1. Great for sun shade and to keep away from the bugs

   There’s a HUGE screen door that folds away at the side nicely, so you can keep it open to enjoy the views or close it up for some extra shade. It wasn’t hard to set up either, since there’s just two poles and 4 stakes. I’ve used this for park picnics, camping, and at outdoor rec events and found all kinds of uses for it that are holding up well. A lot of places I camp have a picnic table and a fire ring but not necessarily shade coverage. I now have an extra place to stash my gear that’s NOT in my tent that’s out of the sun and doesnt stink up my car. My dog loves it because he needs to stay cool even more than me (he’s a black husky/shepherd mix) and he just chills on the tarp floor with no qualms whatsoever. I love it because I can set this up so easily in so many places to enjoy nature’s scenery while not needing to worry about reapplying sunscreen or overheating as much. Did mention how it’s now my best bug repellent as well? My dog won’t fend off mosquitoes like me, but now we both have a place to keep us separated from those annoying blood suckers. The poles are sturdy enough that I found myself using this as a windscreen so I could cook with my stove and not keep relighting it all the time. It turned out to be key for when I was tailgating before a softball game I had when we wanted to cook burgers in the parking lot. Sirius_Camper on Jun 18th 2019
