SansBug Free-standing Pop-up Mosquito Net Tent

Product Information

At well under 100 dollars, these tents are a bargain. They are not toys – with the well-designed tarp in place, properly staked and guyed, they should withstand a long, heavy rain. I am impressed by the full coverage fly: it stakes right to the ground – no short “cap fly” for wind to get under. I think these tents, combined with the full fly will be as stormproof and bug-proof as tents that cost much more. Another plus, are the heavy-duty elastic stake loops, which keep things tight when the fly expands due to rain. In all, I think you have an excellent product here, albeit one designed for casual camping – namely, the kind of camping most people, and Scouts do.

Also, you can use the guy ropes to hold the tent from being blown away by strong winds. Coleman Screened Canopy Tent, 15 x 13 Shade Tent This grey tent is also waterproof at the bottom. While you may not be protected from rain that is falling from the sky, you will be protected from the muddy ground that was either there when you put your tent on it or was created by that rain.

There’s only one word for your bug tent, mosquito net tent, popup screen tent, bed net or mesh tent: SansBug. Most important, you want to protect your baby’s skin while in the sun. “Sun protection includes layers of protection (shade, sunscreen, proper sunwear), and I would highly recommend using sunscreen, even if a beach tent is being used. Both combined will add more layers of protection,” Mona Amin, DO, a board-certified general pediatrician based in Florida and member of Buybuy Baby’s Parenting Pros. Even with a tent, you should keep an eye on your baby for any warning signs of sunburn or dehydration, Dr. Adams suggests. “These signs include fussiness, redness, and excessive crying. Hydration is key. Be sure to give your child formula or breast milk if you’re out in the sun for more than a few minutes,” she says.

Hand crank charging: Some lanterns have a hand-crank or a built-in dynamo which can generate power to charge the batteries.

Keep in mind your child’s age as well, Dr. Adams recommends. “If your baby is under 6 months of age, I do not recommend any direct or indirect sun exposure because of the immaturity of their skin. They can sunburn easily,” she says. “The FDA and the AAP recommend keeping newborns and babies younger than 6 months of age out of direct sunlight. The best sun protection for these infants is to stay in the shade.” Yes, we ship to all of Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

SANSBUG mosquito net is one of the best tents for camping. It accommodates one person and is very easy to set up. For true ultralight aficionados and die-hard thru-hikers, no form of shelter burdens you less than a tarp. While we only tested two stand-alone tarps in this year's review, the Hyperlite Mountain Gear Square Flat Tarp is by far the most protective. The perfectly square design allows for endless adaptability when it comes to pitching options and locations. At only 10.9 ounces, including copious amounts of tie-out cordage, this tarp is the lightest shelter in this review. If you don't like carrying a lot of weight and you're willing to skimp on the comforts of a traditional fully covered shelter, this ultra-bomber and a durable tarp is our best recommendation.

Not all tents are made the same. If your tent doesn't have an inner compartment made from mesh, an option is to drape a mosquito net over the doorway. A net that is treated with a chemical insect repellent will be even more effective against mosquitoes and insects; to find one, look for a tent that is marked as an insecticide-treated net containing permethrin. 8. Use a bug zapper The size of this tent allows you to spread out, get comfortable and settle in for a nice meal, game or talk amidst mosquitoes and similar insects desperately wanting to get at you. Six Moon Designs' Serenity Bug Tent can be used on its own but most people will want to pair it with the Gatewood Cape and Tarp Shelter - or the Deschutes Tarp. You need a trekking pole or some sort of support for it at 114cm long or thereabouts. We like the corner supported bathtub groundsheet - and deep tub sides making this a really effective bit of kit. Avoid preparing or eating food indoors, dispose of rubbish and always clean up and wash up properly.
Wasps also hate the smell of mint and citrus, so consider using a spray around your tent. Citronella candles can also help to keep them away. FAQ How can I repel mosquitoes?

Plant-based repellents Despite the comfort, warmth and protection they offer, tents can be one of your heaviest pieces of kit. Camping tarps can offer similar benefits at a fraction of the weight. It's worth keeping in mind, though, that you will sacrifice a little comfort and protection, and so tarps alone may not be the best option for newbie campers or more extreme expeds.
