CLAM Fast-Set Escape Transportable Pop Up Tenting Outside Gazebo Display Tent Cover Shelter and Carry Bag with 3 Wind and Solar Panels, Inexperienced

Works great
Going to use it for a battery powered scooter and an ebike. I’ve used it twice and it works great. Used a tarp on inside front for a little more water protection.Very sturdy, very easy to put up by myself, even with a bum shoulder. Easy to take down and put back in bag. It did great in several days of hard rains. Chairs and all stayed dry. A little pricey but the ease of set up and take down was worth it. It can be used as a screenhouse or put sides and back wall on for more privacy. My tarp fit perfectly on the front. Happy with this purchase but was missing 3 stakes.

So easy to set up, and the wind panels really work
We have 2 different Clam portable screen shelters, and we love them both.The 12 x 12 is large enough to accommodate an 8 ft picnic table at a campsite, but it folds enough to fit into the space we have available on the floor of our travel trailer. We can set it up in about 1 minute, and it takes only a little bit longer to take it down, because it has to be folded and stuffed into the bag.We love having the wind panels, although I wish we had known that they did not fasten the same as the panels on our other model. Because they only have 2 velcro attachments in addition to hooks at the top, and they do not have a flap that covers the top, they allow rain to dribble onto the screen. The panel for the door does not fasten at all except at the hooks at the corners, so it will sag and let rain blow in. We are considering adding velcro in the same locations as the side panels. The description does say wind panels, though, not rain panels, and we should have noticed that before we bought it.Still, with the panels up, most of the rain stays out, and the one thing we really like about these panels is that they can be loosened at the top while still be fastened along the sides with the velcro and the hooks at the bottom corners. This creates privacy around the bottom of the screen, and keeps the panels attached enough to be thrown back up quickly during a sudden, unexpected rain storm. Of course, the panels can be left attached or taken off for each independent side.The screen keeps out most bugs, but like any screen, not all. It is still great protection from bugs, and we love the fact that it provides a bit of shade while keeping stuff from falling onto the picnic table.The no-see-um mesh is fine enough to act as a bit of a wind screen itself, though, so it keeps breezes out on a hot day. That is the one drawback.We have had many people ask us where we got this screen after seeing how easy it is to put up and take down and how well it protects from bugs as well as the weather. It is a great addition to our camping gear.Three things to consider:1. The storage bag fits – barely. We get that storage space is a consideration, but the bag could be a bit longer and wider – especially when the screen has to be taken down wet.2. The screen comes with stakes, but they are not the best for hard surfaces. The campgrounds often have gravel pads. We purchased different stakes that work better in hard surfaces, stay put, yet pull out more easily.3. If purchasing the screen without panels, and you decide to get them later, make sure you get the correct panels for the model of screen you purchased. Also, I think some models do not have panels avaialbe. We really recommend getting the panels!

Excellent screen tent
The Clam Quick-Set Escape shelter is a great addition to the backyard, RV site, work area. It can fit up to 6 people comfortably, or is a good place for extra items. We had previously owned a Clam Venture and were amazed at how quick and easy setting up and taking down/packing are. The Escape model, while larger, is just as easy to set up. Haven’t had to take down yet, but don’t anticipate any issues. This was part of a package which included 6 wind/rain panels, which was well worth the extra cost. HIGHLY recommend!

Easy to set up
Wish we would have purchased this sooner. It is easy to set up and take down once you watch a couple videos. We were very comfortable sitting inside it, but we did have small fans blowing on us. Glad we chose the bigger size for ease of getting around with our lounge chairs and small tables inside it. Measure the area of storage in your travel vehicle, I guessed it would fit, my husband didn’t think it would, we have a smaller RV, but it fit. It feels sturdy and it kept the bugs out. We were happy that it weighed less than the prior canopy we had. We added one side shade panel to keep us out of the sun which worked great.

This shelter is very easy to put up and takes very little time to do so. It will accommodate 2 camp chairs and a small camp table. When the 3 walls are attached, it provides good shelter from wind and rain. When it staked into the ground, it is very stable and secure. Ours’ came through a 4 hour series of and wind without a problem.

Love the protection from bugs and rain. Easy to set up and pack up. The vertical walls make for greater living space than traditional screen shelters that slope. Some people might not like the single door but it’s no big deal for us. The add-on wall panels work great except there is no version for the door side so we leave that one off. We also traded out one wall panel for a DIY clear vinyl replacement to give light and a view. A great feature is, the light coloured roof that makes the inside so much brighter than a dark roof would allow. Only complaint is the zipper: because it is the only door it gets heavy use and we’ve repaired it several times each season. Might need to replace it soon. That said, we love our Clam so much that I bought another (this order) as a gift for my daughter and son-in-law. Whether we are tenting, using our motorhome, the Clam is another room when needed.
