SANSBUG Screen Tent for 2-3 People (Instant Pop up, Strong No-See-um Mesh, Durable Tarp Floor)

Product description Portable Popup Playpen Let your baby or toddler enjoy a truly memorable afternoon in a portable popup playpen amid a field of sweet-smelling wild flowers. The incredible SansBug screen tent can ensure your escapade goes off without a hitch. Let the fresh air drift in while keeping any flying or crawling critters out. SansBug provides an instant cocoon to help you de-stress, unwind and escape the natural way. What makes the SansBug different from cheaper brands? 1.
Material: we use high quality no-see-um mesh which blocks even the smallest of insects and bugs and the other components and fabrics are more heavy-duty than the cheaper brands. 2.
Craftsmanship: our factory has professionals who pay attention to detail. 3.
Dimensions: more headroom so you can sit up in it. Also wider so you can comfortably sleep without fear of touching the sides and being bit through the mesh. An average adult changes position every 20 minutes when sleeping so you can't be expected to sleep in only one position! 4.
Folded size: the SansBug is 3-folded so there is less chance of breaking. It can be 4-folded smaller if needed. The SansBug has been around since 2009. 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. So... what's the deal with folding this contraption??? Many 10-year olds at camp are pros at folding it so it's not difficult. You can fold the SansBug easily if you carefully watch the demo videos several times and understand the steps. You may end up breaking the poles if you try to wrestle with it. Even if you are a rocket scientist, you still need to watch the videos multiple times. 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). Once you get the hang of it, folding will only take seconds! Ummm.

.. it looks kinda big. Are you sure it can fit on top of a cot? For the past 15 years, tens of thousands of campers have used the 1-person net on a 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. Tarp or Poly? Some users mentioned that the tarp makes noise when you move in your sleep, so we came up with a 1-person poly floor version. The poly is softer, lighter and not as bulky as the tarp. So if youre using the net to lay on a smooth and soft surface, like a (air-)mattress or carpet, then you should go with the poly floor. But if youre using the net to lay on a camping cot or on the ground, then get the tarp which is more durable. You could also use the poly floor outdoors but make sure you use a groundsheet underneath (the groundsheet is always a good idea even with the tarp floor as it is easier to replace a groundsheet than to replace a sewn-in floor). Otherwise, both 1-person nets are identical.
