Coleman Skyshade™ 10 x 10 Screen Dome Canopy

It does the job really good. For the price, size, weight is great. Poles are really stiff and heavy, assembling is hard and a second person is needed. We use it once for a camping trip in Big Sur and it was great for keeping bee’s, bugs out. It does cover a regular size campground table and more space for moving around and cooking.

Did a trial set up in the backyard. Have not had the opportunity to use in the field yet, so can not rate its longevity. It seems to hit the right price point for what you get.

The SKYSHADE appears to be a quality product. Materials are sewn carefully with screen and zippers functioning as they should. The included ground stakes are rather weak and one bent easily while trying to insert into the ground. I will be replacing them with beefier ground stakes. The fiberglass poles are extremely long and require A LOT of horizontal space to assemble. Pushing the poles through the two sleeves was difficult for a one-person show. Would be much easier with two people. The poles wanted to (and did) separate in the sleeves requiring additional effort to reassemble and push through. Required additional effort again to put the large pole ball-end into the bottom pockets. These tasks would again be much easier with two people. Assembly took longer than I anticipated, maybe 15 minutes. That equates to quite a few bug bites. I’m sure assembly will go smoother and quicker the more times I try, and also learn some “tricks” to help make it easier.

My main reasons for purchasing this screenroom were its light weight and storage compactness. Colemans’s “Easy Up” alternative is heavier and has a larger package size. This one is lighter and more compact for transport and storage. It meets my requirements but doesn’t exceed my expectations.

Supposed to be a heavy mosquito filled summer…. hoping this purchase will make my camping experience much more enjoyable.
