Advice on Screen Room

Postby JudyJB » Fri Apr 24, 2020 2:38 pm

Anyone have any advice on a screen room that pops up or is very easy and quick to set up? I would like to be able to sit outside without being bitten by mosquitoes. Don't want anything too big or too heavy, but saw this one:

Judy, there are several ladies in our group that have the "Clam." I understand they're lightweight and easy to use.

I have a Clam; after figuring it out (mine was an open box return and the previous buyer had turned it inside out), it's really pretty easy to set up. I know Donna has one and loves hers. Several others on FB have talked about how they like them. I haven't had the chance to use mine yet, just set it up in my yard.
Any day spent in the company of my animals is a good day.

When I went to Oregon last June, there were two or three ladies with The Clam and they said it was well worth the price. It's what I will get if I get a bigger rig.

I bought one of the 10x10 "fly's" think is the term it went to Q with me oh 4 or so years never even got out
of the box... this year it didn't even go with me... Why??? I couldn't set it up by myself... now the idea of the clam I like I might do it but one also has to consider the winds and can it be taken down quickly enough or put up strong enough to withstand the winds ... another reason it didn't get put up couldn't figure that out...
good luck with whatever you get

I have this Coleman screen house which is super easy to put up and take down. It is 10 x 10.

I sat in Linda's Clam when I was in Keystone and it was a warm day and it felt very warm inside of it. I think because it was smaller. Maybe I just felt a little claustrophobic in it. I like bigger spaces.

The one you found on Amazon looks good too.

Linda put the optional sides on her clam. So it was no longer a screen room.

Margie and Donna both have Clams and have been very positive about their quality and ease of use over the years....
