Screen Tent with staked-down door?

[Wisconsin campers]

We're in need of a new screen tent and are looking for one with an interior pole structure. With this requirement, we are finding it hard to find one with a stake loop at the bottom of the zippered door, so we can stake down at least one side of the zippered entrance. If anyone is familiar with a currently-available 10x10 or larger screen tent with an interior pole system that has this stake feature, please send me suggestions! Thanks!

Our Gazelle 5 wall screen room has a grommet on both doors, so you can choose which side you want staked.

Enjoy

We have the Clam Venture Screen Tent and love it. Super easy to setup and tear down.

Compact in storage, pretty lightweight, quick & easy erection, a clever design and I've had 2.....upsized and bought a larger version.

A good value, and I recall there are loops at the bottom panels of the 2 doors.

The one I have allows erection over a picnic table and room for 2 camp chairs.
They come in various sizes.

Clams and their ilk are swell, but heavy, some quite long in length when folded and hot in the sun.

Very true about the heat retention of the Clam and Gazelle screen rooms (I've had a Clam and my current unit is a Gazelle, about 4 years old). But what 'gets me' about the Coleman and similar models is revealed by the photo you included: the people are not as well shaded by the tapered top.

I have recently seen a Gazelle listed with a newer, less restrictive screen material. But I haven't shelled out for one yet.

We have had the 12' clam for years and love it. Our friends are now buying them as well. With the sidewalls up and a cookstove going, it gets nice and toasty when camping in foul weather.

We have the Gazelle because its folded length is shorter than the Clam. These shelters are nice, but yes they do get hot. We seldom use ours. Probably shouldn’t have bought it.

I got mine for insect avoidance, and I've never considered the sun shading aspect. The Coleman does provide some lighter rain protection. I've not been interested in hanging out in a shelter in inclement or cold conditions. That's why I got a trailer, and let go of my nice tent.

Agreed but we hate mosquitos. They attack us to no end.

I have the Clam and like it. It's easy to setup / takedown and is well made. It's just under 6.5 long when folded down so it fits in the bed of my truck with no length to spare.

Woot is a discount clearance arm of Amazon. It's where I scored my larger Coleman screen shelter at a sweet discount.

Move quick if you're interested....stuff sells out on this site.

Thumbs up on the Clam Venture. We use ours quite a bit. Also have some side panels that can be easily attached to block sun.
