Highly detailed and thorough. I really love all the info you provide. I've never used one of those tents, but maybe it would set up easier with a cane or other means to push it up. You're right, most tents aren't designed for seniors.

Seems to get harder to set them up each year. Thanks for commenting

I had a ground blind for hunting that was similar to this screen house. It was a pop up too. The ceiling on my blind was not nearly as tall so it was easier to get in it and push the roof out. I had many a good wrestling match in the woods with it. It was super functional and pretty tough. Just always a bit of a struggle to set up or tear down. Thanks for sharing Mark and good luck with the Vevor. Looks to be a pretty good unit.

I guess I will be struggling with whatever I get for a screen house. May as well be this one. Thanks for commenting Steve

I have the 12x12 version. I lift mine up in the center to let the walls even out first then I stake it down then lift the roof. I bought larger stakes also. I also bought a medium duty tarp to use as a floor because we sleep inside on the ground. I like the larger size so I can set it up over my picnic table. It worked well in light rain,no leaks. It seems pretty durable but I dont think it will last 20 years like my canvas tent.

Great tip on setup. I will be using that next time for sure. Thanks for commenting

Thank you for this video. I am looking for a temporary screen for my back door, which is at least 9' off the ground to the top of the door. Been so far all over the internet looking at screens like that, but they are NEVER tall enough to get to the top of my door... I will look into it better at another day, save it to my home screen, to get to it immediately.

This tent is almost exactly like common ice fishing shelters except ice fishing shelters of course do not have the screen material. Just a thought, might it be a bit easier to pop the roof out if you were to perhaps pop out two of the walls that are next to each other and maybe opposite of the doorway. Next pop "out" the roof from the outside while the roof is still accessible from the outside and before popping out the last three side walls? Follow this by popping out the remaining side walls. I have done this on occasion with my four wall ice fishing shelters though have never tried it with a five wall unit (don't have any). Haven't really noticed it being any easier to do it this way with my body's strength and flexibility levels but perhaps you and your tent may be different. Don't know if that would be helpful but it may be worth a try to find out. Edited: After going to the website I see that the shelter is six sided instead of five sided as I had supposed. So perhaps you may want to pop out three walls before attempting popping the roof. As I said earlier, this is a suggestion to try rather than a recommendation.

Hi Lonnie. Strangely, the roof hub has a loop of webbing on the outside which wold lead me to think it could be pulled up. I could not find a way to reach the loop short of laying the who assembly on its side and then I could not stabilize the sidewalls enough to pull the roof out. Having said that, I will try anything that might make the job easier. Thanks for commenting

@@MarkYoungBushcraft ahhh okay. I have done what was described on my 7 X 7 foot four sided ice fishing shelters but did not think of the added width of your larger shelter. Good luck on finding a solution

I have another brand tent, and the zipper screen door is a very inconvenient design. I should use magnets, like the ones on deck doors at home.

I bought the 10x10 ft gazebo. It was a bear to set up especially the roof. Next time I'll try staking the sides down like you did. Also, it is too hot in Georgia to use this for summer camping. I'll probably have to use it in winter and buy a inexpensive light duty screen room for summer use.

I can see this tent getting hot compared to others. Our weather does not get that hot so I don't think it will be an issue. We can get some heavy rain while camping so the sidewalls should be good to have. Thanks for commenting

That's a pretty cool tent and something I could see myself using for my backyard. 😊👍 Thanks for sharing, take care my friend and Cheers!

G'day Mark, I'd strongly suggest, (no mandatory), to try ALL kit in the backyard first. For shelters, I put the hose on 'em ........ on full whack straight up to simulate vertical falling rain and at various other angles too, ....... rain aint always vertical ; ) I've run a coupla different brands over the years, (family camping), now I just use the awning wall kit for my Blackwolf Turbo 300 tent. However, the first thing I do with "gazebos" is replace the supplied guylines with rope, (springs debatable) and as you have, upgrade the pegs, (I repurposed those off an old swing set, must be 3/8 in. diameter and a foot long). Fair to say they are more susceptible to wind than your average tent and with no floor, the weight of the contents is no help either. I do like the design of this one, i.e. applying the pop out concept to the walls as well as the roof. As well as rigidity, I can see the "bulbous" walls offering a bit more "elbow room". (though, not sure if "half height" guy points will turn out to be less effective than those at the top, ...... the ol' Pythagoras and basic physics might have something to say about that ; ) ......... but off course will negate the chance of a "reverse" pop ; ) Also, its good to be able to "half" fold up the walls in hot weather. i.e. maintaining shade but providing way more airflow. I wonder if it's possible/desirable to pop the roof first ? when there's less, or no, tension from the walls ......... and why not make the "lantern hook" a strap that doubles as a take down pull handle.. Anyway, best of luck with it mate, no reason why car camping needs be uncomfortable ; ) Cheers Duke.

Hi Duke. I may try again to pop the roof up before pulling out the walls but I will still need to stake it down as it takes a good amount of pressure. Once up, it is incredibly stable. Thanks for commenting

Very good video explaining every step. It is so much easier to watch a video like this and then have an easy time putting up the tent. I am considering buying this 10x10 tent and setting it up on our paver patio. I was thinking of buying weight bags and filling with sand and attaching the Guy Rope or, if it will work, attach the gommet tags to it with metal clips. There's no other way to anchor it. What do you think? I also plan to spray the top and Wind Cloth with clear polyurethane or some waterproof spray.

@MarkYoungBushcraft

I would think sand bags would work. I have to wait until I use it in the rain to see if it needs a coating. Thanks for commenting

So, you spent around a month "screening" the gazebo screen to see if it fits your needs? 😉 I can see why you have the gazebo as another place to go instead of only having a tent. When your not camping, this would be great for picnics in a park or the beach. ✌️🇺🇸🇨🇦✌️

Hi Mark, I really appreciate your videos. Thank you! Have you ever checked out Eureka’s Northern Breeze 12 model? I feel it’s been around forever, but it gets a lot of things right.

In fact, it was one of the first I looked at. We see them often at the park where we camp. It was high on our list but also a bit expensive and no side walls to protect from rain. Thanks for commenting

@@MarkYoungBushcraft it does have sidewalls that are rainproof. They roll up, which I find more appealing than relying on Velcro to attach completely separate pieces. I realize it’s expensive, but note it’s currently 40% off on the Eureka website. I wish you and your wife an excellent summer!

ha, one would be amazed at what one can fit in a Jeep Wrangler..for three. Anyhoo, maybe try not staking for kicks...go inside and zipper it shut and then push up roof? Like lightning force taking least resistance? ~ I know ya didn't show it but my mind's eye got what ya meant staking it down. lol, left off folding it up ay? It does look better than some sun shades/mosquito I've bought that twist back to a hoop. ..rain shades/privacy on the outside is a plus for no leaks..well It's not an old Eureka tent of 90s design.
