This is one of those products where the instructions are basically a complete fantasy. They make one false unstated assumption after another. And ozark trail canopy even then, they’re not simple. What you wind up with is a web of pipes and plastic pieces that falls apart at one end as you assemble the other.
I borrowed this screen tent and thought it was a pain to put up…the center hub broke forcing me to duck tape it to keep it together. The new types that go right up without connections are so much better. It was a nice size though and eventually got up with extra tape. We placed the screen house over a picnic table at the campsite and it did a fairly good job of keeping insects out while we were eating.
Then the instructions start to get really funny. ‘Insert the leg poles into the hubs to raise the screenhouse frame’ got the first laugh. The “frame” barely stayed together on the ground. Any attempt to lift a corner and insert a leg pole resulted in pipes flying everywhere.
Great product, however, like everyone else, unable to locate replacement parts. Anyone have spare parts for sale? I need to replace the center hub (CTRH-02) since this broke while I was using it.
Sadly it blew over over in a storm last night breaking two corner pieces and the middle X broke. We are looking for these pieces if anyone wants to sell. We have a love-hate relationship with this screen tent.
