Screenhouse Buying Guide

To choose the most appropriate screenhouse or shelter, ask yourself the following questions.

How will you use the screenhouse or shelter?

While screenhouses can be used for protection from bugs, they may not be the best choice if you're looking for shelter from the sun and UV protection. Conversely, shelters may offer sun and UV protection and shelter from rain, but no relief from mosquitoes and other biting insects.

When and where will you use it?

If you're camping in the spring or summer, the mesh walls in screenhouses can offer a great escape from mosquitoes and no-see-ums. If bugs aren't a problem, but your campsite has few shelter trees, consider a shelter for sun, rain or UV protection.

  • No-see-um mesh walls — For protection from the smallest of insects
  • Dry-Tanium™ fabric treatment — Helps keep rain out
  • UV protection — Protection from the sun's damaging rays
