Strong, Durable, Ultra-fine Mesh No-see-um netting has much smaller holes than a mosquito net. The tight weave screens out the tiniest bugs and insects. Sleep soundly with the confidence that no bugs, insects, spiders, scorpions or snakes can get in.

Smooth, Two-Way Double Zipper The two-way zipper makes it possible to open or close the tent from either inside or outside. The two sliders allow you to open the door from a convenient position. Taller and Wider The SansBug is taller than similar nets so you can sit up in it. It's also much wider so you're not cramped in one position and can sleep comfortably. A sleeping adult changes position every 20 minutes so you're bound to touch the netting in the narrower tents and end up with multiple bites. Easier Folding Most casual campers drive to the campsite so folding into 3 circles is sufficient, easier and safer.

When folded into the more-compact 4 circles, the fiberglass poles are under a lot of stress. Lots of 10-year-olds at summer camp are pros at folding the SansBug into the 3 circles so it's not difficult. But first be sure to carefully watch the video multiple times to "get it. " The SansBug has been around since 2009 The SansBug has been used by the US and Canadian military, disaster relief responders, researchers and doctors in remote regions. It is the gold standard summer camp gear for Scouts to use on cots in canvas tents or Adirondack cabins.

It can also be used to meditate in nature, read and tan in the backyard and let cats and small pets enjoy the outdoors! Roomy, lightweight, portable and durable, the SansBug pops open in ONE second and folds down in less than 10 seconds! Don't just consider the price of the cheaper brands - they will turn out to be more costly since you will have to replace your tent. Choose the original mosquito net tent which will last years. Ummm... it looks kinda big. Are you sure it can fit on top of a cot? For the past 16 years, tens of thousands of campers have used the 1-person tent on a camping cot.

The SansBug is longer and wider than a cot so that you can comfortably sleep without touching the netting. If it was the same size, you would touch the netting and be bit. Furthermore, the overhang allows you to store a change of clothes and gear without rolling over them. The narrower shelters force you to sleep in one position and can feel claustrophobic. Moreover, there is no need to secure the tent to the cot; the weight of your sleeping bag will make it stay put. This simple, elegant design keeps the cost down and makes the SansBug easy to use.

For narrow platform tents, read the tip below. Will the 1-person mosquito net fit in the platform tents at summer camp? Lots of summer camps like Rodney Scout Reservation and Camp Read have platform tents that are wide enough to fit two 1-person SansBugs with sufficient space between them. For tents that are narrow, we suggest positioning the cots sideways (rotate 90°) so the slope of the SansBug aligns with the slope of the canvas wall tent as shown in the picture. So... what's the deal with folding this contraption??? Folding the SansBug is not intuitive.

Even if you are a rocket scientist, you still need to watch the demo videos multiple times. The paper manual is only supplementary and the videos are crucial. Once you understand the steps, folding will only take seconds. The ease of setup and takedown will save you an hour a day. You can get the hang of it for one summer and youll think you got it down but you DO need to watch the video AGAIN the following year BEFORE going to camp (there might not be WiFi).
