dougi Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I've been thinking about a screen shelter to take with us when we go camping in the Oliver. I bet some of you have such a shelter and perhaps you could recommend one you like. I think they would make staying outdoors more comfortable by keeping the insects at bay and shielding the wind and light rain. I found this one and it looks good to me. http://www.sunnysports.com/prod/ERKTBW. ... 27316842-2 Any advice from some of you who have already used a screen shelter?

Moderators mountainborn Posted February 9, 2009 Moderators Share Posted February 9, 2009 We have tried several types over the years. I guess the main things are, will it fit over most standard USFS or USCOE picnic tables, and can one person set it up quickly. I would rather wake up in the middle of nowhere than in any city on earth 08' Oliver Legacy Elite HULL NUMBER 0003(sold) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator+ ScubaRx Posted February 9, 2009 Moderator+ Share Posted February 9, 2009 Tali and I bought a First-Up from Wal-Mart last summer. We got the screen sides (extra) to go with it. We also bought a set of rope lights to go around the inside top. We only paid $82.00 for it. They seem to have gone up since them. Best price I've seen since is $93.00. It has worked out well for us.... http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product. ... gMethod=rr Steve, Tali and our dog Rocky plus our beloved Storm, Lucy, Maggie and Reacher (all waiting at the Rainbow Bridge) 2008 Legacy Elite I - Outlaw Oliver, Hull #026 | 2014 Legacy Elite II - Outlaw Oliver, Hull #050 | 2022 Silverado High Country 3500HD SRW Diesel 4x4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earthdancer Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 This is the screen shelter Chuck and I were considering............. http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Coleman-12-X-12-Screen-House-Tent-Outdoor-Shelter_W0QQitemZ150315692602QQihZ005QQcategoryZ20721QQssPageNameZWD1VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el1247 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougi Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 That looks very good, and a good price. If you want to be able to block the view (wind or prying eyes) from the sides, be sure it has the capacity to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tumbleweed Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 It comes with a wind wall..... and I have 2 other wind walls from my show tent when I used to do street art shows/fairs..... but to me just the fact that it protects from mosquitoes and no-see-um's is more important than prying eyes! We will use ours over the picnic table at our camping job in NM this summer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
