sever thunder storm with 70 mile wind shear proceeding it, one by a neighbor attempting to remove the top in 30 mile winds, and one damaged by our dog destroying the screen.
