The Eureka Screen House is just right for family campers and backyard picnics. The Screen House features strong chain-corded steel frame over durable polyester fabric. 4 poles connect to steel reinforced Eureka Hub to provide a central attachment point. Self-supporting and easy to set up. Large enough for a picnic table, with 128 sq. ft. of shade and protection from the elements.
Works well once it's set up.

Comments about Eureka Eureka External Screen House:
This screen shelter requires two people to set up. One person can't do it. Once it's up, it works well both to keep bugs out, to stay dry in a light rain and also provides some protection from sun. It seems that the zippers and screen fabric are sturdy. However, two of the telescopic poles came apart after only two uses. I could temporarily fix them with pliers. Also, the plastic hub which holds the poles together is starting to bend and crack after only two camping trips. A metal hub would be much stronger since there is a lot of tension on the hub. Because of these concerns, I would recommend this product to a friend only with reservations.
