 Good Product Jan 26, 2010
Assembling the poles can be trick but it is really nice once set up. Much bigger than we though. It kept the bugs out and the rain off our table.

It can survive Burning Man, so it can survive anything. Jan 01, 2010
We looked around extensively to find a shade structure to take with us to Burning Man, a festival in the middle of the Nevada desert with occasional high winds, sandstorm whiteouts, and the daily hot, blazing sun. We chose this one and were not disappointed.
We practiced setting it up in our yard twice before taking it on our trip -- it took two of us to put it together, and I doubt one person could do it alone without damaging any pieces. The poles attach securely to the "hub", and my boyfriend held the hub and poles up while I walked around and attached/extended all the poles. Once attached, we set down the thin-spider frame and made sure the feet were evenly spaced. Attaching the net was pretty easy -- start at the hub and work your way out. The last clips along the bottom sometimes required a little persuasion if the feet weren't evenly spaced, but it was easily fixable.
At Burning Man 2009, we set up the shade structure and my boyfriend held tight as the wind tried to blow it away before we had it staked. We set it up as before, secured it with 12" stakes at every point and used four of the six tie downs -- tying two to the car -- just to be safe. It lasted through a week of brutal elements -- sand, white outs, hot sun and occasional high winds. None of the clips broke, none of the poles bent, and when we disassembled the dust saturated structure on Sunday, it came down easily. You do need a flathead screwdriver or something to get the thin metal clips to undo the poles from the hub, but that is the only difficult part.
We were able to fit our smallish 4 man tent, two camping chairs, two coolers, and a giant tote of goodies inside our shade structure. We attached sheets (with wind vents) to the outside of the structure to minimize dust and wind inside, using zip-ties and binder clips to secure them to the poles of the shade structure. Even with the added weight and resistance of the sheets, our structure stood strong.
We couldn't have asked for a better shield from the elements, and we highly recommend this to anyone looking for a solid shelter that's easy to set up.
Great screenhouse. Dec 08, 2009
Its a great screenhouse. We are campers and bought this to put over the picnic table. There is plenty of room for the standard size picnic table and ample room to walk around it and store coolers and boxes in it too. We got some stray cinders on it from the campfire and although it singe it, it didn't go up in flames. Just some tiny little holes the size of the cinders. Its heavy enough too that the wind doesn't blow it over.
 Nice and easy Sep 11, 2009
With two people, the tent can be set up in no time. Just snap the tubes together and up it goes. It is just as easy to take down.

It went up easier than I thought and seems to be of good quality. Time will tell whether it will last in the sun and wind. I would buy another one at this time if I need to.
