Well the screen room that we set up over the picnic table to protect us from the bugs and inclement weather finally bit the dust on the previous trip  :(

Which means I now get to go out and buy a new one  :-()

We use the screen room pretty much on every trip, the old one was cumbersome to set up, so what model do you guys use?

I'm looking for something that one person could set up, or at least one adult and one older kid. Easy to setup and just as quick to take down and store in the pup.

thanks

Here's what I ordered this week from Cabelas Bargain Cave:

It's scheduled to arrive today, so I can provide feedback about setup as soon as I give it a try.

:D

tho doable, these shelter/screen rooms are much easier to set up with two people.  you each grab a side and walk backward, which slides the arms up the legs.   on your own, there is no one offering resistance as you struggle.

i know cos I have a white one for flea market selling.

that said, I have/had an 8 x 8' one whose frame got mangled in a megastorm...looked like an octopus on steroids.  I still have the cover/screen and am trying to order a new frame from EZ-UP...not sure if they still make them in that size, but it's great for an 8' Popup.

didn't notice your price, but I recently succumbed to a Tuscany model (not sure which brand it was) to use on my deck - comes in brown/rust/tan stripes has more fabric in the corners, which provides more shade, and then screen doors on, I think, two sides.  comes in bag with wheels.  I hate to admit it, but I paid (gulp) $250 at Sports Authority...but a lot of the gazebos are now about $400.
