About Wenzel:
Wenzel has been bringing families together and creating lasting memories in the outdoors for the last 120 years. When the sun rose on the first family campers in America, Wenzel was there. Wenzel has built a company around the basic human need to escape, recharge, and connect with the outdoors. Wenzel creates the modern tools that families require to experience the outdoors in comfort. To do this, they run each product through a very specialized filter--their own families. New features for family camping are easy to talk about in boardrooms with power point presentations, but are a whole different story in the middle of the woods. Wenzel knows what family camping is like, which is why they make the tents easy to set up, take down and pack away for next time.

I camp every month for at least 5 days. I love to cook and have quite a kitchen set up. This tent not only has room for all my kitchen gear, but I can also put a 6' table in the center with fold up chairs to sit and enjoy the meal with my fellow campers. The best thing is it has a floor. You don't find too many screen houses with floors. This keeps out the little critters who love to share my food, lol. I'm not talking about the flies, bees, gnats and wasps. That is a given with most screen tents. I'm talking about the mice, kangaroo rats, snakes and all the little crawling friends.
My only problem is a design flaw with the pole attachments across the top. The ends just go into a grommet and stay with tension. I am in wind almost always. It can withstand the normal constant breeze, but the big gusts cause the house to bow and give, which is expected. But the ends have popped out on me more than a few times. My first house got hit with a gust and an end came out and tore thru the top, and gave me a 2' rip. I fixed that. I have devised a way to keep the ends in, but I shouldn't need to do this. Think of something Wenzel. I Love this screen house. So much so that I bought another one and is in storage when this one finally bites the dust. I take care of all my equipment very well, but when u camp as much as I do, things will wear out.
It is easy to put up and down and folds down to a great size in the bag. Just fix the flaw please. I'd buy 2 more. Promise! Sherry:)

I bought this because I love the design. This is the only screen room with this design -- the long fiberglass poles arching on all four sides allow this screen room to have a roof that is wide and high (in contrast to the normal dome structures with only two poles that cross in the center and provide sloping sides and a small central canopy). Yes, it takes longer to put six poles through long sleeves and this would be fantastic (and probably about $300) with aluminum poles and speed clips, BUT the design is spacious (I can stand inside and extend my arms straight up and not touch the ceiling in the center) and it can be put up by ONE person with a little patience. I'm 5'2", 105 lbs and almost 50 yo, but I was able to put the thing up by myself quite easily within an hour. That seems like a long time, but this is a big structure with six long poles. The result is pretty sweet. I did rip one of the sleeves a bit when a pole joint caught on the sleeve while I was setting the final pole onto the last pin. The joint caught the sleeve and ripped about a 2-inch gash in the sleeve. The structure will still function, and I've just put a bit of duct tape on it, in case I don't want to go to the trouble of exchanging it. But the fact that it ripped at all gives me some concern. The upper material is pretty thin and not too sturdy, so I am concerned that this won't hold up long term. I may have to take a roll of duct tape with me!
One of the reasons I chose this design is the floor. And, while I think the upper fabric is a bit thin, this floor seems pretty sturdy (the floor accounts for most of the weight of the gazebo). Granted, you cannot put this over a picnic table, because the floor is attached. But I needed a floor to keep my senior collie out of the weeds and dirt and bugs. The built in floor on this thing is an awesome feature for me and the doggies. Plus I can zip them in there to keep them in place and they can still see me wherever I go at the campsite.
The fabric is a bit thin and light for blocking the sun -- won't do the job as well as a thicker or darker fabric during the summer. And the directions indicate that it's not really intended to keep out lots of water. So this appears to be a fair weather structure. But I like it anyway -- the design is spacious and very functional for my needs. Just know what you're getting and you'll be happy. And at this price point, I think the gazebo is a good deal even with cheaper material.
Take down -- I timed it with a stopwatch at 17 minutes for me solo. Obviously lots faster with more people. And I could have done it a minute faster if the bag was about an inch larger. Hard to get all the air out, because of the thick floor. But overall? Very simple set up and break down even for one person. It's about time -- thank you Wenzel.
If anyone from Wenzel reads this -- your design is pure gold and I would have paid a bit more for better (i.e., darker, stronger, and more waterproof) upper fabric. And decent stakes. Why do they always include the cheapo L-shaped metal stakes? They are absolutely useless for any structure. The guy lines are decent, but plan on ordering real stakes for the screen tent if you may encounter any wind or rain. I've just ordered some MSR Groundhog stakes that get great reviews and I'm sure I'll be absolutely comfy and the envy of the campground on my next trip with the dogs in my new screen gazebo.

By James C.E.
I love the Gazebo and the fact that it has two sides with no windows. I give it four stars for two reasons.
1. The sides without the screens are actually more translucent that it appears so sun light still shines through very well. I guess it will be good for some people but just not enough for me during the summer.
2. This thing needs at least two people to put it together. Not something that I could have done easily alone (would have been entertaining).
It still gets four starts because it keeps the bad things out (like bugs) and large enough to house several people comfortably.
