Whether you’re camping, beaching or just want to have an outdoor dinner without being harassed by flying insects, you’ll find a screen tent to suit your needs.  These tent enclosures allow excellent ventilation while preventing insects, bug and mosquitoes.

Most of the popular models are constructed of a steel wire frame with fine mesh.  The floors are generally zipped and although many come with tabs to tiedown ties, these are not always included and should be checked before you decide to buy.

Sizes range from 8×8 which will comfortably accommodate a small table and two chairs, but for families, you will want to invest in a 12 x 12 or 10 x 12 gazebo which is large enough to accommodate six adults easily. For those travelling to the tropics and wish to camp out, the sleep screen is designed to accommodate a single person sleeping on a cot or two people in sleeping bags. It pops up easily and packs away into a small 3 pound bag and is excellent at preventing mosquitoes from getting new you while you sleep.

Pop-up screens are very popular for beach outings.  They come in a variety of sizes and shapes and can accommodate any number of people. Due to the fact that they fold up to a very compact size and are made from extremely lightweight materials, means that they can be left in your vehicle or can be carried in a travel bag very easily

For those who already have a 12 x 12 gazebo without sides or a similar size awning or canopy, you have the option of a mosquito netting to place over the gazebo.  This drops down over the gazebo and can be secured to the ground with sand or pegs (not included).  These designs have a zippered door for easy access.

The greatest advantages of getting a pop up screen room are that they are quick and easy to erect and take down.  For instant shade and comfort, you cannot beat them and they are excellent at increasing your living space while travelling, enjoying your garden or spending time in your RV.
