Some people didn’t know they needed a canopy tent until they got one, and now they’ll never camp without it. Whether you’re camping in your backyard or in one of America’s amazing national parks, a canopy tent will give you an extra layer of protection you’re sure to appreciate. Also, consider that the larger the canopy, the more it’s likely to weigh. If you’re camping near your vehicle then it’s no big deal, but if you’re going to do a bit of hiking before you set up camp, then make sure you’re mindful of the weight of the canopy tent.

The tent roof is made of polyester taffeta treated with a DWR (durable water repellent) coating. The walls are made of fine no-see-um nylon mesh edged with polyester taffeta. This polyester material is less susceptible to UV damage than the nylon that previous versions of this tent incorporated, but it generally has a feel that is not quite as soft.

It comes with a wheeled carry bag for relatively easy transport. My intention with these posts is to share some of the equipment that I find, or thought I would find, to make my hiking or camping experience better. Not all of the items are “must haves,” but I plan to share tips or things I wish I had known before purchasing. Now that you know coleman canopy what to look for, here are the best camping canopies currently on the market. The Woodlands Screen House uses six lightweight aluminum poles, just like the Screen House Shelter. Like the REI model, the L.L.Bean tent uses polyester (ripstop, in this case), which is more resistant to UV damage and absorbs less moisture than nylon by weight.

Many of the best canopy options have one-piece frames that can be put together by two people in no time. Even if a canopy looks nice, make sure you’re clear about how to set it up before you buy it. During the winter and early spring of 2017, we added four more canopy tents to our testing lineup. In addition to the models from REI and L.L.Bean, which became our new top picks, we tested the Coleman 15 × 13 Instant Screenhouse and the Wenzel Sun Valley Screen House.

Some brands have pricing policies that restrict the prices that Ace may sell or advertise their products. The following is a list of brands and categories that are generally excluded from promotions, discounts or coupons. This list below may not be exhaustive and may change from time to time. If you have questions, please contact the Customer Care Center.

The Screen House Shelter packs into a reasonably roomy drawstring bag with a strap that makes the canopy tent much easier to transport than tents, like the L.L.Bean, that lack a strap. The size of this tent and the mesh-covered vestibule are great for a family. Four people and furry friends will easily fit with some extra room leftover. Storage is a problem with this tent, however, because it only comes with two pockets but because the vestibule isn’t properly protected from the rain. Likewise, should your family be stuck in the tent during a storm, there is no way to cook unless you do so completely inside the tent, which is never a good idea.

Weather is uncertain and you never know how annoying bugs will be. It’s better to be prepared than to let something unexpected ruin your weekend. If you’re solo camping, you don’t need a canopy to fit eight people; it’ll just add extra unnecessary weight. If you’re camping with your family then you want to make sure the canopy is large enough to fit everyone. Camping is a blast, and a great way to get in touch with nature.
