CLAM Quick Set Venture 9 x 9 Ft Portable Outdoor Camping Canopy Shelter, Tan + Clam Quick-Set Screen Hub Tent, Accessory Only, Tan (2 Pack)

I am looking to get back into car camping this fall and was searching for a screenhouse I could set up on my own. I am female, 5'3" , out of shape, and 60. i purchased the 6×6. This went up and down with minimal struggle. I think my struggles popping out the sidewalls may be short arms, not lack of strength. Still, it went up in about 5 minutes and that is awesome for one person/screen house. Have not taken it camping yet bet did setup and take down several times in back yard. Fabric is tight over the frame so it should hold up well to rain. No screenhouse or awning should be left up in high winds.even the best can go airborn. Workmanship and materials are A+. Everything as advertised. Be prepared to upgrade stakes and add ropes. This is typical for any tent I have ever purchased. Follow instruction for setup and takedown in detail. If you skip steps it turns into an octopus. This is NOT a no brainer but if done as instructed it works as advertised. Fast and sturdy. My wish list: there are no velco tabs for door wall so the rain walls can only be used on three sides. I had wanted to use as privacy tent. I think i can jimmy rig something on inside with a shower curtain. Best of all: it's bigger on the inside. No inward sloping sidewalls that shrink the foorprint like most tents. Plenty of room for two people, a dog and small table. I am very happy with my purchase. Two years later: still love it but the roof had to be water sealed. Water resistant, not waterproof. 1 can of Spray did the trick.

I bought this for protection from wind/rain/ sun during car camping. I highly recommend the side panels. They can be adjusted to cover many different ways. It works perfectly as a kitchen area to keep cool and sheltered from bad weather. Takes a bit of practice to set up. I found that if I stake down 2 corners first it’s super easy. I also attached extra guylines to the handles on the side to prevent them from popping in during gusty winds. It also packs up well as the storage bag is large enough to put it back into, I left the side walls attached and it still fit! Packed up dimensions are approx 4 1/2ft long and 27” diameter. The 6x6 size is perfect for 1 or 2 people with camping chairs and a small table. Get the 12x12 for a family or lots of friends. Excellent product!

Out of the box it weighs 18.6 lbs. Shipping box is 7.25" x 7.25" x 53" but the shelter itself is smaller around and slightly shorter. It fits nicely into my Prius (see photos), cross ways behind the front seats, in the back hatch, as well as tipped behind the driver's seat. The carrying bag is well made, with strong wrap around straps. The bag has a robust two way zipper. There are five plastic stakes - I will replace these with steel stakes, since I camp in all sorts of terrain, including rocky ground. And three tie down cords for the three sides. The instruction booklet is well written with photos, plus there’s a setup video at the Quick Set Shelters site at Customer Support Setup Instructions. There are good tips in the video. I recommend watching it. It takes longer to watch the video than to pop the shelter up. The inside of the shelter is actually a bit larger than 6' x 6' at the hubs, which protrude outwards; it’s 7' x 6.5' at the hubs. Very nice and roomy. Space for four adults on chairs, plus a small table. The build quality seems excellent. I cannot comment on water resistance since I've not yet had it in a rainstorm. It comes with three side panels for wind, each of which have a roll up window with a bug screen. These are very easy to attach. I am very pleased with this shelter.

Got the 5 sided 9’ Clam in brown with the 3 solid side covers. When we go camping, I’m the only adult, so I needed something super easy to set up. This 100% achieves that. I’ve used it 3 times now and the set up takes less than 3 minutes. I worried I wouldn’t be tall enough to pop up the center, but it’s no issue (5’6”). The first time I set it up I did worry that I was doing it wrong because you really push along the top edge of the side to get the cross frame to pop out. Pros: so easy to set up, makes a great place to set up camp & move bikes into over night to keep dry. Solid panels are easy to add/remove/move around to customize where you have added privacy. 5 sided/9’ fits two roll top camp tables and two chairs with room to move around. Also worked extremely well as a shaded space for kids to play in. Cons: the mesh sides really don’t let breeze/air movement to happen so it can get a bit stuffy and make sure to stake it down every time because the wind will tumble it over. Once bugs get in, it’s hard to get them out without taking the whole thing down (although when you do, the bugs have a way to escape so you don’t have to end up with a bunch of dead bugs next time you use it). I am very pleased with my purchase. The seller was responsive - the shelter ships separate from the side panels (makes sense) but Amazon only listed one tracking number, so when the side panels arrived and I couldn’t see a status for the shelter, I reached out.

This shelter is very easy to put up and takes very little time to do so. It will accommodate 2 camp chairs and a small camp table. When the 3 walls are attached, it provides good shelter from wind and rain. When it staked into the ground, it is very stable and secure. Ours’ came through a 4 hour series of and wind without a problem.

I’ve used this for almost 3 years now and I absolutely love it. I’ve taken it on countless trips and it has never let me down. I did experience a tiny leak in one corner in a heavy rainstorm. When I came home I seam sealed it and put an end to that. Definitely recommend this and the wind panels. I’ve had 4 people with chairs and a propane heater in there. I’m 6’3 and I can stand up. It’s also stood up to some heavy wind. It might flex and shake but it holds in. I usually sleep in a hammock so having this to hang out in and cook in is fantastic.

I received my Clam 6 x 6 foot last week! The delivery was much quicker than anticipated. I was thrilled that after watching You Tube videos I was single handedly (67 year old female, 5'6" tall) able to put my new screen room up by myself!! It came back down just as simply. Took it camping this past weekend where it was very windy. I did put stakes on the inside grommets and used the guy ropes and stakes as well. My Clam withstood the wind with ease. When I put the screen covers on the 3 sides it enabled me to sit outside in comfort! Also, I was concerned that the 6 x 6 might be too small. However, with the bowed sides and roof it seems much bigger. 2 people in big chairs and a table fit in with lots of room. I am very pleased with my Clam!!

Really nice Screen tent. I'm over 70, put up myself. Only thing I'm not fond of is that the roof is too light and the sun is too bright. Would recommend.

A very good sturdy product. Well made. But very difficult to set up, the sides don't pull out easily as shown in video they are very stiff. best to have 2 people to set it up.
