Bug Proof Coleman Screen Shelter Gazebo

Leave your comment

With the beautiful, balmy summer nights finally arriving, its time to entertain outdoors.

But I find that as the sun goes down, out come the mosquitoes. So there you are settled down with a cool drink, in your favorite lounger slapping away at the mossies. Or you have to burn citronella lamps or slap on the repellent, neither of which smell the best.

Well not any more. The Coleman Instant Screened Shelter  is absolutely ideal for lounging around in the great outdoors and keeping you protected from the bugs

It is so fast and easy to put up because of the Coleman InstaClip construction and the 5 shock corded poles that keep the tent fabric nice and taut.

But not only is this shelter simple to put up it  has a center hub and windstrong system so that the frame is locked into place giving the shelter the strength to stand up to windy conditions, so you can still stay outside comfortably even when summer breezes pick up. This resistance to wind is also helped by the guy lines that also give the shelter added stability.

Now some of the other features of this screen shelter is that it  is made from a durable polyester taffeta thas a 450 millimeter water resistant PU coating that is also is CPAI-84 flame resistance compliance. It has roof vents for airflow, two large doors, non-wicking threads and zippers, a hanging pocket organizer  that conveniently holds all those small items and it all comes in a handy storage bag that keeps everything together.

The shelter measures 15′ x 13′ and has a 7’4″ center height so there is plenty of headroom and space to move around in.
