Coleman Evanston Screened 6 Review Tested by GearLab

The tent is easy to erect with its cross frame and assist function, even by one person. It also features side windows that can be opened to let light in as needed. For optimal cooling, the tent can be used with a reversible fan ventilation (sold separately) that allows outside air to flow into the tent, creating a cooler space with the power of the wind. It’s 10 x 10 feet and 7 feet tall, with an easy one-minute set-up that could qualify it as one of the instant tents.

As mentioned before, the door on the Evanston only opens halfway. This means getting your gear in and out of the tent is much harder than it should be.

This makes the Alvantor a good option when traveling with a large family. This one even comes equipped with two doors for easy access, creating a feeling of a “front” and “back” door in its 6 total sides. The mesh walls are removable so you can have the option of increasing airflow. This is another extra large size screen tent recommended by our readers.

You have telescoping poles and they are easy to extend and to lock into place thanks to what they call pinch-free Comfort Grip technology. Note that the poles are with large feet so that the structure can stand on while you set it up. There are three main elements here, the frame, the roof, and the screen around. So the fabric elements are separately removable and you can use this structure as a gazebo with the frame and roof only. With the net in place, you have two access points with vertical zippers, the doors are on the opposite sides.

It has two doors for access in and out and sets up in three steps, taking only three minutes. Because of its durability, shape, and size, the tent is on the heavy side at 45.2 pounds.

I have the Clam 12×12 and love it, note that only the brown one is compatible with the rain panels which work really well. I’m not sure about the SPF50 rating, I sat in mine for a few hours a few weeks ago and my bald head got burnt, that was the only time I wasn’t wearing a hat. While this tent has UV protection, coleman instant tent it is not waterproof and not the sturdiest given its lightweight. So I would not recommend this model if you anticipate experiencing any inclement weather conditions. Here is a list of the best screen tents and what makes them different from each other so you can choose the right one for you.

This 2-room tent is designed to provide a comfortable and cool interior space, thanks to its ventilation function. It features Darkroom technology that blocks sunlight, allowing you to sleep in comfort and coolness. It also includes a canopy, cord pullout, lantern hanger, mesh door, ventilation, storm guard, mesh pocket, side window, and a hanging inner tent. The tent is also equipped with a wide air mesh for improved ventilation performance, allowing outside air in and discharging heat and humidity trapped inside the tent. The Darkroom roof fly blocks sunlight and cools the living room during the day. The Coleman Screened Canopy Tent is easily portable, weighing only three pounds.

Pests aren’t invited in on the action so Coleman made sure the enclosed mesh walls create the perfect space to kick back. Plus, the 2 entryways make it easy to bring gear in and out. A canopy tent is a purchase most regular car campers consider after stocking up on the basics. After all, you can find plenty of smaller and less-expensive items to help you fight bugs, guard against the sun, and shrug off rain. Considering most quality screen tents cost well over $150, we wouldn’t call them a cheap camping accessory. If you frequently camp in areas plagued by flies, mosquitos, and other insects, a screen tent is an excellent investment.
